Goniako Palati (Corner Palace)

Description:

• The new Goniako Palati may not be a palace, but it is on the corner -- a busy corner you overlook once the food arrives. Great canvas awnings cover the seating area, raised above street level. The extensive taverna menu is basic Greek, fresh and skillfully prepared in a slightly upscale environment at reasonable prices. This is one place local New Towners go for reliable, and then some, taverna fare. The grilled swordfish souvlaki, served with a medley of steamed vegetables, is quite tasty. The saganaki (grilled cheese) here is a performance art, and delicious to boot.
