Tanglewood​のベストギリシャ料理レストラン

I loved the staff and food, which were phenomenal. However, I wished the music was a bit quieter so I could talk over the table with guests. We could not hear each other or the waiter. The bread/Frena is a must-have. It's not just bread. It's amazing with the pistachio butter and all the other accouterments. The octopus is also a must-have but the butternut squash is beyond amazing. It's completely ala carte, so it will cost you for a complete meal. I have 2 critiques. The wine is so expensive. A glass of wine is the price of a bottle. I wish they had more affordable wine. The cocktails were cheaper than a glass of wine and the martinis are served in sherry glasses which are small. One last thing that is an issue for me is the cutlery. It's so thin and cheap. If I am going to order a 60-dollar steak, I want heavy cutlery with longer tines. The devil is in the details. P.S. the server ELON is the best!!

We love this special little place in Rice Village. Whenever we are in town we try to get a reservation because they are consistently good and have a nice twist to traditional Greek offerings. As many restaurants going through and surviving the pandemic, they have had to adjust their offerings and we think they have planned well. We dined on the most beautiful chicken at Helen’s on Christmas Eve that took me back to the Greek home-cooking I grew up eating. Their selection of Greek wines are always wonderful and the appetizer and salad last night were delish! One would expect that a restaurant could be a bit “off” on a holiday evening, but not this kitchen nor the staff. It was perfection from start to finish and we just wish they were in Austin instead of Houston!

Always a great experience! One of the favorites for sure!!
