Papadakis Taverna - San Pedro California

Introduction On the southern edge of Los Angeles at 301 West 6th Street (Phone 310548 1186)
Ambience A few Bronze heads of ?family members wear medallions praising the restaurant. It's a very warm welcoming family restaurant
Service Very friendly
Food Tadziki and a bean paste appear with the bread Entrees (mains) are huge, good standard , domestic quality and accompanied by soup (chicken or lentil) and a Greek salad. I did not think it much mattered if you ordered veal, They bring the meat and fish on a glad wrapped tray for inspection
Both the cheese cake and the coconut sorbet were pleasant and the Greek style coffee in a full size cup, excellent
There is a bit of showmanship starting with the gratis Cheese starter flamed at the table and later the host and waiter do Zorba's dance finished with a glass of wine smashed on the stone floor as soon as it was emptied. Then a well rounded scantly dressed young lady belly dances around the tables collecting folding money tucked under her garments by the men
Wine You can bring your own for about $25/bottle Their's by the glass was less than ordinary
Price Around US$35/ person
Comments Packed on weekends Reservations essential
