…you’re likely to see traditional faves such as spanakopita and grilled shish kebabs mingling with beet salad and roasted branzino on the same menu. Other Mediterranean entrees bring in touches of Italy (chicken thighs baked with a marsala cream sauce and served with polenta) and Spain/Portugal (paella with mussels, prawns, chicken and Portuguese sausage).
