Taverna Opa on a Friday Night

Kalimera! Hello! Last night the top brass from orlandoescape.com/hotelsescape.comtreated this blogger and his family to fine Greek dining at Pointe Orlando, a shopping, dining, and entertainment complex on International Drive. It was awesome with an exclamation point which means it was ALL RIGHT! The food was excellent, service was cordial and prompt, the belly dancer dancing on the tables with a plate of candles on her head was just over the top fantastic ( and, yes, she was pretty). The beer, Mythos, was a Greek version of Shing-tao which is a Chinese version of Bud-weis-er; i.e. regular beer that tastes great when very cold and when very thirsty. The prices I assume were fine but I wouldn't know since i was a guest of Sunil and irmarie Govind, founders of the phenomenally successful websites listed above and the fast, rising website floridaescape.com.
Hints:
1) Arrive before 7 pm as the restaurant becomes very busy and its first come, first serve
2) Park on the third floor of the parking garage if you are going directly to Taverna Opa; on the first floor if you are goig to visit the shops or hitting the move cinama-plex first
3) The music at the Greek restaturant is very loud; conversation can be strained.
4) The tables are clean in spite of the dancing
5) Don't slip on the napkins on the floor
6) KEEP the PARKING TICKET; Unlike Universal Studios city Walk, you can validate it at participating restaurants in Pointe Orlando (universal Studios: ARE YOU LISTENING?)
For those in the darks, parking at Universal Studios is $11 and they don't validate anything! More Orlando Restaurants
