 ith a logo that depicts a goat nursing off an ouzo bottle, you know that Greeks know how to party. Not your typical souvlaki and tzatziki joint, this Greek party temple offers Belly dancing and table dancing (in case the worn table tops didn’t give it away) as live entertainment (which I’ve never associated with Greek culture before, but hey, I’m open to change). The proximity of the ocean allows the menu to expand on the usual lamb, chicken and pork fare by including a variety of fresh fish akin to authentic Grecian offerings such as giant lobster, shrimp, prawns, calamari, scallops… the list could go on. The feasting and party atmosphere inherent in Greek culture fits the Miami Beach nightlife scene accordingly where bronzed tans and an appetite for Aegian cuisine could only be rivaled by residents of Mykonos.
