...Athens and her Greek Orthodox faith. A boldly colored, sparse image of a woman’s face greets visitors as they enter the room. This image, of Gerolimatos’ mother, is one of the 12 original paintings on display. The other brightly colored works, many of which depict Biblical scenes, are hung on the adjacent white walls...

Dim lighting, huge wicker chairs, soft music from a jukebox and lush plants provide a romantic and exotic setting. While the restaurant has been in business for 40 years, renovations have made the bar feel up to date without destroying its timeless elegance. Casablanca’s extensive drink list...
