After a hard day of shopping at The Grove, sit down, close your eyes and pretend you're dining somewhere in the Greek isles. But don't close your eyes too long, or someone might steal your bags.

Cloth napkins and charming service seem to be an anomaly for a Farmers Market restaurant, but this cafe is on the outside of the market, and the difference is notable. A Greek feast will begin with warm pita and creamy tzatziki or traditional spanakopita, and move on to skewers of grilled chicken and fluffy rice. The glut of shoppers, theater-goers and tourists seems comfortably at bay. On Friday and Saturday nights, traditional bouzouki music (festive Greek music) starts at 7:30pm. There's a full bar.
