"Well Worth the Visit. My husband and I had dinner at Laskara;s last Saturday evening. It was our first visit and we enjoyed it very much. The restaurant is nicely decorated and we were greeted warmly by the hostess. We had called ahead to see if we needed reservations because the website encouraged them, but were told to just come down. Much to our surprise, the restaurant was not very crowded and we were seated right next to the beautiful stone fireplace which had a lovely cracking fire going in it. Our waiter was not much to write home about, he did his job, but had no personality. The waitress for the table next to us, who commented that she had been working there for 15 years was much more engaged with her tables, but really, it didn't alter our positive experience. The menu was varied including a page of specials and the food was very good. The family style Greek salad (served with every meal) was very good. My husband had the Paella (not really Greek) and he was very pleased with it. I had the sliced Rack of Lamb over mashed potatoes with broccolino on the side and the lamb was very tasty and cooked to perfection. For dessert we shared a piece of Baklava, which we were told was made at the restaurant. We were surprised that it was served warm, which made the top more soggy rather than flaky like it is supposed to be. I'm not sure why it was served warm and we both would have preferred it served a room temperature. I wonder if it was frozen? Not sure how they stay in business when there were so few tables on a Saturday night, but my husband and I will definitely visit again. The ambiance was warm and inviting and it was a quiet restaurant where you could easily have a conversation with the person or people you are dining with. Dinner for two with one appetizer, 3 glasses of wine, two entrees and 1 dessert came to $100 pre-tip."
