Passion for food at Ardeo on Main Mediterranean eatery aims to impress By Kathleen Szmit Manwar- ing kmanwaring@barnstablepatriot. com KATHLEEN SZMIT MANWARING PHOTO REALIZING A VISION - Joseph Jamiel, Joe to his friends, talks with a customer at the bar in the new Ardeo on Main restaurant in Hyannis. The Main Street venue features Mediterranean tare from across the region, sure to delight one and all. There is a fire burning on Main Street in Hyannis, but don't worry.It's well contained withinthe stone fireplace at the new Ardeo on Main restaurant. Located at 644 Main St., Ardeo, like its South Yarmouth location, is a contemporary, chic eatery where those looking to satisfy cravings for true Mediterranean foods will find culinary nirvana. In 1981 Joe Jamiel and his brother, Geoffrey, had a vision for a Mediter- ranean restaurant where the cuisine would fully represent that part of the world. Ardeo Mediter- ranean Taverna was the crystallization of that vision, offering a diverse sampling of sumptuous Mediterranean fare. The South Yarmouth venue became a popular locale for takeout, in- house dining and simply meeting friends for a drink. Given its success, the two men felt it was time to expand into the hub that is Hyannis. "There is definitely a move afoot to invest in Main Street," said Joe Jamiel from a booth in his newest endeavor. "It is a good time to get involved." With the departure of Sweetwater's from its cov- eted Main Street location, Jamiel seized the oppor- tunity to create Ardeo on Main. "Our concept is a good fit for this type of community," he said. Sadly, just when the new Ardeo was set to open, Geoffrey Jamiel passed away. "I lost my brother the day we were supposed to open," said Jamiel quietly. "He was my partner and chef for nearly 30 years." When the new restau- rant opened on May 1, it was bittersweet for Jamiel "It's definitely not easy," he said. "We miss him every day." Jamiel notes that Geof- frey is everywhere in the venue, though. He is in the restaurant every day," he said. "The foods the come out of the kitchen are his recipes. How he wanted the food present- ed. It's his vision." "Ardeo" is a Latin term that means "fire," or, "to burn." The Jamiel brothers appreciated the relation- ship the term had to fiery passion. "It's a fire that means passion," said Joe. "A real passion for food." It was that passion that led to a menu rich with items from all walks of the Mediterranean. Diners can feast on fare from crisp sal- ads to indulgent entrees. Jamiel prefers the Arti- choke and Spinach Dip served hot with fried Leba- nese bread followed by the Encrusted Chicken Span- ikopita, a boneless chicken breast dusted with bread crumbs and oregano, sauteed and layered in feta cheese, spinach and phyllo dough, accompanied by a light sauce of caramelized onions, sun dried toma- toes, oregano and chicken stock. Salads include the Chicken and Goat Cheese which features in-house roasted chicken and smooth goat cheese on a bed of baby spinach, and the Lamb and Wild Greens with baby greens tossed in a triple onion kalamata vinaigrette with feta cheese, toasted pine nuts, apricots and diced tomatoes. "We use only fresh foods," said Jamiel. "Cheese, nuts, greens. Our chicken is roasted right here in our stone oven. It's a lot of work, a lot of labor. Most people won't go through that process, which is why we stand out." Diners will also enjoy Wood Stone Pizzas, baked in Ardeo 's oven, and pan- nini sandwiches made with home-baked Italian bread. Catering is also available for special events and meetings. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also impor- tant to Joe and Geoffrey Jamiel. While the South Yarmouth location offers bright colors and vibrant artwork, the Hyannis venue features hip ac- cents and art with a more modern flair. "We wanted it to feel the same, but dif- ferent," said Jamiel with a smile. "It's a little more city." The Hyannis hot spot provides two dining areas, a sunroom and a main dining room , as well as a lounge with a sleek copper- topped bar. "It's a small restau- rant , but you get three different feels in the different rooms," said Jamiel. With General Manager Matt Sentes and Head Chef Rob Bono running the show, Jamiel is look- ing forward to a successful sum- mer in the heart of the Cape. He invites folks to stop in for a visit and a meal. "Let the food speak for itself," he said, a gleam of the fire in his eyes. For hours and intormation. call 508-790-1115.
