Mykonos Greek Restaurant

Honestly, the best Greek food I have ever had! The lamb is to die for! more

This is my very first review on CitySearch, inspired by this truly great little restaurant. Honestly, its so hard to find good Greek food anywhere, that I wasn't expecting much. The interior was a little bit cheesy, but someone put a lot of effort into it. The service was fantastic! It was honestly the friendliest service I've had in a long time anywhere. I ordered the Lamb Shoulder with the Greek Salad. I was in Greece for 3 weeks in April, and I have to tell you that my meal was VERY authentic! The Greek Salad was traditional w/no lettuce and no heavy dressing, just a lot of good herbs, feta, and light olive oil & maybe some lemon or vinegar. The lamb was superb!! It was so perfectly done...I was right back in Greece with every bite!! The spices and marinade were subtle, just enough to compliment the natural flavor of the lamb. The meat was lean and cooked until I could cut it with a fork, but incredibly moist at the same time. The pita was not the kind we're used to iin America, which leads me to believe its probably homemade. And the Tzatziki was so garlic-y as to burn my mo9uth just slightly...yumm! The Nemea wine I had had before at another Greek place in Seattle. Its always a good bold bet for a Greek red. I'm sure their desserts are yummy too, but I honestly didn't have any room after that huge lamb shoulder which I ate every last bite of!! Pros: Fabulous Food, VERY Friendly Service, price is very fair Cons: interior a little cheesy more

What can I say...the service was great...the food was out of this world...the best Avgalemeno soup I have ever had. What a great restaurant to have in such a small community. Also you can buy their Greek dressing as they have taken the opportunity to bottle it and sale it. THIS IS A MUST if you are a Greek food fan! Pros: Avgalemeno Soup Cons: They only had one bottle of dressing left to sell more

Mykonos is just off I-5 at the Bellingham Airport exit. Their dining area features classic Greek columns, while the bar area is relaxed and welcoming. They feature a full range of Greek dishes, my favorite being the ""Arni Psito"" with New Zealand lamb and roast potatoes - washed down with a good ale and you still get change out of a $20 bill. Pros: Inexpensive, Friendly, Good food Cons: Hard to find more
