Iraklio


Those seeking a traditional Greek meal might be disappointed here, but diners looking for an ultra-contemporary experience will be happy with the modern music, cutting-edge design, and steaks- and chops-focused menu, which also dabbles in more global dishes (spicy buffalo wings, for example). Burgers, if you're in need, are perfectly charred and surprisingly rich – a welcome change of pace. Great wine list, too.
