Just wanted to say that Zorba's is not offering a buffet or is participating in the Greek Week. Went there last night to try it out and service told me that they weren't participating in the Greek Week. Was pretty disappointed.
I will follow up

My partner and I are just back from Zorba's. We went on the strength of the promise of a buffet (didn't see the posting from Anonymous until we got back). They are *not* doing the buffet, but are certainly participating in Greek Week. They are offering a prix fixe platter, which included a very healthy sampling of their offerings. For $16.95, you get a plate heaped with kontosouvli (slow-roasted pork), *really* good grilled octopus,and two smallish but very tasty lamb chops. You also get a choice of two salads and a choice of two side dishes (oven-roasted potatoes or green beans). We both had the beans ... those fabulous Greek green beans, nicely overcooked in tomato sauce. Beverage, baklava (not the best we'd ever had) and coffee are extra...
All in all, a nice time at a reasonable price. We plan to return.
