"i know i'm hitting my stride here now, having found this restaurant. most anyone this side of preschool can find a good, not to say great, tacqueria when it's needed. but i've reached the end of the line with mexican food for awhile. what i was desperately in need of was fresh salad, specifically a greek village salad. this isn't as easy to come by as it might seem out here in suburbia east of pasadena. in fact where i'm from it's impossible to come up with a real greek salad without crossing a fairly large bridge. plenty of italian, not the best either, but no greeks will have us. (PLEASE somebody who knows how move up north, we need you). i happened to mention this to a youngish woman in a grocery store and sure enough this place came with her highest recommendation. fortunately she seemed to me to be someone likely to know. so the salad was simply made as it should be, and generously sized almost for a complete dinner. to supplement we had stuffed cabbage rolls which were really well flavored, and came with veggies cooked just so. as we were leaving the waitperson (is that really necessarily the best way to describe her? no) recommended a great italian place nearby. my next outing will be there. just like doctors, you only need to find one good one to find the rest you might need. it's not corfu here of course, but I'll be back soon."
