This Greek restaurant (named after a village on the ilse of Lesbos) manages to be upscale and completely low-key at the same time. The food is deftly prepared-standard Greek dishes like lamb chops and grilled octopus are updated and given the royal treatment. The fish is always extremely fresh, and can be ordered simply grilled or in a number of other styles. The staff is warm and professional, and there is a good, affordable wine list. Photographs of owner John Livanos' homeland and family adorn the walls, and Grecian pottery is placed throughout the room.
