Huge portions of Greek, Italian and American fare in a gallery-esque Evanston setting.

by Elisa Kronish

In Short
Work by local artists cover two brick walls at this popular student hangout, where fresh flowers in blue glass bottles daintily decorate tables and booths along the walls. Garlic is a staple ingredient here, fresh, chopped or minced in starters (sauteed spinach with feta cheese) and entrees (linguini and shrimp, and deliciously juicy Greek chicken). Seasoned, grilled whitefish is a lighter main course; other options include generous salads, sandwiches and burgers.

• Pros: changing artworkgenerous portions
• Cons: inconsistent service
