We were wonderfully surprised when we found out Petros Benekos was remodeling and taking over the restaurant at the Fess Parker Inn. Being that we had ate at Petros ManhattanBeach and loved the food we were very excited.
When it was time for us to do our tasting we were greatly surprised as well. They served us full portions of everything we wanted to try as well as wine parings. Everything was so good we decided to have our rehearsal dinner at Petros as well.
Knowing that the salad we choose was amazing we decided to serve it both nights as a sneak preview on Friday to those attending. We also served a few different flatbread pizzas which I crave all the time now. One was a vegan option loaded with delicious veggies, another was the Kafteri Chichken Pizza and then, my favorite, the Lamb Pizza.
For our reception we decided on several appetizers including spanakopita & grilled pita with various dips. We choose a peach arugula salad that is drizzeled in Greek honey. It is remarkable! And for our entree selections we served the following options: filet mignon served with asparagus, mashed potatoes and a Roquefort sauce, pan seared halibut served with fresh vegetables and Greek rice pilaf and our final option was a vegetable pasta with zucchini, red and yellow peppers, broccolini, asparagus, and horta served with a tomato, olive oil and herb sauce. Each of the dishes were OUTSTANDING. Petros used the freshest ingredients. All of our friends and family members commented on how it was the best wedding they had been to & the food was SUPERB. We highly recommend all of the food.
To be quite honest with you our experience with Petros was delightful and they helped make our wedding very memorable.
