Warmth as soon as you walk in. Nothing like it in Astoria in terms of decor. Fiber-optic bar, facing the street through a roll up garage window that the owners say will be open as bar seating as well during warm weather.\r
Food was amazing! Their specialty is meats but I had the best Red Snapper ever, AND they deboned it right at our table! The ""kafteri"" spread (sauteed spicy green peppers, feta and olive oil) was a perfect starter especially with the seasoned pita they provided.\r
Customers beside me had some beef-lamb donners/skewers which were describes as the best outside of Athens Monastery. They were called something Monastariki. Whatever! They smelled great and I'm definitely going back for them. \r
Definitely a place to hang out even after the meal. Cool R&Bish, world music w/ great cocktails at the crazy lit up bar.
Pros: a few blocks from the N/W lines.
Cons: Forgot my lemon wedges, but completely made up for it with a great free desert (FOR EVERYONE!)
