Fodor's Expert Review Mandolin Aegean Bistro
A step inside this 1940s house-turned-bistro transports you to ya-ya’s home along the Aegean Sea. The food is fresh and the service warm, matching its charming dining garden enlivened by an awning of trees, a rustic wooden canopy, and traditional village furnishings. The menu of Greek and Turkish dishes appears simple, yet the raw flavors of excellent ingredients are memorable well beyond your meal. The food dazzles from beginning to end, commencing with flights of hummus, tzatziki, eggplant purees, and other authentic dipping sauces. Other noteworthy items include the signature Greek salad, grilled beef and lamb meatballs, a grilled Halloumi cheese sandwich, chicken kabobs, and fresh daily fish specials. Many of the herbs and produce used are picked right from the restaurant’s organic garden next door.
