To begin with, Zorba’s Taverna Restaurant and Bar isn’t your grandmother’s Christo’s. With its new island bar layout and polished hardwood floors, Zorba’s is a much-needed upgrade for this tired old building. The innovative menu is a shot in the arm, too. There is an abundance of choices, and I finally went with the Pineapple and Honey Glazed Salmon. I wasn’t disappointed. The fish was crispy with just the right taste of sweetness. I usually pay less heed to image than actual quality, but here even the presentation was pleasing to match the deliciousness. With slightly larger portions of sides (asparagus and potatoes), there may have been enough to take home, but admittedly I was pretty hungry all afternoon so I didn’t expect this dish to make it through the night. The only negative of this meal was the Lemon Greek Potatoes were already room temperature when they arrived. -BJH
