Candia's (Taverna?) is a small Greek-Italian restaurant on West 10th Avenue. Sekke and I decided to go for some food nearer to the end of the exam period, since we were both so sick of campus food that anything, ANYTHING would do, and it had the benefit of being quite affordable.
The decor of the place is...novel. Honestly, it's like being inside of a cuckoo clock. Dark, cabin-like wood everywhere, accented by out-of-place African-looking tapestries, apple topiaries and light in the shapes of vegetables. The table we were seated at was pretty small, and for some reason our seats lacked cushions. It was still pretty comfortable, though.
Our server was new, I presume, since she said she "didn't really know the menu", which...yeah. Anyway, we both got pasta, garlice bread and salad for 8.95. And it was okay, but not exceptional. The salad seemed like it was Kraft dressing poured over lettuce (wet lettuce. Candia? Salad spinner), which frankly is a little shabby. But the pasta was okay, and if they'd screwed up the garlic bread, I doubt they'd still be in business.
Basically, it's not bad, but with so many great, also affordable places along 10th (the pho noodle place, Burgoo, sushi) I'd head somewhere else any day.

Thank you! I've never thought Candia was that good and Mr.I's family always thought it was so great..? Then again, I am not huge into greek food, atleast, not the north americanized kind. Then again, I don't particularly love any of the restaurants on 10th exept for Wabi Sabi, which was nothing short of super cool wicked awesome. Merry Christmas!!
