We went to Kyma on a Friday night with Jenny’s parents. We had traded in our reservation at Floataway Cafe for Kyma after hearing negative things about Floataway.

My initial impression of Kyma was that I was a little disappointed in the interior of the restaurant. Except for the huge greek style pillars in the middle of the restaurant, there wasn’t much else that impressed me. It was all white and just didn’t have any WOW effect. Also, the seats were really hard, like sitting on concrete, which doesn’t make me or my bony ass happy.

Opening the menu, I was initially surprised at the prices. It was certainly pricey, from the appetizers to the salads to the soups.
We started with two appetizers that we all shared. The spanikopita and mussels in a saucey bowl were our choices. The spanikopita was good and was enough for 4 to share, but the $10 mussels that came de-shelled in this feta cheese sauce was not a good share dish with 5 mussels.

Now we must all understand that I am not a fish conossieur or even a fish eater, so this place did not impress me off the bat. Apparently, this is one of the best places to go for fresh fish. This was confirmed by Jenny and the rest of the fam, but I cannot comment here. I ordered the lamb chops. They were good, but again, not enough food for the $35 that they cost us. It’s a little after the fact that we are writing this so………………..let’s just say that the other three all got fish and agreed that they were all extremely fresh and were really good. Mr. Menkes took the waiter’s suggestion and really enjoyed it (actually, I don’t think we heard from him the entire time food was in front of him), so we should all trust the waiter’s suggestions at this place. Safe bet. Safe, like putting the Braves bullpen in charge of the game when we are up by one run. Safe, like putting Blaine Boyer in the game with runner’s in scoring position…….oh, nevermind, I’m just kidding. It is safe to trust the folks at Kyma.

Good people watching spot, kind of expensive, solid fish option, good waiters.
