Paros Estiatorio

Let me just say that this was probably one of my favorite restaurants I've ever been too on my birthday. Starting with the octopus (Oktapadi)and lamb (Arnisia Plevrakia)appetizers, I was already in love. And when I finally got my main course with Lamb chops and fries(Arnisia Paidakia), I was in heaven. I don't even like fries and we ate them all! My wife had the Halibut and it was also perfect with crunchy skin. The chefs were cool enough to make us our own little "Spicy" sauce that we used on everything. I hope they remember it for next time! I had no idea what the Olive Oil Cake would be like but I am SO glad I tried that, im pretty sure I'm addicted now. Plus Ryan, our server, who was such an awesome guy and took really good care of us, brought me a little surprise ice cream for my birthday. I almost forgot my wife tried the Med and Persephone's Dream which she loved and I had a virgin Greek Mojito. I could not have been happier. So many new and delightful tastes, I seriously cannot wait to go back!

Had the ambrosia cocktail and expresso martini. Both delicious. The grilled octopus and Greek salad were perfect. The halibut was uneventful and bland. The roasted chicken was good and the steak was pretty good too. Overall, very nice place. Need to rethink the fish options next time.

I absolutely loved this place! I'm always happy when I find fantastic food in the Midwest. The cocktails were unique and very good. The grilled vegetable platter had some extra magic and tasted better than any grilled veggies I've made, or had at any other restaurant. The lamb shank was delicious as one would expect. The whole snapper, Fagri, was tender and flavorful. We ended the meal with the best baklava I've ever tasted. We've never tried olive oil cake, so we had to add that to the evening. This was great and the presentation was amazing.

Our first time at Paros was magical! Julia gave us insights into the extensive and impressive Mediterranean menu, which includes flavorful entrees from land and sea, as well as handcrafted desserts. We enjoyed every minute and every morsel in this gorgeous space.

* Food: The food and appetizers were mediocre in my opinion. I ordered the saganki as my appetizer and personally I didn’t like it the cheese it was quite bitter for my taste. For my entree I ordered the Pastitsio and it looked very delicious, but I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. It had a strong nutmeg taste to it which I didn’t find appealing. I would recommend the Mykonos breeze for the cocktail. It was delicious and sweet. * Place/ Atmosphere: The restaurant is beautiful and well designed. It feels like you’re in a high end restaurant in Greece. * Service: Our waitress was very kind and well educated on the menu. She did a great job taking care of my friends and I.
