The interior of this classy restaurant won't recall homey tavernas just steps from the Acropolis. But its menu will satisfy your craving for good Greek taverna food -- albeit at steak house prices. Most savvy diners start off with a trio of dips -- eggplant, yogurt, and cucumber, and taramasalata, fish roe pureed with olive oil and bread crumbs. Main courses comprise Athenian standards such as moussaka, braised lamb shank, and grilled sea bass. A bar menu of small plates -- crispy smelt fish, pita with olives and cheese, grilled octopus -- satisfies afternoon customers. Desserts like semolina custard wrapped in phyllo, and yogurt with walnuts and honey, make for a light, sweet finish.
