This last evening I was able to make it out healthy enough to have a full dinner. Some friends had met one of the owners of Kellari’s Parea Greek Bistro and we stopped in last night which happen to be their Rebetika Greek Music Night.
We sampled a few apps: spanakopita, keftedes, and saganaki. The restaurant specialized in whole fish and why not partake, so I had a grilled tsipoura. We also had some Plaki (Chilean sea bass in a tomato braising), paidakia, and what they call yesterday’s lamb. Most enjoyable though was the few bottles of Tsantali “Rapsani Reserve†(Greek wine) and the atmosphere which brought me back to a few Greek festivals in Oakland. Unfortunately we didn’t get into the Greek dancing but I was fine being a voyeur that night.
