The slick Greek estiatorio on the northern edge of the Financial District bears no trace of the motherland’s economic distress. Under graceful arches, clusters of Brooks Brothers suits and loose-tied management teams recline in ample banquettes, BlackBerrys carefully placed at wrist level beside heavy cloth napkins. Last July, Andreas Antoniou, a rookie restaurateur, overhauled Mediterra, his father’s stuck-in-1996 dining room, instantly upping the standard of Greek food in the city. The wholeheartedly Hellenic menu is executed with a light touch by long-time Mediterra chef Reza Parsia, who turns out impeccably timed seafood: grilled Moroccan octopus, gently charred on the outside and velvety on the inside; giant sea scallops so impossibly caramelized, rich and sweet they belong on a pescatarian dessert menu. And the best part? You leave feeling satisfied yet light of step like you’re on an Aegean holiday, instead of garlic-logged like you’re trundling home from the Danforth. Mains $18–$33.
