We had a great dining experience at Kalamata. The two of us shared hummus, the mixed grill plate, custard, and Turkish tea. Everything was excellent and the portions were more than generous. The hummus was creamy and full of flavor and the pita was soft and fresh. The meat in our mixed grill was very good. I really liked the gyro meat with tzaziki and the lamb chop while my partner loved the chicken. The rice was fluffy and slightly sweet. Be sure to ask for some hot sauce, it had a pleasant heat and a great vinegar-y tang. The custard was beyond excellent - light, creamy, and topped with crushed pistachios. We finished with the Turkish tea that was flavorful and tasty with a little honey added. The atmosphere was nice, cool, and well decorated. We ate inside due to the heat outside and we're glad we did. The sidewalk dining looked great but there was a lot of foot traffic and some diners with an ill-behaved dog. We arrived at 5:30 and we're the only ones inside although the outdoor dining was busier. Shortly before leaving, a party of 10+ arrived to dine inside. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will be dining here again.

Dining at Casa Mariano was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. The menu is thoughtfully curated, offering a perfect balance of creativity and tradition. Every dish we tried was outstanding — beautifully presented and full of flavor. The ingredients were clearly fresh and of the highest quality. I especially recommend the [insert your favorite dish], which was a standout. The wine list is also impressive and pairs wonderfully with the food. The staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. It’s rare to find a place that combines exceptional cuisine, ambiance, and service so seamlessly.
