Ariadne Description:
Contemporary Mediterranean and New American bistro in Newtonville. The bar and lounge serves a light menu of appetizers and sandwiches, which are available for takeout, in addition to the main menu.
The listed hours are for the restaurant. The bar and lounge is open later.
This small off-the-beaten track spot offers diners a diverse selection of Mediterranean and Asian-influenced dishes. The dining room has vaulted ceilings and is decorated with warm tones of yellow and orange to create a chic, yet comfortable environment. Big leather booths and private tables are scattered throughout the restaurant alongside burnt-orange drapes. A separate bar is clearly a draw for locals, especially when owner-chef Christos Tsardounis is working behind it. You can choose from the "Neighborhood" menu, a reasonably priced selection of dishes, or a changing seasonal menu. Grilled sardines with an arugula and tabbouleh salad is a good starter; follow with the seafood paella, chock-full of saffron fish, chorizo and mussels---quite flavorful without being too spicy. Service in the dining room is a mixed bag, sometimes very attentive, sometimes less than stellar. A monthly Greek night, with dancing and dinner specials, is quite popular.
