Authentic Greek Food

 

By Kay Schroeder

Laguna Hills (Perfect Meal Today) 6/5/19/–Located in Laguna Hills, Greek Bistro is a purveyor of casual Greek dining

Established in 2006. Greek Bistro is a family owned and operated restaurant.

“Family is at the core of who we are, so our family invites yours to explore the richness and splendor of Greek Bistro’s dishes. From our classic gyros to our signature bowls, our casual Greek dishes will make you feel like you’re in Greece. Our promise is to provide quality meals with the best service at an affordable price for all of our customers.”

Our handsome young waiter told us that his mom prepares every dish from scratch, while the sons make up the wait staff.

This restaurant has managed to create the perfect ambience for lunch on its beautifully appointed patio. Patio seating allows the diner to sit back, relax, and enjoy the refreshing light breeze that is omnipresent. The menu offers a wonderful assortment of traditional Greek appetizers, entrees, and desserts. A nice selection of wines is offered at reasonable prices. 

In the evening the restaurant is transformed into a romantic get away experience with twinkling lights overhead and flickering candles on the tables. Members of the friendly wait staff welcome guests with vivacious enthusiasm and a desire to please by offering information (ingredients, method of preparation, etc.) on menu items.

An added bit of fun and drama is introduced at the table as the waiter brandy flambés the Cheese Saganaki, or the Shrimp & Ouzo Saganaki.

Guests are also welcome to just have a glass of wine, enjoy an appetizer and enjoy a relaxing respite.
