The desserts were good but somehow they’re missing that extra something to make it memorable.

I wonder if it's similar to ricotta gnocchi? The desserts all look great and varied, versus the typical desserts found in typical restaurants. It's interesting that the sorbet was a bit savory.

Everyone seems to shower Anthos with praise in the press; makes me second guess the stuff I read. And I went to an indian restaurant for RW and basically the menu was the same and I just ordered from the regular menu. If they could just come up with a top ten list of RW menus... And Happy Lunar New Year to you too! :) Sorry to hear that your meal was a disappointment. Everyone seems to shower Anthos with praise in the press; makes me second guess the stuff I read.

Modern interpretation of Greek Food is being a trend at the moment. In Athens several restaurants try to reinvent traditonal Greek dishes, or use Greek ingredients for totally new creations and also fusion food. I remember Restaurant 48 in Athens using Mastixa (gum from the mastik tree) as an icecream flavor. The most impressing modern Greek dish to me was the calamari pesto at Varoulko. The calamari are cut so that they look like spaghetti and covered with a mild pesto. Never had such tender and tasty calamari before. Here's my review of Varoulko http://blindtasting.twoday.net/stories/1896736/ and here's a blog with a Pic of the dish http://rwapplewannabe.wordpress.com/2008/02/01/varoulko-restaurant-athens/ Regards, Alex Nice review, beautiful pics as always.
