Greek, Seafood Restaurant Effie's Intimate Washington West BYOB for basic Greek fare that always satisfies. The Scene Bordering an alley in the middle of Antique row, Effie's narrow dining rooms are simple and crowd easily. In a small open kitchen whole fish and slices of pita share a grill.
Service is genuine, friendly and fast.
The Food You could order nothing but a horiatiki salad, a hulking mound of romaine lettuce, fresh feta, green kalamata olives, hard-boiled egg and cucumber, and leave fully satisfied. But then you'd miss out on the crunchy calamari, tender and sweet grilled octopus or a whole grilled snapper that tastes like camping. Earthy souvlaki comes on lightly grilled pita bread or stuck alongside peppers and onions on skewers. Outdoor Dining Get there early, with bottle of chilled Chenin Blanc in hand, for a seat on the patio. User Reviews Current avg.
