'Mykonos' menu combines classic Mediterranean favorites with a local flair,' he said. 'Guests can expect to taste the finest locally sourced ingredients and exceptional hospitality during their visit.' The menu is separated into small and large plates. One of the starter specialties on the menu is the peach stracciatella salad with roasted pistachios, mint and basil, which is drizzled with a peach vinaigrette. The beef carpaccio makes use of roasted pistachios, too, along with a Dijon aioli, capers and pomegranate seeds. Both items fall under the category of chef recommendation, along with truffle tuna tartar with lemon crème fraîche, truffle and lavash bread and hummus with spiced beef, served with caramelized onions, roasted pine nuts and pita chips. Other recommended items include grilled Spanish octopus, Chilean sea bass with saffron cream and sautéed mushrooms and herb marinated lamb lollipops that are served with grilled asparagus. Mykonos also aims to be a nightlife destination, with a cocktail menu that features drinks like the Pineapple Express (grilled pineapple-infused tequila-mezcal blend, Cointreau, cardamom bitters and lemon juice) and Hera's Garden (gin, bergamont, elderflower thyme syrup, lemon and soda).
