Our Mama Eugenia and Brix American Bistro

Last week we went to Great Falls Park in Virginia to see the angry Potomac River after weeks of rain. Afterwards we thought we would try a Greek place that we had seen earlier in the month. So we drove to the little shopping mall strip and went in to Brix for lunch. It was very good - the environment was pleasant with an outdoor garden area and the food was good - especially the Greek salad. But something was telling me that this wasn’t the restaurant we intended to go to because I wasn’t seeing Mama Eugenia anywhere - or souvlaki. Wouldn’t you know that we went in to the wrong door! The restaurants are right next to each other and we just went in the first place under the canopy. We weren’t sorry we went there, but I was disappointed that it wasn’t the one we thought it was. So we decided to go again today - just for the ride - and to try Our Mama Eugenia. And we are so glad we did! The food and service was excellent - we even got in to a discussion about Spain since our waiter was from there. As usual we have enough leftovers for dinner tonight, and without having wine for lunch, it’s always a better deal. So now we found two more places to dine out. It’s a bit of a drive but well worth it.
