At my cousin's bridal shower I discovered one of her friends is a waitress at Trak's and several other friends recommended it recently. Last night while talking to Luke and Marc at Flemings, they recommended it also. Bob and I saw that as a sign we needed to try Trak's. We are glad we did.
Located in a strip mall on Quioccassin just west of Starling, Trak's is a true neighborhood place. We quickly determined we were two of the few non-regulars having dinner last night. It is decorated with lots of small lights, and grapes and silk plants.....just what you want and expect from a Greek-Italian place.
As luck would have it our waitress was my cousin's friend Megan. Bob had a Greek beer and I had a glass of Pinot Grigio while reviewing the extensive menu of Greek and Italian favorites.
We decided on the Spanakopita (spinach pie) served with tzakiti for $7.95. Filled with spinach and dill, they were just as expected and the thick tangy tzakiti was some of the best I've ever had (and yes I took what was left home).
For entrees I went to a favorite of mine, Pastichio, for $14.95 and upgraded to a Greek salad for an additional $1.50. Pasta tubes baked and topped with meat sauce, bechamel and marinara this was very good and the portion large enough that I have plenty for lunch today. The Greek salad was as expected and very fresh with lots of feta and a tangy homemade dressing.
Bob chose the Beef & Lamb Gyro Dinner for $14.95. This was served with a basic rice pilaf and Bob upgraded to the Greek salad as well. I tried a couple of bites of the Gyro and it was very, very good and could easily become a lunchtime standard. With dinner we had a bottle of Demestica Red (Greece) for $29.50. Light and dry, it went well with both dishes.
Megan did a wonderful job of making us feel like a regular while answering our numerous questions. I look forward to my next trip there. http://www.traksrichmond.com/
