Dinner was a mixture. My Keftedes Saltsa, three ground lamb and beef meatballs in a tomato sauce topped with yogurt was delicious. The other diners had the Avgolemono soup which they said was quite tasty. My entree, Beef Souvlaki, two skewers of marinated tenderloin, though a bit salty, was indeed tender, very flavorful, and cooked to a medium rare, as requested. The only disappointment was the Moussaka, a baked casserole of roasted eggplant, zucchini, potatoes and béchamel sauce with rice, and thus is a vegetarian version of the classical dish made with ground beef. Fine for vegetarians, but it was not memorable. Wish that they would make the traditional dish. Service was excellent. Corkage is $25.00.
