‘am, methinks the time has come for
~.. Some renewed Kyprakian attention :
to detail.

_- For example, its menu, though

“extremely reasonable (Soups, © _
Mezedes and other starters — $3 to
- $8; entrées —- $12 to $14) has
“remained virtually unchanged since
the: restaurant’s inception.
: Comfortably familiar, yes, but less
than challenging for adventurous
diners.

And the quality of the food pro-
duced by Kypriaki’s kitchen i is
“uneven. :

Our sampled. Tiger Prawns,
“though listed as a Kypriaki Special,

_ were far less than that, and the

. Sikotakia Riganata (chicken livers),

‘.- sautéed in a white wine sauce and ;
“topped with'slices of white onion, '
Were dry and unappealing. .

- Kypriaki’s Pickled Octopus,
however, continues. to be an excel-

. lent opening dish that is ideal with
--a chilled piisner and a slab or two
‘of pita bread... §

‘A nightly specials list also
shows promise. On the recent
Friday night that Table Hopping

is visited Rypriaki, it included Jumbo

ace to meet

Blue Prawns ($17.95), Potlo Diablo
($12.95), Grilled Halibut ($13.95),
Clams and Mussels ($8.95) and the
sampled Armadillo Eggs ($6.95 for
cream cheese deep-fried in egg-

shaped balls wrapped in grape
leaves and served with a spicy

. jalapeno pepper coulis).

’ Entrée portions are rural Greek
style: size jumbo, taden upon oval
platters with the traditional hefty
Tice, potato, Greek salad and
cooked vegetable accompaniment.

All basic stuff that fills you up
fast without much culinary finesse.

. Kypriaki’s wine list ($17 to $30)
has a good variety of bottles from
Europe and a limited number from
North America and elsewhere.

Kypriaki’s atmosphere, with its
small dining room, tightly packed
tables and authentic Greek taverna
decor, nurtures the warm flame of
summer throughout the year, but it
begins to bum brightest from now
to the end of September.

. The resilient Marine Drive taver-.
- na continues to entertain its legion

of regulars, but it needs a swift shot
of kitchen inspiration to keep from
falling behind renewed Greek

restaurant competition elsewhere on

the North Shore.
