The Scene – Complementing the mod-flavored decor of the adjoining Andra hotel, the dining room and bar are outfitted with flame-shaped, scarlet-colored light fixtures and parallel lines of high-backed booths. Soaring ceilings, hardwoods and walls of windows, combined with clamoring regulars, make for rather noisy ambience, but well-meaning servers do their best to communicate with diners over the din. – – The Food – Douglas' version of Greek fare showcases his affection for local ingredients and his talent for creating simple, thoughtful compositions. At lunch, the…

super tasty place to share
by Miss E
Our server was fantastic and gave my friend and I good recommendations on both wine and food. The Chicken kabob was one of those magical food experiences that one rarely has... we ordered another. They were mindful of us needing to get to a theatre show. Everything was quite tasty.
- Pros: great for sharing plates, friendly service, good food
- Cons: loud room,

Delicious splurge
by cmg2002
My husband and I decided to dine here after enjoying Lola's food at a party at the Palace Ballroom. The food was really delicious, if a bit expensive. We enjoyed the spreads as an hors d'oeuvre. We had the feta spread and the fig and olive spread and really liked both. (As a side note, it seemed a little ridiculous to have to pay $3.50 for extra pita bread for the spreads.) My husband had the octopus and I had the greek salad. The salad was outstanding ... really fresh and yummy with great quality ingredients. My husband enjoyed the octopus, but I think if we go back, we'll just split the salad. We each had a tagine as an entree. My goat tagine was fabulous. The meat was so tender and flavorful. My husband's lamb tagine was really good too but not as wonderful as the goat. We had the "doughnuts" for dessert and they were tasty but nothing special in our opinion. The cocktails were good, especially my husband's sidecar, and we both enjoyed the "house" wine. Service was polite, efficient, and prompt. Our server made great menu recommendations and was gracious about the fact that our salads arrived before the spreads. Also, the reservations staff and hostess were very kind to us. We had a reservation for 9:15 on Saturday night, but they told my husband when he made the reservation on Thursday to call Saturday morning to see if they could fit us in earlier in the event of last-minute cancellations, and they wound up moving our reservation to 8:30 pm. When we showed up at 7:45 pm planning to enjoy a drink at the bar before being seated, they were able to seat us right away, which was great for us tired young parents! Overall it was a really nice night out. It is a little pricey, even considering the high quality of the food and service, but it is well worth it for a treat!
- Pros: Delicious food, kind service, fun atmosphere

Very good
by TIMBERHO53
This was a very interesting dinning experience. Upscale with a causal feel that is comforting. I thoroughly enjoyed the variety of different flavors offered and the Brussels sprouts were the best I have ever had! Even people who despise these mini cabbages would find these palatable. The one thing I did not like about the food was the Roasted Lamb, as I had to keep removing fat and gristle objects from my mouth that i was unable to chew; which I found to be embarrassing and annoying. The overall flavor of the Lamb was very good and the sauce was delightful but the toughness and inability to throughly chew the meat is inexcusable for a Tom Douglas restaurant. I will absolutely go back but will not be ordering the Lamb. I highly recommend the Spare Ribs, Smashed potatoes and the appetizer spreads! The Service was also very very good.
- Pros: Brussels Sprouts and Service!
- Cons: Noise, and Roast Lamb
