Over the weekend, got a chance to stop at Estia -- a Greek Taverna & Bar -- located at 507 Southeast Mizner Blvd, Boca Raton, Florida.
Here's an exterior shot:

Dolmades Avgolemono -- stuffed grape leaves with ground beef, rice and herbs topped with egg lemon sauce -- $9.95
(Wasn't my favorite course. The sauce was overpowering.)
Lamb Shank -- slow cooked in an aromatic red sauce with orzo -- $18.95
(The lamb was a bit stringy, and slightly over-salted. The orzo was over-cooked and lacked any crunch or texture.)
Mousaka -- eggplant, potatoes, ground beef and bechamel sauce -- $14.96
(Pleasantly surprised by the subtlety of that dish. Not overly spiced or salted.)
Ended the meal with some great Bougatsa -- oven baked phyllo dough filled with custard cream topped with powdered sugar and cinnamon -- $7.95
(A nice finish.)
