After two months of renovation, Chef Pano Karatassos’ Kyma reopens today with its new Ouzo Bar & Dining Room concept, according to a press release. The space, inspired by traditional Greek ouzeri, will focus on a mezze menu, wines and cocktails, and a variety of ouzo.
The mezze menu will include popular selections from Kyma such as lamb pie and octopus while including lighter fare such as halibut and salads. A five-course “design your own tasting menu” will also be available every evening at three different price points and includes spreads, mezze, whole fish and entrees.
“Our new lounge takes you on a culinary adventure,” said Karatassos in the release. “If you can’t visit the Greek Isles in person, let us transport you to the Mediterranean just for the evening with a sensory experience of fresh seafood and the authentic flavors of Greek mezze delicately paired with ouzo.”
The redesigned space intends to bring you to Santorini. In addition to furniture and decor reminiscent of the Greek Isle, video of the Aegean sea loop on three flat-screen televisions. The redesign also features an outdoor garden seating up to 20, intended for larger celebrations.
The new Ouzo Bar & Dining Room will offer half-priced wines Sunday and Wednesday and “Martini Night” every Tuesday.
I wonder who the first person was, that looked at that sea creature with eight tentacles and suction cups– and thought “that looks pretty tasty.”
Gag…
