Stamatis

Like the awning, the matter-of-fact black-and-white takeout menu suggests a capable and confident Greek restaurant. From the most common appetizers and entrées, every item is explained, but few are overexplained. One of the more elaborate descriptions, for ortykia scharas, says only "marinated quails brushed with olive oil, lemon and herbs." If you're going to get the brush, that's a good way to go.
