We opted for the meze, as a way of gauging the mettle of the kitchen.
Starters: Olives, houmous, tzatziki, taramosalata, loukanika (sausage), lounza (slices of pork loin) and fried haloumi with pitta bread
Main: Keftedes (lamb meatballs), chicken kebab, kleftiko, stifado, Greek salad and rice
Desserts: Galaktoboureko, ice cream
Drinks: A pleasant house red for Lyn, Mythos beer for Paul and me.
Cost: £71.50 plus service
Nice decor - interesting paintings of beach scenes. Background music - very Greek but relaxing.
The starters, while standard meze fare, were good of their kind - and they all went. I enjoyed the marinated olives.
All the main courses were vert tasty, although Lyn found the cloves in the stifado overpowering. The kleftiko was a generous two lamb shanks of melt in the mouth meat every bit as good as Mr Roberts' lamb in Dolgellau. The Greek Salad was good and fresh. Paul & I enjoyed the galaktoboureko (long a favourite from our visits to Crete) and half of Lyn's ice ceam. The ice cream was smooth and tasty - just a bit too much for her after all that food.
The service started well; the waiter was helpful and friendly. But it became a bit lax later, leaving us waiting for 10+ minutes to orderour desserts and there was some trouble figuring out our bill.
Our rating: FOUR STARS
