Mesa Greek Cuisine, Abbotsford by Obelix

Looking for a decent place for Saturday night catch up with interstate friends, we opted for Mesa for dinner for a Greek feast.  It turned out to be fortuitous random choice as the food did not disappoint and the service was convivial without being disruptive to good conversation.

It seemed most patrons at Mesa chose their set menu and we followed suit.  It was $50 per person excluding drinks.  Instead of ordering a down scaled set menu for Kiddo, she chose a plate of chargrilled octopus instead and picked at whatever else we had.

We started with five entrees to nibble at:

A trio of dips (baba ghanosh, tzatziki and taramasalata) with accompanying bread.  There was a shortfall of bread to go with the dips.  We were so busy chatting we didn't ask for more bread but it would have been nice to have been offered more considering the amount of dips left over.  Ditto with the slow cooked lima beans, would have been nice to have more bread to sop it up with. Rissoles.  Oooh, these were very nice and meltingly tender.   

Saganaki.... you can't go wrong with pan fried cheese...

...Not enough bread...

...Whitebait. These were my favourite.  So crunchy and lightly spiced. 

Here is Kiddo's chargrilled octopus.
