A Stylish Dining Experience

Signature Dishes Worth Savoring
Executive Chef John Skotidas, formerly of acclaimed Greek establishments Mazi and Suzi Tros, has created a menu that celebrates Greek culinary traditions while incorporating contemporary techniques and global influences.
The whole grilled sea bass with amarillo butter consistently receives high praise, perfectly cooked and deboned for easy enjoyment. The charred spiced lamb cutlets showcase the quality of specially imported Greek lamb, while the smoked aubergine spread with its crispy onion topping is a must-order starter alongside the restaurant's basket of fresh breads.
Other standout dishes include the crispy potato terrine topped with truffle custard and the loukoumades (Greek donuts) served with coffee dulce de leche for a sweet finish.
