Hey Larry,
Tell me more about Galactobourikos… how is it different? Or do you think it’s the same thing?

The Galacto cake looks like an interesting variation on Galactobourikos (sp?), one of my favorite Greek desserts.

The food sounds good, but I can do wiithout the throng of screaming munchkins (and I like kids).

Hi J,
Thanks for the takeout tip—good to know! I can’t wait to go back and try more of their food.

P.S. While I enjoyed your Queen Anne blog, I’m so happy that you moved into my neck of the woods—I love reading all about my neighborhood on your site!

We told you there’d be lots of kids!!!! I’d recommend against the takeout—Vios seems to do best when you help it out and go with the flow. Takeout is apparently not in the flow—you can wait a long time at night. During the lunch rush, they do just fine with the foot traffic but also seem to stumble with anything out of the ordinary like a phone call :) It’s a busy place!

Maria,
I haven’t ordered from the deli counter, but everything looked great. And I bet if you call ahead you could get take-out from their regular menu.

L, A bar that allows kids? That’s crazy!
Zucchini cakes sound great—I hope they put them back on the menu. I can’t wait to go back and try out more dishes.

I have wanted to try Vios since it’s farily close to where I live: is it easy to do takeout there?

Seems to be the new trend in Montlake, altough I think the kid pit seems more appropriate in Vios than in the Montlake Ale House (a bar with a place for the kids!)

Vios is definitely one of my neighborhood favs. I was sad to see them take off the zucchini cakes which were perfect, but then I’ve loved just about everything on the menu so far. Portions are smaller than you’d get in most restaurants, although I’ve definitely never walked away hungry. Just leaves some room for gelato.
