4 of us for dinner; all looking forward to a healthy Mediterranean meal. Greeter made a point about us having to leave by 9:45 cos they had another booking right after us. Seated us at the inner hall (not visible from the entrance)Lighting was quite dark, made me sleepy. Friendly server recommended his favorite bottle of Greek white wine (being 50% Assyrtiko, 50% Malvasia; $668). Not bad.Started off with 2 servings of pita bread plus 3 dips: being taramasalata (with preserved mullet roe 烏魚子)Humm

Then came the Greek salad. Vegetables tasted fresh.

Warm appetizers were next, being the
Saganaki platanos- sheep/goat cheese lightly floured and pan seared. Melted and crispy, went well with the apricot sauce. Normally not a fan of sheep/goat cheese, but this was ok.

Spanakopita- feta and spinach pie in fill pastry. Friendly server let us take a photo then offered to cut into 4 pieces for us. I liked. Pastry was crispy and not oily.

We were surprised that there was no fish on the menu (other than anchovies); so decided to go for the Prawn saganaki. Friendly server commented that it was a smart choice. He put the dish in front of us and told us to lean back and get our cameras ready.

Another server came, poured some liquid over the prawns and ～～～whooosh～～ the flame was so high I feared for his eyebrows. Turned out the liquid was ouzo, dry anise-flavoured aperitif. It was my favorite dish of the night, with 2 big prawns. Sauce was so yummy.

Most underwhelming dish of the night gotta be the Horta- vegetables with a Japanese egg on top. Egg yolk was a very light yellow color, the vegetables tasted like 菜乾, bitter and dry.

Lamb chops were also a let down. A bit too burnt and too fatty for my liking.

Friendly server attempted to send us off with some ouzo shots; sorry too much for me.
When we left (at 9:45 as instructed) we saw many empty tables of 4 eagerly waiting around for their guests to arrive.
In summary, worth a try. Must order the prawns.
