Frommer's Review
Look for the simple black awning over the narrow passageway that leads from the street to this hidden Aegean treasure. Be sure to ask for a table on the romantic patio amid twinkling lights, and immediately order a plate of their thick, satisfying tsatziki (yogurt-cucumber-garlic spread) accompanied by a basket of warm pita for dipping. Other hearty tavern favorites (recipes courtesy of Sofi's old-world grandmother) include herbed rack of lamb with rice, fried calamari salad, and saganaki (kasseri cheese flamed with ouzo). Sofi's odd, off-street setting, near the Farmers Market in a popular part of town, has made it an insiders' secret.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
