5 /5 E. Lisa (Peachy in Georgia): We have eaten dinner here twice. Greek Tavern has a modern and romantic ambiance, perfect for a date. The staff have always been enthusiastic and kind, the food is delicious and the portions are plentiful. They have a great dessert and coffee selection, but as of now there is no alcohol on the menu. For busy weekend times, you can make a reservation and guarantee you don’t have to wait for a table!
First off, let’s talk tzatziki. This creamy yogurt, dill and cucumber dip is high on my list of favorite condiments! You can put it on everything from the fresh pita to potatoes and meats- and trust me you’ll want to!
For appetizers, we’ve loved the Greek meatballs and the baked honey feta is amazing – the tartness and sweetness go together so well and who doesn’t love puff pastry? I have to ask though, stuffed grape leaves? I absolutely love them, and I’m so sad that they are not on this menu! Everything is so good – I’m sure they would be amazing.
For the most bang for your buck, get the three skewer platter. It’s a huge portion of meats including steak, chicken and pork plus a hefty pile of gyro meat. You also get warm soft pita bread, some lemon butter potatoes and a salad! Honestly, if you get the platter and an appetizer it’s enough to feed two people, or, for one, you’ll have delicious leftovers for lunch the next day!
The moussaka was awesome – the meat is well seasoned and the béchamel sauce is creamy perfection. I also had the lamb and orzo. The orzo in a tomato sauce is perfectly cooked, tender and delicious and the lamb shank was so good I wanted to pick it up and eat it with my fingers! (Honestly, I took it home as a leftover and did just that! )
Something I love about Greek food is the inclusion of cinnamon in savory dishes and they use just the right amount of all sorts of spices to infuse their meals with delicious flavor.
Again, the staff have always been so welcoming and accommodating. I ordered a hazelnut matcha after my dinner last time and, when I wanted it a little sweeter the barista was so kind to just add an extra pump of syrup to make it exactly what I was looking for.
I think this is a perfect date night location, or a great place for a celebratory meal. If you bring your children they won’t be uncomfortable here, but there’s plenty of room for family tables as well as more intimate dining experiences.
