Zorba’s Stuffed Shrimp

Stuffed Shrimp

A wonderful alternative to the standard shrimp with red sauce, Zorba’s Taverna Restaurant and Bar’s seafood Stuffed Shrimp is perfect for the seafood lover transitioning from light summer fare to warmer, heartier fall dinners. Each shrimp was perfectly pink, firm, and generously stuffed. The lobster sauce was almost buttery in both texture and color, and there was more than enough to flavor the creamy mashed potatoes (my first side). The broccoli (my second side) was just as I like it . . . steamed, slightly crisp, and a gorgeous, vibrant green. This was a very satisfying meal. Better still, I had just enough left over for lunch the next day. -JJ

Mediterranean Short Rib

Mediterranean Short Rib

Mediterranean Short Rib

A Boneless Beef Short Rib at Zorba’s Taverna Restaurant and Bar, braised in citrus and white wine paired with kalamata olive and roasted tomato demi-glace, and served with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli ($16.99). Don’t let the fancy demi-glace description fool you, this was a straight-up guy’s meal: meat, potato, and vegetable, served simply, nothing touching anything else on the plate.  The force of gravity was enough to cut through the rib. The rib was packed with unbelievable flavor, and there was plenty of that sweet, tangy, fancy-sounding sauce left over for the potatoes.  The broccoli was al dente, nothing fancy.  The meat, however, was the star of this show, because this was indeed a guy’s meal. -JD
