Athenian Grouper

George Sarris fully embraces the Greek ideal of greeting every stranger as a friend and has gained generations of loyal customers as a result. His restaurant and menu both revolve around giving people great fresh seafood in a friendly atmosphere, so you know the section of the menu marked “George Sarris’ Specials” are truly that.

The Athenian grouper plate features freshly caught fish, prepared and swimming in subtle Greek flavor. Topped with grilled onions, creamy feta and tomatoes, the full palate of Greece is displayed with the addition of olives and some traditional spices.
