Dining Out: Esperia Grill

In the heart of Brighton Center lies a hidden gem. Just beyond the intersection of Market Street and Washington Street, next door to the Dunkin Donuts, is Esperia Grill. Unlike it's neighboring restaurants (Porter Belly's, Devlin's and Green Briar), Esperia Grill is set back from the street, behind a parking lot (which is so narrow it's really more like a designated area for bumper cars).

I have lived in Brighton for three years and only discovered Esperia Grill a few weeks ago, thanks to one of my best college friends. She has lived in Brighton since we graduated and she has been singing the restaurant's praises for quite some time. Last night, to cap off our superb Memorial Day weekend, we headed to Esperia Grill for dinner.

The decor in the restaurant is super casual. Most of Epseria Grill's business is take-out or delivery, so you see many people coming and in out of the front door.

We were seated at a table in the back left corner of the restaurant, right next to the prepared food display case. I couldn't stop looking at the stacks of cookies!

I was also distracted by an additional guest at our table:

We were greeted by a very friendly server who was attentive throughout the meal. For dinner I ordered the grilled veggie gyro special, which also came with Greek salad. The gyro was delicious! The best gyro I've ever had was at a Greek place on the river in Savannah, GA, but this was a close second.

My dinner date ordered the Greek salad with a side of two falafel balls. She said everything was fresh and super tasty. To accompany our dinner, our waiter also brought us a basket of pita bread.

I couldn't help but take notice of Esperia Grill's finger licking good Greek salad dressing, which I noticed on our way out, they sell by the bottle! Note to self.

If you're looking for a quick, easy, inexpensive but delicious dinner, Esperia Grill is a perfect choice.
