My Review of Kouzzina About This Page:

[Wendyismyname]

Go. Do it. Don't be afraid.

My dining partner Angie(Poohsgirl) and I decided to split everything we ordered and so we did. Crazy good.

Okay. Here's what we ordered and I'm sorry that I do not have photos with me, but as soon as I ask her for them, I'm sure she'll get them to me! I think she took pictures anyway! LOL!!

First her wine flight:
Greek Isles Flight $15.00

Sigalas, Assyrtiko Blend, Santorini - Lean and crisp, citrus blossoms, Asian pear and fig, lots of minerality and bright citrus acidity

Argyros, Atlantis White, Santorini - 100% Assyrtiko shows white blossoms, refreshing and crisp blend of lemons and limes, pears with bracing acidity

Enoteca Emery, Athiri, Rhodes - Bright and clean with lemon, green melon, and white peach

They were all good. I stuck with water.

Then we went with the starters and they serve these as they become ready and they encourage you to dig in and share. No problem with us as that was our plan the entire trip.

Kouzzina Spreads - Harissa Yogurt, Kalamata Fig, and Chickpea Hummus with Grilled Pita---very good and my first time trying Greek "dips". I can't pick which was number one for me!

Goat Cheese-stuffed Grape Leaf - Large Grape Leaf filled with Herbed Goat Cheese
and Grilled-----OMG a real CO!! So good SO GOOOOOOODDDDD!!

Saganaki - Seared Haloumi Cheese with Lemon and Oregano--- fried cheese, very very good especially once we squirted lemon on it. okay, squeezed sounds better than squirting

The reason I was so excited to go to Kouzzina was the side dishes. Where else in the World can you find Beets and Brussel Sprouts?? I can't think of any other place!! I didn't want to order a heavy entree either so went with:

Char-grilled Lamb Burger - with Olives, Feta, and crisp Sweet Potato Fries
OH my goodness, a perfect size to share with someone, it's 8oz, it's SPICY with the Harissa but not HOT like a bunch of Jalapenos. Does that make sense?? The sweet Potato fries were a great compliment and a first for me!

Sautéed Brussels Sprouts - with Capers and Lemon wow were they good!! I want to go back in March just for these again!

Chilled Salt-roasted Beets - with Skordalia These come out looking like a dessert! I'm not sure what Skordalia was but it was delicious.


We left plenty of food behind, except the sprouts and best of all............


We met CAT CORA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !


She was doing seminars at Epcot and she came in and chatted with everyone and took pictures and then sat down with her mom and family. Very very cool!!

If you get the chance but are kind of nervous about trying the food there--i'll admit that when I read it I was worried that my family wouldn't care for it--go, try it. Start by just ordering appetizers, if you find your family just don't care too much for it, then politely tell the server you'd like the bill and take off and hit the ice cream shop next door! But I really think that even my pickiest eater will enjoy this place!!

[saremca]

YUM! I cannot wait to try Kouzzina in May. Greek food is probably my favorite ethnic cuisine. Thanks for the good review!

[Wolfhunt]

We have an ADR there for our first night and I am excited to try it. Glad you liked it and very cool that Cat Cora was there. Hope we get that lucky.

Thanks for the review. Sounds delish

[mavisdavis]

YUM! I'm having breakfast there in December, can't wait!
How was the ambiance?

[Wendyismyname]

It was bustling. I'm not sure if everyone was on their toes because they knew she was coming in that night or if that's the standard MO but the service was great, timely. I didn't notice any change from Spoodles except personal touches.

Hey Marnie--I don't know what happened to my photos I had on here??

[lazanya]

Thanks for the review Wendy! How cool you got to meet Cat Cora! I can't see your pics.

[Mauimouse]

Thanks for the review. I want to try this restaurant at some point. Sounds yummy.

[WHMom]

Thanks so much for the review! I was really looking forward to trying it in December, but now I'm super-excited!! Can't wait to see the pics!

[qesue]

Sounds delicious! Thanks for the review!

[dworldluver]

Great that you were able to meet Cat Cora. I loved this restaurant in Sept. dh was not sure he would but he really enjoyed it and now it is one of his must do's for adult trips. Love the open kitchen and the ompahs that ring out when fire flares up on the grill. The service was good and we were there before the "grand opening" so I think they just did very well in educating and/or staffing for the dinner servers.

Thanks for the review Wendy - now I really can't wait to try this for myself in December!
