Ever since this placed over couple of years ago I  have had a inkling to go but never a chance. This little section of Sheepshead Bay has alot of great Restaurants and usually lost out to Randazzos or Il Forneto etc etc.

Very different Greek restaurant, no Souvakis or Any real chicken/beef dishes. A few lambs choices.almost entirley Seafood Oriented with really fresh (almost flapping) fish  If you like they even bring out the fish of your choice, kinda of a nice throw back that is very refreshing.  in addition with almost clock like precision in the middle of the room another waiter sets a dish on fire and ignites a three foot flame (some sort of flambe)

Salads, fish, and spreads are worth the trip. Very nice refreshing (in a retro way) Greek Rest who actually cooks opposed to frying everything.

I will go back when I am in the mood for fish. Location is great with the Bay Inlet to walk by after dinner. Decor is well GREEK.

Bon Apetite

It's a whole new Brooklyn over here.  I mean, it's different than most of the Brooklyn the majority of people see.  If visitors come this way, they usually stop around Brighton Beach and eat at a Russian eatery.  This is the land of fishing trips and party boats and pricey houses over the water.  

We stopped here because we were in between the aquarium and dropping a friend off at JFK.  We were hungry, and so we went to Yiasou for a late lunch.  Two of us had salads (very generous) and we all split the Greek dips with pita bread (also very generous).  My husband got the lamb and ouso in a clay pot entree.  It was very filling and very tasty, according to him.    They provided a high chair for the poobah, and everyone was very friendly and pleasant.  

One amusing scene occurred when a woman came in, sat down, and began looking over the menu.  She apparently wanted something more "American" because we overheard the waiters saying that she left because there weren't any fried potatoes and hamburgers on the menu.  A derisive "Americans!" followed.  I found this funny, but also odd.  Aren't most of their customers Americans?  I'd expect so, but you never know.  

I wouldn't come back here JUST to eat at Yiasou, but I'd definitely keep it in mind in case we decide to hang out in Manhattan Beach sometime in the future.
