This warm, wood-carved, two-story Mediterranean seafood outpost sets sail with grand tables and chairs fit for a captain. Signature Greek appetizers of saganaki (flambéed kefalograviera cheese imported from Greece), marinated and grilled octopus, and an ample raw bar give way to heaping plates of under-$20 specialties like Tegani Tis Marias (chicken breast and shrimp sautéed with onions, tri-color peppers, olive oil, tomatoes and Greek Herbs) and fish selections, including porgy, red mullet, and salmon. Landlocked patrons can opt for Arni Psito (roasted lamb with Greek herbs and potatoes), Horiatiki (country Greek salad with the works) or the share-plate of champions: the Cold Pikilia. Here, hummus meets Athenian delights like tzatziki, taramosalata, skordalia, and grape leaves. All with pita bread and fava beans.
