If your thoughts of Greek dining include vignettes of “Zorba the Greek” or “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” you’ll be surprised by the tony interior and service at this downtown Greek restaurant. Suited staff present wines and show off the seafood display. Cast aside the idea of rustic Greek cuisine: this is luxe Greek fare. The accomplished cooking takes in immense lobsters, and the chef’s roast chicken infused with feta, almost-boneless and almost fork-tender. Desserts are a must, but chances are the Greek yogurt with honey will best the galaktoboureko. If you enjoy wines with your meal, here’s a great chance to sample a variety of Greek vintages; ask the waiter for some suggestions.
