Taste the bold, bright flavors of Hellenic cuisine at Dio Deka in the lovely Mediterranean-inspired Hotel Los Gatos. The menu, which features seasonal ingredients and creative flair, is now overseen by executive chef Marty Cattaneo. Start with crispy phyllo filled with spinach, scallions, leeks and Greek cheeses. Grape leaves stuffed with wine-braised beef short ribs and creamed rice are a cure for the common dolma, finished tableside with truffled wild mushroom citrus foam. We also like the classic egg and lemon soup, a lip-puckering fumet dotted with Maine lobster. Don't miss the house special---rib-cut lamb chops traditionally seasoned and mesquite grilled to medium rare. Moussaka, a casserole layered with crunchy zucchini, eggplant and potato with a rich béchamel sauce crust, is dressed up with tender braised beef cheeks. Tart, creamy homemade Greek yogurt served with wild thyme-scented honey, toasted Macadamia nuts and fresh fruit is a must for dessert. The expansive wine list includes selections from Greece, Italy and Spain, rare French varietals, and California cult Cabs like a 2003 Silver Oak (there are also more than two dozen wines by the glass). The large dining room features an exhibition kitchen; rustic honey-hued wood floors; contemporary wrought iron chandeliers and sconces; and dark wood columns throughout. The confident, competent waitstaff happily shares their knowledge of the exotic menu.
