Taverna Khione

This tiny restaurant is very nice! My sweetie and I had a wonderful time here. Great service, and great food. The wine and Greek coffee were really good, too. We had cured scallops, tzatziki dip, grilled octopus, and a couple other tasty morsels. Sweetie said she really enjoyed the pine-sap ice cream too.

I've been coming to Brunswick since I was born and this is my favorite restaurant in town... and to think I only found it this past summer! Taverna Khione is a welcome change from the all too common blt, fish & chips, and lobster roll fare in the area. Don't get me wrong, those are all good, but sometimes you need something different! The Food: -I recommend starting with the Tzatziki and bread. The Fava is good too, but the Tzatziki is just a little better. -Next, you MUST order the Soutzoukakia -- "Veal and beef meatballs with cumin and allspice; white wine-tomato sauce," according to their website, and oh so yummy. -Last time I was there, I got the special which was veal... no one was more surprised than I was when it stole the show! Their lamb is usually very good as well. That being said, they do change up their menu and I would definitely ask your server what they recommend. -Finish it all off with a greek coffee. Yamas! Service: I know a lot of folks have complaints about the service. And while you definitely can't expect to be fawned over here, our food has always been very timely. This won't be helpful for visitors, but as we've become regulars the service has improved and we quite enjoy that aspect as well now. Reservations: You need to make one. Every time I've eaten here people have been turned away. Parking: There is a small lot to the left of the Taverna. We've never had trouble finding parking there. P.S. I didn't mention it, but wine is a must here!

Wow! Excellent Greek cuisine. Everything was fresh and delicious. The last time I had taramousalata that good was when my Thea made it. The octopus was crispy and tender, sardines were perfectly grilled with a nice light marinade. The vegetable fritters and imam baldi were better than any I’ve ever had. We had the kataif and pasta flora for dessert - both were great. They have an extensive and impressive wine list. Considering the fact that the place was packed, and there was only one server and it looked as if the one chef in the back we got all of our food and wine etc. in a very timely fashion. We will definitely be back!
