MY BIG FAT GREEK RESTAURANT

This was the restaurant at Broadway and Kolb which we hadn't eaten at before. I had a coupon celebrating their one year anniversary. We went there after a hike on a friday and were prepared to walk over to In n' out Burger if they were jammed with weekend party-ers. but we got a lovely table off in the corner and the service by Tovah was excellent and the food was delivered fast.

We ordered a spinach salad with candied walnuts, feta cheese and cranberries with raspberry viniagrette. It was a rabbit's paradise; sky high greens. excellent taste except there was too much dressing so by the time we got to the bottom of the salad - the viniagrette (which had a lovely spicy aftertaste - cayenne pepper?) was way too much; made me pucker.

And then we also shared stuffed bell peppers. We got 2 of them and they were overflowing with the meat/rice combo. They were topped with a bechamel sauce and were accompanied by roasted potatoes and vegetables. That dish was perfectly prepared and seasoned.

The restaurant is not very big and a lot of the tables are right in the middle of the room and close together; only a few booths. It seemed whenever someone ordered a flaming appetizer or a dessert or it was a special occasion (so we're talking about every 10 minutes) all the servers would dance around the tables in a line and there was lots of hand clapping and shooting flames and god help me if i heard it one more time - shouts of OPA!
