In January, a pipe broke above Manoli and Katrina Katsanevas’ restaurant on 900 South, a setback that could have shuttered the place. Instead, they took a hiatus and completely retooled, adding enclosed patio space, more seating an expanded bar and storage for their fabulous all-Greek natural wine selection “I am so glad they were able to phoenix from the ashes,” says panelist Lydia Martinez. Reopening in July, Manoli’s didn’t lose a step. The food—traditional Greek dishes with presentation and influence from France, Spain and Italy—is a flavorful tour of Mediterranean cuisine. Manoli and Katrina lead a crew of excellent servers and cooks by example. Most nights you’ll find them on the line or working the front of the house.
