The Greek Element
This is a restaurant you must visit. What anamazing adventure of flavor. All of their dishes were superb but as Greeks we have an element of ours here we must tell the world about.
Sour cherries in Greece are mostly for juice or as a spoon sweet but here they’re combined with olives and cucumbers that will give you a new appreciation of the visino. It's like an aristocratic village salad.

This is really good Sichuan food and serves some hard to find dishes like Lion Fish and Diced Rabbit.
This is good clean food with fresh ingredients and obviously Sichuan food from Chengdu which is sure to give you that variety you’ve been missing from the cuisine.
This small restaurant has an insane wait and had to extend its hours to accommodate everyone. Great job chef!
