Best Greek

At Capitol Hill's Byzantion, you may feel like like you've stepped into a taverna somewhere in the Plaka. Brightly painted tiles stand out against the yellow walls. Frantic strumming music alternates with Mediterranean pop. The skordo is a favorite appetizer—warm goat cheese served in a cast-iron skillet with rosemary, roasted garlic, and kalamata olives, with a side of pita. A more exciting option is the saganaki—fried cheese drenched in ouzo and lit on fire. For your main course, the gyros are better than average, while the roast chicken is nearly perfect.
