- EelissaVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •20 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoLast night was my third time signing at Mykanos, each time has been a delight. - food: we've had the pasticcio, moussaka, branzino, flatbread, roasted cauliflower, zucchini balls, octopus and more. Each was delicious. The pita is not impressive but it's free. I think my favorite so far are the pasticcio and moussaka, as well as zucchini balls - they are so light and fluffy! - service- polite and prompt - ambiance: I much prefer the inside as it's a bit chilly and basic outside. However the noise level inside is a bit to high for me, outside you can at least hear your table mates - prices are not cheap. Prepare to put down some cash, but I think it's worth it for a special night our.More infoMykonos MezePrice: Moderate• Greek• Burlingame•4.8
