Santorini Taverna’s chefs combine choice meats, fresh vegetables, and authentic ingredients to create an extensive dinner menu of Mediterranean eats. Dining duos and quartets can dig fluffy pita into a shared platter of assorted cold dips, featuring hummus, tzatziki, caviar taramosalata, eggplant melitzanosalata, beets, and grape leaves. Entrees of charcoal-grilled lamb chops or Greek-style chicken arrive to tables with a choice of fries, oven-roasted lemon potatoes, rice, or dry-cleaned-and-steamed greens. Servings of succulent crabmeat fill stuffed fillet of sole, and diners can usher bites to their stomach seats with sips of house wine.

Colorful Mediterranean murals of mythical gods coupled with crisp blue-and-white tablecloths transport diners to the shores of Greece without requiring passports, plane tickets, or travel-size chimera. Groups can take their fare outside and sup on fresh air under the thatched umbrellas on Santorini Taverna’s breezy patio.
