GREEKTOWN. This is Greek dining at its most elegant with perfectly grilled lamb chops, unique meze (Greek appetizers), and classic takes on fresh fish. The dining room is a feast for the eyes with intricate tiling and graceful arches. The kebabs and the fisherman's risotto are highly recommended. Sit back and enjoy fine Greek cooking while a soothing piano plays in the background. EL: Blue Line UIC/Halsted

GREEKTOWN. Greek Islands separates itself from the pack with festive atmosphere and a professional waitstaff. Indeed, the flavorful restaurant has managed to garner a fair amount of local praise and delicious dolmades, moussaka, and lamb kokkinisto make it easy to see why. If seafood is more your style, fresh lavraki is flown in daily, and broiled octopus is ideal for adventurous palates.

GREEKTOWN. Greece's island neighbor to the east, Cyprus, provides the bounty of luscious cuisine found at this restaurant. Mezes, the Mediterranean version of tapas, are undoubtedly the star of the menu and include temptations like grilled baby octopus with balsamic vinegar, pork meatballs with yogurt, and swordfish kebobs. If you're not in the mood to share, choose something from the entree list. Pastitsio and mousaka are here, as well as a host of scrumptious but less familiar dishes. Live Greek music on weekends is an added bonus.
