    This past Friday I had the pleasure of checking out Nostos, a Mediterranean restaurant in Tyson’s, for my birthday dinner with Boyfriend. It is actually just Greek, and just delicious… First Course - We started off with the Tzatziki dip and the Imam Baildi - Which is one of the vegetarian Mezedes, a Greek style of tapas. Both were outstanding. The flavors in the Tzaztiki were perfectly combined to create a delicious lemony - cucumber spread that went perfectly with the warm seasoned pita bread. The Imam, which was baby eggplant with a tomato, pine nut, raison spread was perfectly paired as well. It was served cold, which we were both surprised by at first, but found to be the perfect dish to wet our appetites.   Second Course - The interesting thing about Nostos is that they do not have every dish they list on their menu every night. Availability and freshness dictate which dishes will be available each night. Some people may find this annoying, but I thought it was perfect. You know you’re getting the freshest possible dish and you’re choices and narrowed down for you! We decided on the Seabass and the Braised Lamb Shank. Both were incredible. The Seabass was broiled to perfection with just a hint of lemon juice, olive oil and pepper. Just the way I like my fish. It was paired with a spinach rice pilaf that was both moist and flavorful. The Lamb shank was probably the best I’ve ever had. The braising left it moist and falling of the bone, with an amazing flavor that included a hint of cinnamon. SO GOOD.  Wine - Tetramythos, Merlot – medium bodied, dry, aromas of blackberries and cherries. A happy medium that went well with both the lamb and the fish.   I was thoroughly impressed with Nostos. I left feeling satisfied but not feeling like I was going to pop. The dishes were fresh, simply flavored and extremely delicious. Nostos is a shining example of how I like to eat, will definitely be back again!  View high resolution
