Anthos

Greek grilled calamari; yes, diner style, far from it.

The interior is pleasant and understated, the servers, pleasant and just a bit insistent with the beverages (iced tea; $5.50), the palette of flavors, somewhat restrained. Included in two prix fixe lunches (regularly $28; during Restaurant Week, $24.07): above, an appetizer of grilled calamari and pork belly; below, a meze of raw fish; entrées of lamb shank and milk-fed chicken with chestnuts; chocolate cake and poached pear for dessert.
