ALTAMONTE SPRINGS. This family-run establishment has all the charm and exuberance you'd expect from a houseful of relatives. Everyone pitches in, and the experience is richer for the many contributions. This place isn't elaborate, but it serves great food in a terrific atmosphere. Souvlaki, a Greek kebab, is juicy and tender and comes accompanied by rice; the chicken is also delicious, infused with garlic and lemon juice. In fact, just about everything you order will meet approval, whether it be dolmades or the tangy yogurt-based tzatziki sauce that's a Mediterranean classic. You may have to wait for a table occasionally, but for fantastic food at affordable prices, the effort's not much to make. Reservations accepted. Smart casual dress.

Animated but relaxed, Olympia delivers a lively dining experience and a host of satisfying dishes. Based on family recipes and inspired by travel, the menu offers classic Greek fare, including roast lamb and spanakopita, a sort of spinach pie. Although many of the entrees are comprised of substantial ingredients, the resultant dishes are never heavy or unappealing. Instead, they're delicious and well prepared, worthy of their Greek heritage. As an added bonus, belly dancers perform on Friday and Saturday evenings. Reservations accepted for groups. Smart casual attire.
