Greek god seen in a restaurant (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ares

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'greek god' is the definition.
(Ares is an example)

'a restaurant' is the wordplay.
'restaurant' becomes 'res' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'res'='ARES'

'seen in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ares that I've seen before include "Greek god of war" , "War-god" , "Belligerent god" , "figure of worship" , "Olympian" .)
