They use natural organic ingredient where ever available throughout their menu. Comments and suggestions are welcomed.Eva Moon from Eva Moon and the Lunatics and Balkanarama quotes:Egan’s is a lovely little jazz club. Intimate and casual but with a nice menu. The food is artfully presented and tasty and the service was fine. It’s a small place with little tables and booths, so be prepared to be cozy. The salmon with saffron risotto for $17 was fresh and the portion huge, though mine seemed slightly overcooked, the house merlot is very tasty as well. My husband had the steak and said it was delicious and medium rare as he likes it (I didn’t taste it, since I don’t eat beef, but I’ll take his word for it). The focus is on the music and the sound is good and the stage well-lit.
Willow quotes:
If you want something satisfying and filling she recommends the Vegetarian Red Beans and Rice with French bread; your choice are small – $4.50 or large – $6.50; along with a nice hot Ginger Brew (choices cold or hot) – $2.50.

Eva Moon from Eva Moon and the Lunatics and Balkanarama quotes:
The best place we eat (and play) is Georgia’s Greek Restaurant. I’ve eaten in a lot of Greek restaurants and I’ve even spent time in Greece and the food at Georgia’s is up there with the best of them – even though it’s a small, casual, family-run place. They always have interesting specials. Everything’s great, but the octopus appetizer is to die for and the feta-stuffed Macedonian peppers are sublime. They serve Greek wines and beers and they recently started serving Ouzo and Metaxa as well. Yasou!
Editors’ quote:
I have never been to Georgia’s Greek restaurant, however, I have been to Greece and I noticed they list some of my favourites that I had in Greece. Makethonikes Piperyes on the specialities vegetarian platter menu section – Roasted red peppers from Macedonia, stuffed with sheep milk feta, garlic and kalamata olives all for $12.25. Also on the Lunch special menu section; Kotopita – sautéed chicken pie made with fillo, leeks, onions, feta cheese, spinach and eggs for $5.80 and it is worth every penny.
Happy Eating!
