By way of a recommendation, while visiting Tarpon Springs we
went to Costa’s for lunch three years ago. We found ourselves in that neck of
the woods again and went back for a second time (and I believe we each ordered
the same thing that we did three years prior).
There is a “no frills” ambiance, but also the feeling that
this place has been around for a while consistently serving authentic Greek
Food that keeps people coming back for more. At peak times there can be a wait,
and although the staff is small they seem to have what they do down to a
science. This being said if you are in a hurry I would advise telling them up
front to bring your check when they deliver your food.
Speaking of their Food I decided to get a little of
everything by ordering the Greek Combo Platter (Mousaka, Pastitsio, Gyro Meat,
Dolmades and Tsatsiki Sauce $16.99).
This came with plenty of
Bread and Butter,
As well as my choice of Soup or Salad, where I opted for the
Lemon–Chicken–Orzo Soup.
The platter was good. Both the Mousaka and the Pastitsio
were decent, not the best I have ever had, but good. The generous portion of
Gyro Meat was slightly too greasy for me, but the flavors were spot on. I could
have cared less about the Dolmades, but the Tsatsiki was also very fresh and very
tasty.
My friend had a big platter of Seafood consisting of Smelt
and Octopus and he was thrilled, claiming it to be so fresh. I don’t eat
Seafood, but he sure liked it.
I had a gracious plenty to take home with me, which made for
some great midnight snacking. I think that the next time we go to Costa’s I
will try something else, probably their Spanakopita.
