We're settling in to our new apartment. What a difference a few hundred feet makes! One of the nicest perks is access to the renovated fitness center with a climate-controlled cardio machine room. The dangererous thing about our new gym is the tv attached to each machine. While I was trotting along to an episode of HGTV's House Hunters, my boyfriend was watching Food Network's special on Greek food. With the memory of whole roasted fish in his head, he was on a mission to find a place to try it. After thinking about possible places, we had an impromptu dinner at Cava. Without a reservation we had a short wait for a table, so we started off with some taramosalata ($5.95) and pinot grigio at the bar. The pita is not made in house, so it's just ok, but the whipped roe dip was fluffy and delicious.
We decided to try some new dishes, and went with the waiter's recommendation of grilled lamb chops $14.95. They're served on a bed of french fries with lemon and fresh parsley. The lamb was juicy and tender.
Whole roasted fish. Mkt. price $32.95. This was a 1.5 lb. bronzino with parsley, lemon juice and olive oil. Very simple preparation, and really enjoyable.
Grilled Asparagus with lemon vinaigrette and feta cheese ($7.95).
