tonight we ate dinner @ a new mediterranean restaurant in the tower. we had heard about it, and had heard good things, but hadn't been able to get over there yet.
first off, i love how they've transformed the place. the decor inside and out is very nice. the patio area is great, and we ate our there tonight as the weather was great.
i ordered the lamb kabob dinner plate. first, it came with a salad that blew me away. i'm not a big salad guy, and i usually don't like leafy greens, but for some reason i tore this one up. the dressing was a nice balsamic vinaigrette that work well with the kalamata olives and the feta. i even shocked myself by eating the cucumbers, something i rarely do. the lamb was very good, and i enjoyed it with some tahini and hummus on a pita. the pilaf under it all was good, too. i suppose i would've liked more lamb, but after it was all said and done, i was full.
monticore had a falafel that looked good, and was a pretty large portion. she enjoyed it, and i had a bite to taste the chickpea goodness. i thought it was nice, but i'm not sure it's what i would pick when we go back for more. she also ordered a side of fries which were simple little shoe string fries, but the spices they had on them made them scrumptious. seriously, i was full but i kept grabbing more.
it was a very good meal, and the family running the place seemed very nice. we'll definitely go back and try more of the menu.

I've been trying to get Adam to go there with me. Maybe now he will!
Did a Saturday lunch there a couple of weekks ago, and was impressed. Simple, but good. I'll go back and try a plate (we just had the sandwiches).
yeah, i want to go back and grab a sandwich. i like schwarma, and the sandwiches were well priced.
the lunch & dinner plates were a little steep, but not terrible.
Wow! That sounds fabulous! We don't have too many Mediterranean places in Columbia. (shocking, i know!)
I'm curious. Where exactly is it in Tower? I see you included the address, but what is that by?
it's across from tower chinese/donuts/burgers and the peach pit, just west of rousseau.
