Mykonos Taverna

2901 Clairmont Rd NE; Brookhaven; 404.638.6770

Greek culture has infiltrated the modern age in myriad ways:
Nike is their god of victory, UGA's located in Athens, and
Poseidon was an adventure, twice. For a similarly influenced
restaurant, hit Mykonos Taverna.

Formerly a Roadhouse Grill, Mykonos is a grey-marble-decked
Mediterranean diner, loudly done up with a bright blue
neon-lighted interior signage, a disco-ball'd dining area
doubling as a wood-paneled dance floor for late-night
weekend butt-shakery, serving authentic Greek cuisine to a
max of 300 guests, or legions of Persians. Food's prepped by
immigrated Greek chefs and includes hot starters like
pan-fried ground beef Keftedes w/ onion (served w/ Tzatziki
& fries), and cold apps like Taramosalata (fluffy caviar &
potato spread); heartier fare's repped by 8oz ground steak
Greek Burgers w/ feta in a pita, "Most Excellent" Philly
steaks, and chicken, lamb, or beef/lamb iterations of
"Largest and Best Gyro in Town", which is also what you
mention you've got to Greek chicks when you're
extra-desperate to get slapped. Entrees include
charcoal-grilled meats like Brizola Moscharisia (an aged rib
eye basted w/ lemon, herbs, & mushroom caps); Aegean Sea
Pasta w/ sauteed jumbo shrimp & scallops; traditional oven
casseroles like Psiari Plaki (tilapia, onions, garlic, &
plum tomatoes over wine-sauced rice); and seafood plates
like pan-fried codfish w/ Skordalia -- an emulsified garlic
puree with punchy taste, not a demand when you're desperate
for a flower fix.

Mykonos's got a full bar, w/ Sam Summer, 420, Blue Moon, &
six other brews on tap right now, plus desserts like
Baklava, Chocolate Mousse, and a baked custard pastry in
paper-thin dough, also the box office take for the Poseidon
Adventure, once.

Mykonos opens at 11am, and closes at midnight; click to view
