Time For Mediterranean Delights!

With 2012 comes the execution of our weekly theme dishes for our dinner service.

The first Thursday of any given month will always be Italian, and you can always expect hand-made pastas and sauces and brilliantly prepared, authentic Italian cuisine. Following Italian, we have Mexican, Mediterranean and Indian.
In those special months with 5 Thursdays....well, we don't want to spoil the surprise!
Mediterranean cuisine is characterized by its flexibility with a range of ingredients, its many regional variations and the wide use of olive oil, garlic, fish and vegetables in its cuisine.

This week for our feature menu we will introduce a few new menu items that exhibit what an authentic old world Mediterranean dish should look and taste like. Here is our Mediterranean menu for this Thursday and Friday evening. Don’t forget though that we always have our regular menu available.

Enjoy your meal…Καλή όρεξη
