Guide Review - Tasso's Greek Restaurant
The weekends are the best time to be at Tasso’s—at around 9:30 pm on Friday and Saturday, resident belly dancer Zarina contorts her stomach muscles as restaurant goers gaze in amazement. They’ve also got a live guitar playing everything from authentic Grecian tunes to drunken renditions of “Sweet Caroline”, and a very unusual man with a dancing beard. Yes, I said dancing beard. If that’s not enough, they get the whole restaurant in on the fun—she grabs a group of men and tries to teach them to belly dance and then coaxes a group of girls for a belly dance-off. You can even break a plate or two for good luck.
Lets not forget that Tasso's has some of the best Greek food in town. The Flaming Cheese is a great start. For entrees, The Greek Combo gives a huge sampling of gyro, pastitsio, and mousaka which are all delicious, and the gyro platter is perfect. The chicken kabob is the house fave, while Tasso’s serves up a tender KC strip and pork chop for less adventurous types.
So drink some ouzo, break some plates and head to Tasso’s—you’ll be glad you did….“Opa!”
