   Taverna Khione is our favorite restaurant in The midcoast area and one of our favorites in Maine! We love how their menu changes often and every dish we’ve had has been delicious.

   Taverna khione was a nice restaurant with good food. However, I have never been to a restaurant where when asked to split the check and told we don't do that here, well they lost me as a client. I understand when a client asks to have something changed in their plate, or asks for extras and the response is we are not able to do that. But a simple request to give to separate checks and told no, well that's not very good customer service. They obviously have enough customers to make money, so they don't need me.

   A true gem off the beaten path. Quality items, thoughtfully created and beautifully presented. The wine list could intimidate if not familiar with Grecian vintners, but recommendations were spot on.

   We shared a delicious roasted lamb shank with orzo in a tasty tomato sauce. A perfect dish for a cold February evening. I also had a very good taramasalata appetizer. Our waitress, was just terrific and very cordial, and was quite helpful in providing both of us with a taste of a couple of wines to settle on what we’d like to have. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

   The four of us ate appetizers and dessert, no entree. Everything was authentically Greek (we know and love Greek food) and delicious!! Our waitress was terrific-- friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We especially enjoyed the lamb meatballs with pine nuts and aromatics! We'll be back!! Outstanding!

   On a cold Tuesday night four of us gathered for an early dinner at the Taverna. The waitress was gracious and accommodating. The wine list is extensive and excitingly different. We selected a delicious red wine from Peloponnese, from Abelon Winery and sipped that with dips ( tzatziki, a feta and hot and sweet pepper, taramasalata) served with grilled and charred peasant bread brushed with oil. We sampled a baked filo pie filled with braised leeks, feta and dill was rich, with alLucious creaminess and flaky pastry, a Greek white bean soup with vegetables and herbs, a Pastitsio of pasta, béchamel, and classic cinnamon, tomato beef combination. The sides chosen were warm herb roasted beets which were beautifully sweet and savory, melt in your mouth roasted potatoes, infused with fresh lemon, and a platter of perfectly baked delicata squash rings. What a treat to explore so many unique flavors, colors and textures of what felt like super healthy options. The menu is al la carte and we could have also chosen halibut, lamb shanks, or chops, sea bass, and so much more. One diner enjoyed a dark NA Portland produced local beer. Desert was the classic baklava that was prepared with a top and bottom file crust filled with cinnamon scented walnut mixture, and a slice of yellow cake dotted with fruity cherries and topped with a cherry juice drizzle. The cherries used were just beautiful in flavor. Tiny vintage cups of Turkish coffee were strong and black and slightly sweetened with honey. The Taverna is a cozy cafe just off Main St in Brunswick, surprisingly simple and elegant at once. We were told by the server they sell their imported wines through a wine club and host wine pairing dinners. We plan to return often.

    Delicious! Lamb was tender and not strong. Sea bass was spot on. Wine and desserts were wonderful. Can't wait to return!
