I tried the tasting menu and it was delish!!!! The wine pairings were pretty good too, an excellent way to "meet" Greek wines. Compliments to the Chef and Staff, will definitely be back!
Very good varieties of sweets, from Greek to standard European. Cake called "nest" (φολιά) was delicious, filled with chocolate cream, whipped cream and fruits on top.
The correct name is "Odeion Herodou Attikou". Seriously. Herodium is a volcano-like hill near the city of Bethlehem where Herod the Great built a fortress and palace on the top.
