Park Slope is certainly not short on good restaurants, so it takes a little something extra to stand out. Like, say, an excellent lunch special. And it’s hard to beat the deal at Park Slope Greek eatery Okeanos. For a mere $8 you can select the brunch/lunch item of your choice ranging from the Greek burger (served with feta, of course) to a crab cake sandwich, with plenty of seafood options in between, and all are served with deliciously cripsy fries, aioli for dipping, and a side salad. I tried the special of the day — the grilled soft-shell crab sandwich — a delightfully summery dish (and certainly worth an extra $4, seeing as it was the special). Wonderful food aside, Okeanos is a fantastic restaurant for warm weather. The floor-to-ceiling windows open wide, allowing plenty of fresh light and air into the dining space, and letting out right onto a scenic part of 7th Ave. We stopped in during the street fair last month, and it felt like the party extended right into the restaurant. If you’re strolling through Park Slope on a lovely summer day, don’t overlook the seafood-heavy menu at Okeanos.
