Where is All of the Great Greek Food in Dallas?

Just after Cristina Daglas reported for duty as the new editor of D Magazine, she asked me where she could find great Greek food. She grew up eating it and spent time living in Greece. I asked for your opinions and from the list you provided, she decided to go to Kostas Café. She wasn’t impressed.

Just after Cristina Daglas reported for duty as the new editor of D Magazine, she asked me where she could find great Greek food. She grew up eating it and spent time living in Greece. I asked for your opinions. You certainly came through. From a list of 78 comments, she decided to go to Kostas Café. She was not impressed.

She found the menu puzzling: it was missing staples (pastitsio, skordalia, keftedes) and bread was served with butter, not olive oil. Tzatziki was all garlic, no cucumber. The horiatiki salad was a sad mix of less-than-ripe components, and the spanakopita, though served with a wonderfully flaky phyllo exterior, turned to a flavorless spinach mixture curiously devoid of feta cheese. Her rant continues here.

Anybody out there beg to differ? Or have more suggestions?
