Realizing “The Greek by Anatoli” was the collective brainchild of Iani and Alexi Makris. Longstanding successful restauranteurs, Iani and Alexi brim with a perfect mix of creativity and business savvy. Synthesis Design was fortunate to have been involved in the planning and design stages, taking our cues from the energetic and dynamic brothers. Iani and Alexi seem to know what each other is thinking before words are spoken and we were doing our best to keep up! Their unique design style fit provocatively within the walls at 221 Carrall Street and created a buzz before it was even complete. “The Greek by Anatoli” came into fruition extremely quickly as concept to opening occurred in only a few months. I think they thrived on the pace. Joel from Barrett Group of Custom Builders managed the construction and along with the collaboration of Bloom for custom furniture and furnishings, and the many others involved, this restaurant came to life. Working with talented clients who not only have a collective vision, but the talent to back it up, is inspiring.
