Something roasting for dinner


super delicious, if you are looking for authentic greek food in san francisco this is your place. the lunch menu is pretty much SIMILAR to the dinner menu with just a few less main course options. But as we shared all the dishes there were plenty to choose from. and when on the coast you have to try to enjoy as much seafood and fish, so we tried to order a little of everything. I do not think you can make a wrong choice for dishes, they will all be good. however our favorites had to be the fried smelts and Saghanaki. another highly recommend if you are looking for a good restaurant in san francisco with great food, nice ATMOSPHERE and amazing service.
