The food here was delicious, some plates were a lot better than others. My favorite of the night was the goat cheese stuffed roasted peppers. My second favorite was the lamb giouvetsi. I'll most certainly go here again.

Baba Ghanoush (left) and Tzatziki (right)

Menu Description:
Baba Ghanoush A classic puree of eggplant, tahini & garlic, blended with lemon juice & imported olive oil 6.95

:The baba ghanoush was good. Though I liked the tzatziki better, just as a personal preference.

Menu Description:
Tzatziki (Cacik) with Silifke Style-Yogurt Farm stead yogurt mixed with roasted garlic, cucumber, dill & imported extra virgin olive oil 5.95

:Reiterating my comment above, I liked the tzatziki better than the baba ghanoush. However, I could easily imagine many people preferring the baba ghanoush over the tzatziki.

Asparagus

Menu Description:
Asparagus Fresh grilled asparagus topped with brown bread crumbs & lemon juice 6.95

:This was a plain and simple plate of asparagus. I prefer stir-fried asparagus to this plate of grilled asparagus. Overall, solid dish, but not as mouth-watering as any of the other dishes we got.

Goat Cheese Stuffed Roasted Peppers

Menu Description:
Goat Cheese Stuffed Roasted Peppers With a blend of mushrooms & herbs 6.95

:I loved how this just melted in my mouth. Thinking of it makes my mouth water as I write about it. In any case, there are various recipes floating around on the internet and I think it would take some experimenting to improve on any of the current recipes online, but it would be worth perfecting.

Lamb Giouvetsi (left and bottom)

Menu Description:
Lamb Giouvetsi Pulled lamb over orzo cooked in a tomato sauce 11.95

:While I didn't know how to pronounce giouvetsi, I'm glad I ordered it. The taste isn't too different from pulled pork. As I mentioned in the introduction, this is my second favorite plate. Apparently it is also known as youvetsi.

Steamed Mussels

Menu Description:
Steamed Mussels In white wine, tarragon, & shallots cream sauce 9.95

:I liked the sauce these mussels were prepared in. It was our only seafood item for the evening.
