Santorini

Last night was our monthly dinner for the Couples Group that we run, we choose Santorini’s because they are great for groups and a lot of the people in the group had never had Greek food before. We had 8 couples in attendance with 4 couples at each table. It was a good way to socialize and try to talk to everyone. We choose a Rosemount Shiraz for Wine.

 

 

We started with the Pita Spreads, you choose 3 options from their list of 8. We had the Spicy Feta, Tahini and Melitzano

 

Spicy Feta – Creamy feta with olive oil and hot peppers
Taramosalata – Red caviar, potatoes and onions
Tirosalata – Fresh herbs, peppers and feta cheese
Tzatziki – Yogurt sauce with garlic and cucumbers
Tahini hummous – Garbanzo, sesame seeds and olive oil
Roasted pepper hummous – Garbanzo with roasted sweet peppers and chiles
Melitzano – salata – Roasted eggplant with garlic and oil.
Kalamata and Goat Cheese tapenade – Chunk olives, herbs, garlic and fresh goat cheese

 

 

 

 

Before my dinner arrived I had a cup of Avgolemono Soup, which I think its my favorite soup! Such great lemon flavor.

 

 

Mike ordered the lamb moussaka, two lamb Chops, pastichio, potatoes & vegetable combo. I should have taken the after picture, there was nothing left of his plate!

 

 

I ordered the Greek peasant sampler that had Lamb gyro, shrimp, loukaniko sausage, dolmades, tzatziki, feta cheese, olives, peppers, spinach pie
and pastichio in phyllo. This was SO MUCH FOOD! I think I ate about 1/4 of it, the fridge is now full of leftovers.

 

 

 

Santorini’s was great for a big group and our service was impeccable! I would go back with the couples group in the future.
