• Greek • Radnor

Booked 53 times today

The stunning restaurant, which is the first of its kind in Radnor, will transport guests to the Greek Islands with an atmosphere reminiscent of an inviting Mediterranean home, and a menu of authentic specialties, simply prepared, that represent the best of Greek cuisine. The restaurant specializes in whole grilled fish, which are flown in from the Greek islands, the shores of Morocco, Tunisia and Portugal, and procured from independent North American fishermen. We have created a welcoming restaurant designed with the comforts of a typical Greek home. We used materials such as hand-chiseled Jerusalem limestone floors, hand woven rugs, vaulted ceilings, antiqued stucco walls, wood plank floors and exposed wood beams to evoke the traditional atmosphere. A series of dining areas feature rustic farm tables, dark wood chairs with beige cushions and dining nooks with upholstered banquettes. The homelike ambiance is accentuated with whitewashed walls.

We had the calamari, the duo, mussels, a whole fish dish and the octopus. The octopus and the duo were my favorite. The whole fish in a caper sauce was cooked well, but the rice accompaniment was nothing to write home about. We ordered the side of fried potatoes; be advised, it doesn't come with any dipping sauce so we used the sauce from the mussels dish. The sauce the mussels were in was very tasty. The calamari was a little lackluster. The cheesecake dessert was fluffy and light; a good ending to a nice meal. It took some time to have our server return to take our order, but after receiving her personalized attention, one can see why.

Thank you to our server Ella for taking such great care of our group dinner. My sorority sisters and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals, drinks and the service as we celebrated 34 years. The truffle fries were popular. The mushroom soup was delicious. We appreciated the extra care shown with our special dessert. The candles and ice cream were a nice touch. Looking forward to dining again in the future.
