Yes, Samos is a Greek restaurant on Oldham (off Eastern Avenue) which is the Greektown section of Baltimore. They don't have a liquor license so charge $2.00 per person! corkage (which they may not have even put on our bill.) We always order the "Tour of Samos" which went up this time from under $19 to $22.50 per person. It includes pita bread with Tzatziki (that dip is addictive),
shrimp, I believe some calamari, chicken on skewers, lamb, potato wedges, dolmas (grape-leaf dish that is not a favorite with Brappy or me) and probably some other things I am forgetting and apple fritters or other sweet dessert. It is delicious and copious quantities. (I forgot to mention the salad at the start of the dinner.)

Brappy (Mark) and Harriet got there early to assure a table. They usually have takeout but when they get really busy they put out a sign--No takeout. They had a line of people waiting for tables partway through the evening (on a Thursday night). I looked up and remarked "There's a line for tables" and one of the guys said "Yes, out the door and do you think I care!" We were there about four hours and no one on the staff tried to rush us out so they could turn over the table.
