Chicken Atlantis

Chicken AtlantisThe Chicken Atlantis at Zorba’s Taverna Restaurant and Bar is a grilled free range statler chicken breast served on a bed of sauteed shrimp, scallops, lobster and topped with a creamy lobster sauce; served with mashed potato and sauteed broccoli.

This dish was as delicious as the portion was large. There was a surprisingly generous amount of shellfish and it was all perfectly cooked in a yummy lick-your-plate lobster sauce. The chicken was slightly dry, but doused in that lobster sauce I barely noticed. Accompanied with a pile of creamy mashed potatoes and perfectly steamed broccoli – this was a perfect comfort dish for a rainy night. -SB

Taverna Burger

I must admit, when I was first presented with the Taverna Burger at Zorba’s Taverna Restaurant and Bar I was disappointment by it’s appearance. Having seen the other dishes arrive from the kitchen as mini works of art, the Taverna Burger seemed to be casually thrown onto the plate with it’s sides; especially with the honey presented in a plastic cup reminiscent of my jello-shot days. The sweet potato fries were pretty standard with the all too familiar “processed orange” color, albeit satisfactory. While the burger was flavorful, juicy, and perfectly charred, the toppings were an unexpected combination of flavor and texture. The two cheeses—feta and mozzarella—worked perfectly together as they vied for my taste buds’ attention, only to lose out to the flavor of the mushrooms and bacon. The real unexpected treat was the honey. Adding the sweetness of the honey to each bite of the burger tantalized the taste buds to easily forget about the hastily put together appearance and disappointing sweet potato fries. -LV
