About the restaurant

Chef Eugenia Hobson and her team prepare authentic Greek dishes served attentively in an easy-going, informal setting. Our signature dishes include the grilled octopus, the kolokithokeftedes (stuffed zucchini fritters), the lavraki whole fish (branzino) filleted table side, and the arni giouvetsi (lamb shank with orzo). Our selection of nine desserts are all made fresh daily in-house and feature Greek classics such as the baklava and the galaktoboureko. Our wine list is meticulously curated on a seasonal basis by son Philip Hobson, selecting from Greece's top vineyards who produce indigenous varietals such as Assyrtiko & Xinomavro, and western grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon & Sauvignon Blanc. Our beer selection focuses on bottled Greek brews while our bar is fully stocked to serve both classic cocktails and signature drinks inspired by the best bars in Athens. We are located in the Seneca shopping square, next to Orange Theory.

Tysons Corner / McLean

About the restaurant

A fine-dining Mediterranean restaurant that couples the freshness of traditional Greek cuisine with a modern white-washed atmosphere. The walls are adorned with old black and white photos of Greece, a nod to our namesake, which is the origin of “nostalgia.” Our healthy menu has guaranteed returning customers and consists of daily fresh fish, popular lamb dishes, and several vegetarian selections. The Aegean-inspired airy ambiance makes Nostos a romantic choice for a date night; while our private room options make it ideal for special parties or corporate events.

My only complaint is that the lamb (mini burger) has a verrrrrry hot topping on it. It was wayyyyyy too hot...and was difficult to remove it if you wanted to take it off. Other than that everything was great!!

Was chosen due to someone in our party is pescatarian. Lots of food choices for all of us. The food was delicious-got the dip sampler which was fantastic though definitely not enough pita bread for it so had to ask for another 1 1/2 baskets. Lots of shareable dishes which was great to try different things.

I love having dinner with friends in a bright and comfortable space, and this was certainly it. Painted white and well lit--with throw pillows on the bench seats--this was a great place to visit with my friends and enjoy a wonderful dinner. With a page and a half of appetizers--vegetarian, seafood, cheese--we had a great time sharing what was essentially small plates. Everything was delicious.

North Bethesda

About the restaurant

The name Melina is rooted in Greek origin and derives from the Greek word for "honey". "Mel" can be derived from the name Melissa meaning "honey-bee". The restaurant is named after the daughter of Co-Founder Chef Dimitri Moshovitis. “Melina” will honor the strength of the matriarchy in the Greek family. It will lean vegetable-forward with modernized Greek classics from the sea and grilled meats. Greek cuisine is all about freshness and quality of ingredients and that will be on display in a fine casual setting.
