Restaurant description: Newly remodeled building (circa 1920) with a modern, albeit retro look and feel. Located in Northeast Mpls. This restaurant is Greek/Mediterranean and serves mainly organic, natural food.

The meal: We started with a bruschetta appetizer. Jenny had Greek lasagna with beef, cheese and noodles. She also enjoyed a salad with feta cheese and authentic Greek dressing. Beth and Terri shared a fish dish, that came with noodles and a Greek salad. Terri sipped on white wine. For dessert, Beth had bachlava and an espresso shot (Greek style!), Jen ate organic Greek ice cream, and TJ had chocolate cake.

Memorable moment of the evening: Our hot waiter (approximate age: 25 years old...a little young, but whatever) remarked "Find a babysitter!" to us under his breath, as the couple next to us had a young, screaming child.
