Opened at the beginning of 2010, it's an independent restaurant about a block off the Pinellas Trail, with a kids' obstacle and climbing course with a slide on par with a good McDonald's Playland. Also, there are a couple of coin-op racing games, a full-time adult supervisor and a totally cool EyeStep computer-projected image game where the image on the floor responds to kids' movements. The rest of the dining room is a casual and pleasant space in which to enjoy Vagelis and Karolina Karatzas' food for grownups. They make an excellent hamburger with a range of possibilities, hats off especially to the Greek version with feta and tzatziki. They also serve lovely pastas, a Greek veggie one satisfying with its spinach, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomato, artichokes and lemony-garlicky sauce.
