A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Tried this Mediterranean to go place for lunch (there is one in Penn station and one slightly outside. This one is outside).
Got the Naya bowl (basically a bowl you can customize what you want). What I put in it was some lettuce, rice, half chicken, half beef, onion, tomatoes, feta, and a sauce that was almost like tiziki sauce).
I thought it was pretty good. Kinda wish the rice was the yellow rice. It tasted more cocunutty, but still was ok.
We twenty to this place for dinner because Jason Atherton (head chef of this restaurant) is a Michelin star chef.
This restaurant is in a resort in what we called the “rich” part of Mykonos. You NEED a reservation to get into the resort (it’s guarded by a gate).
For drinks, we got a white wine from Santorini. Also got something called The Avenger (which had a mix of Monkey Shoulder whisky, and some tomato sauce. Almost feel it was derived from a Caesar, but it’s not spicey.
For appetizers, we got a salmon dish, a ham dish, a dish with feta and vegetables in bread, and sea bass with pesto. All great and would get them again.
For the main, we got a medium cooked tomahawk steak, penne with pesto, a Greek salad, and some sort of fish dish. All were great.
For desert, got a white chocolate cake thing. It’s good in small doses (wouldn’t get one for myself).
Found this place on the internet, which claimed it is one of the 10 best restaurants in Calgary. I would have to agree.
I sat at the bar, and the hostess did inform me usually things are family style, but they could do half portions for some dishes for people who come alone.
For a drink, I got the ___ Apple. It was quite refreshing, and not super sweet.
For a starter, I got what the waitress recommended, which was the tomatoes with whipped feta and sour dough bread (basically you mix the feta and tomatoes together to form a spread, as pictured below). It was quite tasted.
For my main, I also got what the waitress recommended, which was the chicken (half portioned). I gotta say it was cooked perfectly (not too dry, and the skin was the right amount of crispy).
Also, the ambiance and setting of the restaurant reminded me of a very modern, hipster, it classy vibe. Something you would definitely see in SF.
