Best Greek food

We showed up with no reservations. But we were greeted by a very friendly host and quickly seated. Our waiter was attentive but not obtrusive. Although the wine list is not extensive, there was a nice selection. The manager/owner was very willing to help us make our selections. My date chose a simple Merlot that he described as velvty and delicous (one of the best glasses that he has had in a long time). For me, the manager chose a Chardonnay that was perfect for my tastes. The menu is extensive -- covering chicken, beef, lamb, and other poultry of Greek food. There is something for everyone. We decided on a quail dish and lamb shishkabob.
Before our meal arrived, the waiter provided us with complimentary warm flat bread similar to indian naan. It was accompianed by a dish filled with fresh walnuts, feta cheese, cilantro, radishes, and butter. It was an excellent start to dinner. Our entrees arrived very shortly after, and each was accompanied by a plateful of wonderfully delicous basmati rice and roasted onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. The lamb was cooked to a perfect medium rare -- tender and incredibly flavorful. The lamb kebab was superb and perhaps one of the best dishes I have ever tasted. All in all, one of the best resurants I have eaten at in California.
