Restaurateur to open new eatery serving American, Greek food
GREENFIELD — The owner of the Lincoln Square Pancake House locations in Greenfield and Fortville plans to open a restaurant serving American and Greek food.
Costas Stylianou said he hopes to open in mid-February at 1020 W. Main St., Greenfield. The building formerly housed Greenfield Family Restaurant, which recently closed.
Throughout the past decade, Stylianou said, people have asked him open a restaurant to serve dinner. His new venture allows him to do just that just down the street from his Lincoln Square Pancake House in Greenfield, he added.
Costas’s Grill, as the new restaurant will be called, will serve Greek food that diners would otherwise have to travel outside the city to get, Stylianou said.
Stylianou is currently working on renovating the restaurant’s kitchen and getting new furniture and decor. It will employ about 10, he continued, adding it will be open 3 to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and 3 to 10 p.m. on Saturdays. It will be closed on Sundays.
