There were 6 of us (all young professionals) out to dinner at Vios around 8pm last night. By that time the kids have cleared and the restaurant is a perfect place for a casual delicious meal. The beginning of the meal included the olives which had in the past changed a friend of mine from an olive hater to an olive lover, enough said. The trio of hummus, baba ghanoush, and tzatziki was fabulous and resembled the best I have had in Detroit (where a you can find greek food flows like the coffee does in Seattle). The roasted beet salad covered perfectly with flavorful olive oil and tossed with Kasseri (greek hard cheese) was perfect and compared to no other beet salad i've had. If you like beets, this is your dream come true. Our main courses were close to perfect. The lamb was "as tender as it can get" and accompanied by a cold bean salad. Perfect for spring! The spinach rice dish was good for what it was and a generous portion but ,not my style. Finally, dessert ! It reminded me of my time in Europe. Tiny dishes of delicious gellato accompanied by a shot of illy espresso. Although I didn't try it, the bread pudding was igorgeous and again a generous portion. It was nhaled quickly as the olive oil cake was passed amongst us proving to be as moist and delicious as it looked. In all our experience was delightful and although it is a bit pricey, you pay for what you get. Fabulous ambiance, a kind staff, suiting wine, authentic food, and memories.
Pros: Delicious Food
Cons: If you don't like kids at a restaurant eat here after 8PM
