Elegantly scrolled above the bar at Kellari Taverna is the expression "Enter as Strangers, Leave as Friends," which should tip you off to the welcoming nature of the place. Greek for "cellar," Kellari offers 250 wines by the bottle and dozens by the glass, as well as a decor of beamed cathedral ceilings and earth-toned walls, furthering the wine cellar vibe. The menu is authentic with an emphasis on traditional whole fish sold by the pound and grilled with lemon and olive oil, as well as an impressive selection of fondue-style saganaki as well as an extensive choice of mezedes, small starter plates meant for sharing.
