Three generations of a family work at this romantic homestyle restaurant that's decorated with wood beams, lacy white tablecloths, twinkling candles and chandeliers. Traditional Greek dishes – such as fava beans with smoked eel, and slow oven-baked lamb kleftiko – are superbly prepared and presented. A nice touch is the welcoming amuse bouche of a small cup of soup.
