Lola

This upscale dining room downtown serves inventive Greek cuisine. Making an excellent starter, pita bread is served with your choice of spread, like roasted sweet red pepper, barrel-aged minty feta or skordalia. Meze, such as grilled octopus and dolmades with rice, and a variety of kabobs appear on the menu, too. Lola doesn't skimp on main courses either; offerings may include a tagine of stuffed artichokes, avgolemono and saffron couscous or a whole fish with pickled green garlic and herbs. Happy hour happens Monday through Friday from 4 to 6 p.m.; find specials on beer, cocktails and snacks like Penn Cove oysters.
