We met them a few years ago, and they told us that they had to stop using the name "Olympic" due to copyright/trademark law because of the worldwide sports games Olympics. True or not, good story. They also let one of the private schools in Dallas have a Latin banquet there each year, letting the kids wear togas and taking over the place for lunch.

Stratos has only been open for about 5 years at that location. Where was it before? Before that the building was Santa Fe Cabaret, I think. They might have been doing it Greek style in there though too. Also, it might be time to tap the brakes with this intern thing. Diminishing returns. @bill marvel.

I can't testify as to what goes on in the kitchen -- besides some very good cooking -- or in the office or freezer. But the only stripping Ive witnessed was when escargot was, alas!, stripped from the menu. There are belly dancers some nights, but that hardly qualifies as stripping. (Then, maybe I'm jaded.) You may have confused this nifty little neighborhood spot with a former strip club across the street under the same ownership. It burned down and was replaced by a car wash. So not much stripping there. Nancy,
