I brought a bottle of champagne. Their corkage is $15.00. For that you get the chilled champagne glasses but no bucket to keep your champagne cold...oh well. We got there before 6:00 pm so the place was fairly empty. We started with a nice bread with a Greek dipping sauce. It had lots of garlic and I didn't want to scare of the vampires so I opted for good old cholesterol, butter.
They had a special salad for the evening. It was Agugula with Peaches. We shared this big salad and found it to be quite refreshing and delicious. It was perfect on this summer evening with our Rose champagne.
Sandi and I decided to split a Moussaka, a classic Greek dish which is layers of eggplant, ground beef, tomatoes and their very own bechamel sauce. The other dish we were to split was the Lamb Pizza which is slow cooked lamb with roasted peppers, broccolini, olives, Kefalotiri and Feta cheese. Both these dishes we have had previously and loved them.
Piero ordered the Kokkinisto; boneless beef short ribs with tomato, allspice broth served over mashed potatoes and topped with Kefalotiri cheese. I was happy he ordered something different so I could try it. He was very happy with his choice and so was I. He too enjoyed the Lamb Pizza and the Moussaka.
We were all full. In fact Sandi could not finish her portion on account of eating bread. Next time, we will just have to make sure the basket of bread is beyond her reach. We still ordered the dessert we loved and that was Bougatsa; vanilla bean semolina custard wrapped in phyllo with vanilla ice cream. Though it was good, we seemed to not enjoy is as much as we did for no particular reason. We will have to venture on different desserts the next time. There will be a next time because their food is really good. I also noticed that they have another Petro's in El Segundo so we will have to see how the ambiance is there.
