Pelagos on Bell Blvd

Yesterday the whole gang went to this Pelagos on Bell Boulevard.

We started with some grilled octopus and shrimp. The octopus was nicely charred, not chewy at all, the same was with the shrimps, very nicely done. Then between the appetizers and the main course, we waited at least 15 minutes and the dining room wasn't all that busy at all. That was pretty annoying especially when you have young children who expect the continuous flow of food and won't sit still just enjoying the ambiance. Just like the name would have it, the color scheme of the place is mainly blue and the decor reminds people of the Aegean (I made this part up). At the end of the dining room is the open kitchen with some seafood on display.

When the main course came, the long wait was kind of forgotten and forgiven. We had grilled sardines, some Greek hamburger, chicken kebab, and seafood pasta. Everything was fresh and savory. The pasta was cooked al dente, with ample of seafood, very well seasoned, I say worth the $25 price tag. The hamburger was juicy and the fries were good too. We had the lemon potato and horta for sides. No ice cream for the kids but they did have some sweet dessert on the house and I ordered a cup of Greek coffee to go with the dessert.

Service was decent and the food was very good.

In the end with 18% tips thrown in, the check came to a grand total of about $120. Nowadays, 18% or even 20% is the new 15%.
