We had reservations with another couple on a VERY busy Friday night and were instantly delighted when our server asked if she could hang our coats for us!! Before we knew it, another server was at our table (we later discovered that he is her brother) and offered us much needed cocktails after a long work week. He made the best Manhattans (with Frangelico in them) we've ever had. Our server, Erin (sp?) made recommendations about the food and wine; and we put all our trust in her. Needless to say, she was dead on! From the succulent grilled calamari to the Greek wines and the grilled lamb, fish, we felt like we had been transported to Crete. Erin recommended a dessert that Eleni prepares herself, the Baklava....so worth it! All in all, from the service to the food to the atmosphere it was excellent. The only question we had was why the owner didn't seem as happy and as proud of the food and service? Aside from the yelling, this was the best restaurant we've been to in Portland.
Pros: food, service, wine selection, lighting and FOOD
