The Scene
Mediterranean colors of coral and blue, white stucco walls and pale stone floors set the mood at this casual Greektown restaurant. Four large dining rooms are filled to capacity throughout the week, with servers running from pillar to post to keep up with brisk business. Dine with a big group--they'll make appropriate accommodations. Scream ''Opa!'' and nobody minds.
The Food
Cheese is flaming everywhere you look. A recommended starter, aside from the traditional saganaki, is the taramasalata--a thick, creamy spread of fish roe, breadcrumbs, lemon juice and seasonings served with French bread. Fried calamari is lightly floured, served with a side of tangy cocktail sauce. Traditional Greek entrees abound, like the chicken riganati--a flavorful baked chicken in lemon, olive oil and herbs, served in pieces. Choose from many lamb options, like the braised lamb with egg-lemon sauce and artichokes, which is falling-off-the-bone tender and tasty.
