It's often true that those who need help most, don't ask. At GoS we'd like to make the difference. Why? There are many reasons. 1) Because they need help. 2) Because we care for those in need. 3) Because we need to keep staff employed, 4) Because we need to keep stock rotated and fresh. 5) Because we need to keep our suppliers/delivery in service. IT'S a WIN WIN no MATTER how you look at it! So Please, if you are ordering from GoS, let us KNOW of a friend, neighbor or family member that needs and extra hug of support and we will ADD a CARE package that you will deliver!

There she goes! Our own Sophia, 7 years old when we first opened the Gardens of Salonica, will be leaving to Greece for an unspecified time. Long time default Manager, Sophia will be missed dearly by her family as well as the entire staff who refers to her as, "little Mother."

We knew right away that the Gardens is a hot
spot first date place by the comments our customers made and by the
frequency of "First Dates" leading to weddings, but last night, to our
knowledge, the first proposal AND acceptance was exchanged between
Oscar and Natalia, a favorite former server ...at the Gardens. It was a
proud and exciting moment and some of us couldn't help but hovering in
anticipation. Here they share a complimentary bottle of Agiomino, the
beautiful Agiorgitiko (St George) grape aged 12 months in new French
oak.

On Tuesday, the Gardens hosted Jim & John's purchased donation package: Mezethes/Krasi/Horos benefiting Milkweed Publications. What is Mezethes? Krasi? Horos? Mezethes is the plural of Meze: an appetizer traditionally served
