Melina

Modern design and generous cooking are at play at this Greek dining room at Pike & Rose. Butterflied branzino, with smoky tarama and lemony ribbons of zucchini, has the perfect ratio of crisp skin to flaky flesh. The signature slow-cooked lamb neck comes with so many embellishments—pita, pickled onions, roasted peppers, mint-ginger tzatziki—that it arrives on a wooden tray. Cocktails such as a mix of Greek gin, tea, and herb-infused honey are a draw, and the happy-hour menu is a real deal.
