Christakis Greek Cuisine — Restaurant in Tustin

This is one of my favorite greek restaurant in Orange county. I did miss the hostess of the restaurant in this visit. She made a big difference as in the past she offered a glass of greek wine and that would do it to have me order one. They have this fish caviar spread that is on the menu but have not been available for a while. The waiter explained that he suggested to management to remake the menu but havent done it yet. Everything was good .calamari and lamb on skewers.. somehow though i felt they dont have a head chef anymore. My greek coffee was terrible as 1,/3 of the cup was grounds. I expect some grounds as my friends coffee had much less. Again the waiter made excuses that there is one pot to make and sometimes it come out uneven between the two cups. Really..i make bialetti to siphon coffee at home...never would do this. After showing him how much ground i had..he did not even offer to take it off the bill. I will make one more visit in the future. Hopefully they improve in all points stated or will look for another greek...

Came for lunch and were seated outside per our request. It was a surprisingly pleasant day out if you were sitting in the sun, which we did for that purpose.

The server was excellent - when we asked what he would recommend as first-timers, he asked us what we had envisioned prior to our visit, and took our thoughts on that and turned them into perfect suggestions.

We got the Trio appetizer with Yelp, and while it was a bit small, it was absolutely delicious - truly a perfect combination. For our entrees, I had the chicken kleftiko, which was very comforting and filling, while my partner had the moussaka, which they stated was also equal parts comforting and filling. They did mention that they're used to having tomatoes/tomato sauce with their moussaka, which this lacked, but they still sung its praises all the same.

We're rarely in this part of Tustin, but we both agreed that we'd happily come out of our way to...
