Mandolin Aegean Bistro

A whitewashed garden bistro serving sun-drenched Greek and Turkish cooking.

Mandolin turns a converted Buena Vista house into a slice of the Aegean, all blue shutters and leafy courtyard. The food is bright and simple — meze, grilled fish, village salads. Sit outside and stay a while.

Best for: A long lunch under the trees, Aegean-style
