Translating literally as the Greek word for "six," EXY sits across the street from the Ivy Hotel, in the former LG's Steakhouse site at 6th and F on the outskirts of the Gaslamp District, serving a fusion of Mediterranean cuisine in a sophisticated restaurant and lounge setting. The southern half of the ground floor is dedicated to smooth, minimalist décor; the hanging lights and tulle window coverings give for a very mellow, spacious feeling. On the northern side, a more traditional and formal restaurant seating area resides, although it doesn't lose its class.
The Mediterranean inspired menu at EXY includes dishes like the Cretan Bread Salad, a mixture of feta, croutons, baby greens, sweet onions, basil, and tomatoes, or the Grilled Octopus, resting on a bed of arugula and red onion salad. For a classic Greek favorite, try EXY's spin on moussaka, the Moussaka Ravioli filled with lamb and vegetables.
