This place is a little fancier than some others on the list, but still very casual. The interior serves up a very warm and comfy vibe, while the kitchen serves unique small plates and yummy cocktails.

The owner, Vicky, is behind the counter cooking and serving any time this place is open. The pork soulvaki and the potata salad are our favorites, but we have never had anything that we didn't love here. It's also BYOB.
