($8.95) from the special list. Came with Avgolemeno, the classic Greek consomme with rice and egg, spiked with fresh lemon, and Greek salad. Big plate with big skewer of grilled salmon. Fresh prawn on the side. Lots of Greek salad and hearty chunks of pita. Good value.

Price: About $5 to $10.

upscale but not overly rich or pre- tentious. Some whimsical combina- tions and inventive plates from chef Sonny Mendoza. Appetizers and lighter dishes include Grilled Oyster Mushroom and Smoked Goose Breast, Charred Rare Ahi Tuna, Hand-peeled Shrimp Salad and a pair of ambitious pizzas. Entrees offer such choices as Veal Osso Bucco, Grilied Lamb Chops, Oven Baked Eggplant and a trio of pasta.

Food: Overall — expertly prepared and artistically presented. Preceded a Louisiana Catfish Burger ($10.95) with an invigorating Cioppino ($4.95). Good soup ona grey winter day. Burger topped with lively jalapeno pepper relish. Spicy banana pepper on the side. Dressed in fresh veg: carrots, broc- coli and red pepper in red cabbage cup. Nice try, but catfish doesn’t really make it as a burger substi- tute. Come to think of it, not many fish do.

Service: Attentive and personable. Frice: Starters $5 to $9; lunch entrees $10 to $13. Heading towards the high end.
