441640 Sat Sep 15 16:22:15 -0700 2007 14 12 Greater Boston Area 0 2944935 What is the name of the new Greek restaurant in Back Bay? Just opened...if I remember correctly, it's on Boylston. Would also love any feedback - wondering especially if they have barbounia, whole fish, and a good taramasolata (my sic. if that last one is spelled incorrectly). Thanks - am having trouble googling to find the location, address, anything without the resto's name. Sat Sep 15 16:22:15 -0700 2007 14961 LivestoEat 1 2944962 Is it Vlora? Sat Sep 15 16:36:55 -0700 2007 2944935 10076 limster 2 2944974 That's it! Thanks so much. Have you been there? There are no reviews posted, but it looks like it's open. Sat Sep 15 16:40:36 -0700 2007 2944962 14961 LivestoEat 3 2944990 'fraid not; been mostly going to old favourites recently, and still have pretty big to-do list like the new place with Puebla cuisine in East Boston mentioned in the Mexican food thread below. Sat Sep 15 16:47:53 -0700 2007 2944974 10076 limster 4 2945049 Will definitely check the eastie mexican places you're talking about during the week. Thx for mentioning them. Is there anything new and interesting in the city that you would recommend for tonight? Loved your reviews of O Ya. Sat Sep 15 17:15:39 -0700 2007 2944990 14961 LivestoEat 5 2945319 Thanks for your kind words. Sorry I'm a bit late, but the two top of my head ideas (which I haven't tried) would be Harvest (old restaurant, but under a new chef who once cooked at one of my SF favourites, Elisabeth Daniel) and the Wisteria House stall at the Super 88 food court. Would be great to have more folks check out all those Eastie places -- there's so much that's not covered and I'm barely scratching the surface. Sat Sep 15 20:14:53 -0700 2007 2945049 10076 limster 3 2944998 They have a website, and you can download a menu. The menu looks as if they are trying to please convention attendees, tourists and shoppers not Chowhounds. http://www.vloraboston.com/ Sat Sep 15 16:50:02 -0700 2007 2944974 21331 BostonZest 4 2945023 Thanks for your post...escargot, ostrich and the caprese salad on their menu makes me want to wait to see how the reviews are before trying. Odd menu. Sat Sep 15 17:01:52 -0700 2007 2944998 14961 LivestoEat 4 2948512 Fairly expensive and not exactly that interesting in a space that has hosted a succession of failed restaurants ......

Wed Sep 19 09:16:08 -0700 2007 2948512 73860 jules127 6 2955639 Too many to mention.... see discussion here: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/401826 Wed Sep 19 09:27:24 -0700 2007 2955593 43893 C. Hamster 1 2945774 There's actually a review in this thread http://www.chowhound.com/topics/438354 Sun Sep 16 06:36:05 -0700 2007 2944935 123329 ChocolateMilkshake 1 2955411 I am meeting friends there again tonight, so I will report back. But, my first visit was very good. I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere and I thought that the menu was reasonably priced. We will see if tonight fares the same. Wed Sep 19 08:34:58 -0700 2007 2944935 104371 mouths2feed 2 2955423 Make sure you check your place settings carefully. They were working in there with power equipment, blowtorches, etc. yesterday with all the tables set up with linens, china, flatware and glasses. Didn't seem very sanitary to me, but they do this all the time. Wed Sep 19 08:37:18 -0700 2007 2955411 43893 C. Hamster 3 2958218 Thankfully, our table looked clean to me. We ended up all just getting a bunch of appetizers which were fun to share for four girls and I also noticed that their wine list was pretty extensive and reasonable. All in all, I thought it was a fun place to go afterwork for a couple apps and a glass of wine. There are not a ton of places like that in that specific area, so it was a nice addition to our block. They had this fried homemade pita thing served with three different dipping sauces which was very tasty. Also, we shared the watermelon and feta again because I enjoyed it so much the first time. My DCs ordered the arancini and they liked the variety served. Wed Sep 19 22:06:37 -0700 2007 2955423 104371 mouths2feed
