    If you’re up for a night on the town….Yanni’s Lakeside Cafe on Greenwood is, hands down, THE best Greek Food in Seattle! Yum!

    actually, Pano’s Kleftiko on Lower Queen Anne is by far the best Greek in town..but that’s another story.

    Haven’t been to Ephesus in a few years. Tried it twice when I first moved to WS, and everything was so smothered in Garlic, I couldn’t taste anything else for days. Hope that’s changed.

    AND..for me..the best ‘mediteranian’ in WS is Phoenica on Alki. A tad spendy, but Hussein is a masterful chef, and never fails to deliver an amazing meal.

    Mmm, love Phoenecia. Yum.

    I will try Pano’s Kleftiko since you recommend it so highly. I am always keen for more Greek food!

    I don’t find Ephesus overly garlicky, but on the other hand I love the stuff, so that might not be a good comparison!

    We LOVE this place! I do recommend that you make a reservation on FRI/SAT and if you have a large group. They have a patio open during the summer though – so that should open up some more seats. Awesome food! I personally love the mushroom appetizer and any of the Kabobs for dinner!

    My husband and I love Costas Opa in Fremont and would eat there on a fairly regular basis when we lived in Ballard, years ago. I especially enjoy their baked feta appetizer, avgolemono (soup with eggs, rice, chicken stock and lemon juice), and moussaka.

    I’ve yet to try Ephesus, but have driven by a number of times and would really like to after reading the glowing recommendations, above.

    Phoenicia is one of those places that has always looked abandoned to me, but perhaps they just keep odd hours. I have been by and seen a few tables filled and read the amazing reviews it gets, so they must be doing something right. Guess it’s another to add to the ever-growing list of places to try!

    Panos is incredible but they serve more traditional greek, where Ephesus has more of a Turkish/Mediterranean influence. I love them both but they are very different styles of cuisine.
