Plaka Grill, Maggios's & Skorpios, or Vaso's Kitchen?

We usually have a routine, but today we wanted to change it up a bit. Last week we needed to go to Vienna, Virginia and tried a new restaurant for lunch and quite liked it. So I went home and looked up the top ten restaurants in Vienna, thinking we might give them a try for either lunch on Friday, or dinner on Sunday evening. Since we both like Greek, and two of the most mentioned Greek places were Maggio's & Skorpios and Plaka, we headed out today to try one of them. We first stopped at Plaka.  As soon as we stepped in the door, we knew we wouldn't like it because it was an order at the counter type place. That reminds me of McDonald's - which is fine for travel - but not for this day or time. So we left and drove to Maggio's. It looked a bit more promising, but as soon as we walked through the front door there, we were met with the same environment - order at the counter. Being frustrated by that twice, we decided to drive back to one of our favorite routine spots in Alexandria to Vaso's Kitchen - formerly in the Dixie Pig BBQ establishment. It's never a bad idea. It's a great sit down typical Greek place with enough food to bring home for dinner tonight. So much for a change in routine. But it was a nice ride to Vienna.
