| Mediterranean tastes from the countries that ring the sea grace the menu at this lively neighborhood spot. All business for lunch, the restaurant turns dreamily romantic at dinner. Perhaps no establishment in the city cooks lamb as well as this kitchen does. In the gyro, a grilled tenderloin is sliced onto warm pita and there’s a lamb burger, but the salmon burger has been a signature dish since the restaurant’s opening. Half orders of pasta dishes enhance the restaurant’s flexibility. We suggest the coconut cream pie for dessert. A private dining space has become a tapas lounge, where you’ll find small dishes of savory morsels such as jamón serrano or chorizo sizzling in olive oil and sherry vinegar or gambas al ajillo, a trio of headless shrimp in garlic sauce. Bread comes grilled, enhancing its crusty flavor. The wine list includes perhaps the largest selection of Zinfandels in town, including five Turley options. Good by-the-glass choices allow one even to savor a chilled dry sherry before dinner, but you’ll have to look for it on the dessert wine list. |
