When at Zorba’s Taverna Restaurant and Bar, I decided to go Greek with the Great Greek Pizza because of it’s description of ingredients, which consisted of olive oil, garlic, spinach, black olives, tomatoes, onion, feta, and fresh herbs. I could taste the fresh ingredients, especially the garlic which was not overpowering but complimented with just enough cheese. As Greek pizzas are known for their use of feta, I wish that there was more to this pizza. The caramelized onions were the perfect touch of flavor along with the perfect cooked crust—slightly crisp with a great flavor. -TR

Zorba’s Chicken
Oompa! This is the word that comes to mind when I envision the cuisine I devoured at Zorba’s Taverna Restaurant and Bar! After scanning the extensive menu, I narrowed my choices down to 5. After difficult deliberation I finally decided on Zorba’s Chicken. The ingredients on their own sounded divine, but when served upon a moderate-sized rectangle of puff pastry (flaky and delicious) and topped with a light cream sauce, I was in Heaven! The chicken breast was small but seared nicely with a thin crispy crust, and moist, tender meat. It was placed rather stoically atop a heaping mound of perfectly wilted spinach, mushrooms, and sliced thin spicy Greek sausage – the pairing of flavors complimented by the thyme cream sauce was spectacular. The sauce was flavorful and surprisingly very light. I used the puff pastry to soak up what little sauce was left on my plate. I would order this dish again in a heartbeat. -AV
