I thought the days long past when the adventure of finding good food and a welcoming affordable place for families to gather could be had. Then I and my family wandered to Austin Street in Forest Hills, Queens, and discovered the CORFU GRILL where George Aspiotis knows how to serve delicious and nourishing Greek foods without the pretense and expense of white linen service. Our family tries to gather on Sundays because it seems the only time we can escape soccer games, swim meets, and weekly food shops and sit across the table to enjoy the pleasure of good food and family. Having enjoyed some weeks on Corfu, when I saw the sign, CORFU GRILL, above the balconied restaurant at 70-17 Austin Blvd., with its sailing ship and geometric waves, , I knew we had to try it. So we climbed to the balcony overlooking the parade of people that is Austin Street.
