This
is the last place I "dined out." Don't know that I
should call it dining out, as the atmosphere is
casual, bus your own table, almost "fast food" kind
of place, but the quality of the food is amazing,
and the decor is just beautiful. Soft earthy tones,
a touch of Greek gold, ceiling painted with clouds,
lots of windows for people-watching. Simple but
interesting tables, nice open atmosphere, plenty of
seating, and very friendly service (the owner is
usually running the register).
Per
dad's advice, I've gotten the same thing every time
I've been there. The Vegetarian Combo, which, for
$5.50, is really hard to beat for the quality of
food. A fresh Greek salad - dressing on the side -
with big chunks of feta (easy on the onions,
though!!), warm pita bread, 2 small rice-stuffed
grape leaves which are unique in such a casual
place and I can never keep from eating first.
Finally, a slice of what is possibly the spinach
pie I've ever had!! Flaky but tender filo dough
crust that you can cut with a fork, filled with the
most perfect blend of spinach and feta!! If I
had my way (I never do), I'd have less salad and
more of the other stuff, but... :-) I took my dad
to the Apollo one night when we were heading to the
symphony but running out of time for a "good"
dinner. I said "I know just the place!" We got in,
were served very quickly (dad had a HUGE slab of
lamb that he was very impressed and overwhelmed
with, for a minimal price). We were able to eat
somewhat leisurely and made it to the symphony with
plenty of time.
