Mandolin Aegean Bistro

Housed in a tiny, early 20th-century house in the Design District, this charming restaurant channels the Greek isles with simple, white and blue décor and a romantic patio space that is lit with flickering lights at dusk. The dining room features blue ceramic plates along its walls and cushioned seating, where patrons can feast on fresh Greek-Turkish fare like marinated gilled octopus and an excellent sampler of Mediterranean dips that is perfect for sharing.
