Getting there

A word from Kellari Taverna

"The dining experience should be sharing appetizers so that everybody can get to taste different flavors and textures " Chef Gregory Zapantis. "Many people ask me if this is Greek Cuisine , and I don’t know what to compare it to, either to Greek cuisine of 1962 or 2009, but my answer is a… seafood restaurant with a Greek Flare to it " Chef Gregory Zapantis. "Our Menu of Simply Grilled fish but simplicity with elegance ! " Chef Gregory Zapantis. "we are bringing to the people of Washington Something they haven’t experienced before " Chef Anthony Acinapura. Kellari Taverna is very sensitive to sustainable seafood. Continued

"My daughter & I did not fully explore all this restaurant had to offer, as we were only needing a "light" dinner. But what we had was lovely. Nice dips, bread & olives on the table when ordering - very generous. We had tatziki (excellent), greek salads (very good but TRADITIONAL greek salads with no lettuce) and grilled shrimp (4 large shrimp excellently cooked). We ended with tea which came accompanied by a plate of home made greek cookies - something I love about european restaurants that you never see in the US! We even were given a small bag of cookies when we left as a little treat for later - it looks like all guests received these. I think a full meal would likely be lovely but expensive $25 - $30 for main dish. I would return!"

"Great service--personable waiter and attentive staff. No one rushed us. Food was good but there should be more individual rather than whole by-the-pound fresh fish choices."
