I have driven by this restaurant countless times, but never really even thought about ever trying out. The restaurant is located in Richmond, a city full of authentic Asian cuisine. Why would anyone thought of trying Greek food?
Hummous + Pita bread |
I googled. Felico came up with great reviews. This is the place then.
Greek Salad |
There's the very basic hummous + pita bread. Then there's the Greek salad. Then came a shared platter of things which I don't know what they are. But here's some of what was on the plate:
Satziki // Kalamaria - Deep fried squid // Chicken Souvlaki // Lamb Souvlakia // Dolmades - Ground sirloin and rice wrapped in grape vine leaves with avgolemono sauce // Spanakopita - Spinach, feta cheese, onions, baked in filo pastry // Keftedes - Ground sirloin meatballs, onion
Then, for some tummy fillers to ensure we will be full, if not already, there's our individual plate of: Rice // Roast Potatoes // Seasonal Vegetables
Portions were huge. I could not finish it. Judy could not finish it. One observation that both Judy and I had was that Greek food is not aesthetically appealing. They all had a very dark, tonal colour to it. The entire platter was either brown or black. This is not to say that the food wasn't tasty. Just that you're always surprised by the aromatic taste despite the "low key"presentation.
Felicos serve decent food, but I really have to say that the service was extremely good. The ambient was very welcoming, and warm. I could enjoyed myself just as much if I were to just sit on their open patio on a warm sunny afternoon, with a pint of beer in my hand. I would go back.
