Greek in SF please
I've never been to Santorini and ate only once at Estia.
Know Kokkari and Mezzes pretty well.
Need a Greek rec for midweek at "regular"--8ish--dining hour.
Appreciate any recent experiences.

How was Santorini? I've never been there, but was thinking to check it out.
Thank you

How was your dinner at Estia? On Thursday evening: The avegolemono at Estia is a thick porridge of rice, egg and chicken stock with lemon. - At first taste, I wished I had ordered a bowl instead of the cup in front of me. After that, the flaming saganaki was oozy with melting cheese and crunchy with its breaded crust...then, the lamb shank Youvetsi with orzo and tomato was hearty and satisfying. We shared the Estia Salad of greens and feta lightly dressed with balsamic vinaigrette and it was a generous plate. For dessert, there was a deliciously sweet custard with phyllo crust. The menu is limited; mousaka is a Friday and Saturday only Special - my Kleftiko was the Thursday Special and it was overcooked crusty dry chunks of lamb with brownish grey peas and mushy potato in a parchment packet that was brittle and brown from sitting too long in the oven with none of its promised goodness. For next time, I'd go for the avegolemono and the giandes...but, I'd rather be eating in Greece.
