Trying New Restaurants


So the other day I went out with a friend to try a new type of restaurant--Greek. Understand I've eaten Greek before but that was eons ago. In fact my new thing is to try a different restaurant in Chicago once a month--let's see how long this last.

Anyway, I went to Greek Islands Restaurant at 200 So. Halsted --a restaurant with a nice atmosphere and definitely with Greek cuisine. I tried a new dish--can't quite remember the name of it but it was cheese being flambeed right before your eyes. Fried cheese--interesting. It was good and I would certainly try it again.

What's unique about this restaurant is the nice fireplace in the bar area. Makes you warm and cozy. If you want to have a drink with a friend and chit-chat, and feel good all over, try Greek Islands.

Little Known Fact:
The interior of Greek Islands mimics a small Greek Fishing Market.
