When the space became available at 1612 Post Road, James Karageorge, “Jimmy”, saw the opportunity to open a Greek restaurant that was surely missed by the Fairfield community after Europa Restaurant was sold. Jimmy wanted to bring back a place where people can come to enjoy his Greek specialties and feel that Greek philotimo again. “Philotimo encompasses the concepts of pride in self, pride in family, pride in community, and doing the right thing.”

From Europa Restaurant and then opening Captain’s Pizza and Black Forest Restaurant in Shelton, Jimmy can attribute his successful entrepreneur ethos and ethics to his late father, George Karageorge. Besides serving traditional Greek dishes and soups, Lantern Point Taverna is grilling up Greek style fresh fish and baby lamb chops “latholémeno” and introducing new items like Dakos, the Greek bruschetta, Portokalopita, an orange flavored sponge cake drizzled with honey syrup and many more new Greek specialties and Greek wines that you’ll have to come in and try!
