Editorial Review for Santorini Restaurant – by Peter Behle
In Short
You'd swear you were in Greece, except for the large fireplace that fills in for an ocean view. Whitewashed walls are decorated with baskets and copper pans, while bouzouki music plays in the background. Traditional Greek favorites include charcoal-grilled octopus and calamari, vegetarian moussaka and whole black sea bass. Lamb lovers should visit Thursday or Sunday, when the specials include barbecued lamb--it's slow-cooked, falling off the bone, and served with lemon-oregano potatoes.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkRetsina (a pine resin-flavored white wine) is the authentic accompaniment to homestyle Greek dishes. It's an acquired taste; so try a glass before ordering a full bottle.
Save MoneyIf you're dining with a group of eight or more people, consider the family-style meals, which offer three or four courses ($17.95-$36 per person, depending on selections).

This place was fabulous! Grilled Octopus apptitizer was the best I've had and the belini's are great too. Nice warm place to go over the winter months. Very cozy. The service is wonderful and very knowledgeable.

This new Greektown restaurant (great decor, warm setting) has a nice menu and even nicer service. Portions are very large, and they're great about sharing plates!
Pros: seafood, service, quality, portions
Cons: entrées can get spendy
