It may seem counterintuitive, but It's Greek to Me makes perfect sense. After all, who doesn't enjoy a nicely presented taste of the Mediterranean? This tiny Brookline eatery dishes up savory stuff in a space bright with tasteful touches: whitewashed walls, rustic landscape paintings, candelabras and jars filled with vegetables and homemade salad dressings. Don't bother checking your watch before showing up; the restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and it remains open late for famished night owls. Begin your midday or evening meal with the mazza plate -- a sampling of Greek delicacies including tabouli, hummus, baba ghanoush and stuffed grape leaves. Then, feast on the gyro or shish kabob platter, which comes with marinated olives, feta cheese and warm pita. Other popular dishes include spinach pie and souvlaki. Want wine with that? Bring your own bottle for a pitch-perfect match to your meal, then punctuate your feast with a piece of rich baklava, made from walnut or pistachio. If you prefer the comfort of your own home, there's hope: It's Greek to Me delivers free to addresses in the neighborhood. The only thing this spot won't do, it seems, is book you a flight to Athens.
