Mandolin Aegean Bistro

Historic. Set in a restored 1940s home, this charming bistro offers a relaxing environment. Indoors a homey atmosphere is accented with a blue-and-white color scheme, reclaimed furnishings, rare china and benches. While the air-conditioned inside dining area is a bit cramped, the courtyard patio is a great place to grab a bite to eat, as the rugged brick patio, shaded by hovering trees, offers a bit more space to spread out. Mediterranean dishes, with Turkish and Greek influences, line the menu. The simple, yet healthy, menu is comprised of locally-caught seafood and farm-raised meats prepared via fresh herbs and spices. Choose from dishes such as kopoglu, sucuk, kefte, gyros, moussaka and bifteki. You have to try the shrimp orzo before moving onto your entrée. The flavorful dishes will cause an explosion of flavor in your mouth.
