Alexander the Great

The restaurant, a pleasant room in yellow with well-set tables and an attractive bar at the back, boasts "authentic Greek cuisine." Who am I to argue, as this turned into an enjoyable evening with good food and quick, if not brusque, service.

Two kinds of olives immediately appear on the table as you contemplate the menu, which consists of hot and cold starters, a list of meat dishes, and a list of house specialties. We chose from the specialty list: kleftaki (slow-cooked lamb with herbs) and meat moussaka. Both choices more than lived up to our expectations and were served with a lightly oiled salad, rice, and potatoes.

The beer list had two Greek beers and Stell,a and the wine list tended to be Greek and fairly expensive in the £16 range and up. We chose the house wine, a white that was actually from Gascony and which complimented the meal very well.

Overall, as I said, it was a nice evening. The restaurant was fairly busy (it was Saturday), but having walked by the night before, I had little doubt that we would be able to get a walk in. They are doing a few things very well, and I would most certainly return when I felt the yen for Greek dining.
