Let the rhythmic bouzouki music transport you
to the Aegean Sea. The fragrant aromas of
garlic, lemon juice, oregano and olive oil will
keep you there, if for only the evening. The
menu is unmistakably Greek; the flavors of this
robust cuisine are sure to please. Our menu
kicks off with an assortment of mezzes including
garlic and oregano roasted lamb, spanikopita
and lemon herb squid. For a uniquely Grecian
comfort food we have mousaka, and of
course baklava for dessert.
Spaniards often refer to their country as “Las
Españas” or “The Spains” reflecting a diversity
of languages, regions and peoples. Spain’s
cuisine reflects its geographic position, dividing
Europe and Africa. We look to the south to kick
off our evening with a tapas selection of chili
seared prawns, croquetas with saffron aioli and
stuffed mushrooms with chorizo. Moving to the
rugged north Atlantic coastline our meal
continues with a pinenut crusted white fish fillet
garnished with salsa verde. We can thank the
Mediterranean province as Crema Catalana
rounds out the night in true Spanish style.
