CAPITOL HILL
Starting this month Vios begins a transformation that will take it from kid-friendly fine Greek restaurant and marketplace to kid-friendly fine Greek restaurant and marketplace with brunch, a larger dining area catering to different types of diners (large groups and couples), and an expanded retail space with more local and imported artisanal goods and to-go offerings. Owner Thomas Soukakos told Seattle Times Rebekah Denn that kid friendliness reached a point that kidless diners felt out of place. Change is a good thing.
