"DINING OUT Fans of Greek dining spots rave about their faves." cover story by Nancy Leson, Seattle Times food writer. "Elsewhere in Greenwood, a cry goes up for Yannis. Many echo the sentiment of those who say the rotisserie chicken is excellent, but so is everything else on the menu," citing ample portions at reasonable prices and staff that "know the customers and remember you when you come back-even if it's months later."
