Top of the Town 2012

Too often, the kids’ menu is awash in chicken fingers and macaroni and cheese. Not at Axios Estiatorio, a 10-month-old Greek restaurant in Berkeley. Instead, children choose between tender chicken kabobs with garlicky Greek rice, a hummus and pita plate plied with vegetables, and a mini, tzatziki-spiked gyro. This family dining spot also serves terrific grown-up food like souvlaki, moussaka, and spanakopita, which is totally worth an adults-only trip, too. 3901 Tennyson St., 720-328-2225, axiosdenver.com
