A few years ago a Greek restaurant opened up on a street I often walk on, and some friends mentioned that it was really good. I'd been wanting to try it but at the time I didn't have much time to go out to lunch or dinner, and so it was on my mind to get there when I could. Then life as we know it changed, and the places where I might usually go I wasn't going to for a long while. Little by little as things started to open up again I began to revisit old friends and favorite places and sometimes try something new, but somehow this restaurant was still on my wish list when a friend asked me if I knew a good place to have lunch.
Greek Town is one of those places where when you first walk in the door you wonder why it took you so long to get there. It's charming and the people who work there are helpful and pleasant and friendly, and the menu has all kinds of wonderful things on it that really are more than just good. Everything is made fresh, and it has the feeling of being very homemade and made with the care of people who want every experience in their restaurant to be a memorably pleasurable one.
The first time I went there I ordered a traditional Greek sausage that I'd never heard of before called Loukaniko along with a Greek Salad, and when the sausage arrived it was delicious and so beautifully presented, and more than enough for two people to share. Luckily for me the friend I was with is a vegetarian, and so I was able to enjoy it all to myself along with the salad which was one of the best Greek Salads I've ever had. Each selection in it down to the lettuce was so fresh and flavorful. I'd added falafel to it as one of the add on options, and it was made so well that just writing about it now makes me want to return and have more.
Places like Greek town are so wonderful to discover, especially when they are this kind of light and airy and pleasant places to be. I'll definitely be recommending it and visiting more often, and being so grateful that they have created such a gift of this lovely restaurant to enjoy.
