In Short
Loud and lively, Taverna Nikos serves casual Greek favorites in an authentic setting. Appetizers (or mezedes) are top-notch--the melitzanosalata (eggplant salad) is excellent. Other menu stars are the stifado (rabbit stew cooked slowly in port wine) and the braised lamb shank. On the lighter side, the village salad is fresh and flavorful. Adventuresome diners may want to sample the Retsina, a Greek wine flavored with pine resin.

I returned to Niko's after several years and was so disappointed. My friend and I had had many nice meals there before it closed. The gentleman who greeted us was gruff. I ordered the Mousaka, one of their specialities. The waitress came back and informed me that they were out if it. And, it was only 5:45. So, I ordered the marinaded chicken, only to be told me friend had ordered the last serving. I ordered the chicken stew. The chicken was tender, but was on the bone. We were seated in a dimmer part of the restaurant and I kept getting the bones as I could not see them given the lighting and the stew sauce. At one table, 2 different couples were seated, but left without ordering.

Taverna Nikos has always been a favorite. After closing for a period of time and reopening, they are back with some great changes. The new menu offers many of our old favorites, moussaka, the best calamari I've ever had, lamb, and many new things. The lemon chicken, new vegetarian options, and great seafood. The owners and the servers are friendly and helpful. From an intimate dinner for two to a big party, Nikos is your best bet!!
