breaking plates

When we decided to go to dinner Friday night, who knew breaking things was on the menu??

Although we called to delay our reservation at least twice, Mykonos welcomed us when we showed up at midnight. The first thing I noticed, besides the murals of Greek on the wall and the staff dressed in costumes, were broken plates on the ground. We figured we had missed the fun but when we sat down, they handed us each a plate. Not for our appetizers... but to break during their dance show. A few minutes later, the lights dimmed and 2 of the servers worked their way into a dance right in the middle of the dining room floor. This was our cue to get up and break some plates! Opa!



Of course the food was also a highlight of the evening at Mykonos.. the hummus with the warm pita was delicious, as was the tabule, pasta, stuffed grape leaves, and my pita a la pizza - pizza with feta, tapenade, cured ham, and basil.

Mykonos is located at Olleros 1752
