| - Came to eat at Krystos for the first time today during lunch. I felt like eating Greek and didnt want to eat at the typical Mr.Greek.
On the contrary of what other reviews have been for this restaurant, my friend and I actually really enjoyed our meals and we had great service . keep in mind, we were one of the only people in the restaurant at the time, but the server was quick and followed up on us promptly.
I ordered the Gyros Dinner and she ordered the Pork Soulvaki Dinner. We also had a appetizer of the Grilled Calimari. Both of our dishes were very flavorful and hot.
The portion size was also massive -especially my Gyros Dinner. My Gyros was Not dry- the only thing was it's a bit too salty, but I normally do not put a lot of salt on my food anyway so I am being bias by saying it was salty. My friend thought it tasted great. I had a side of rice and fries- because my intention was to take half of my meal home. Actually, I had it for left over dinner as well and I still have food left over - I can usually eat a lot.. So I am surprised at how full I kept getting. My fries were fresh, crispy and no salt on them which was perfect. The rice was standard and expected, but not dry.
My friend's pork dinner , she had rice and vegetables; she got a lot of veggies and she also had taken half of her meal home.
The Grilled Calimari was really good as well. Lots of flavour- does have a quite a bit of butter on it but it was good. It wasn't chewy or dry like a lot of calimari .. And I order calimari quite often from a lot of restaurants. It also did not have a frozen taste to it, which we both were extremely impressed with that. The only minor issue we had was the calimari came out after we received our entrée. It was suppose to be an appetizer, but that was ok after. The portion was also great- 4 full calimari pieces which is usually uncalled for when ordering this.
Overall, we both were content with the food and service today. We would visit again if I am in the area again. We also don't feel the price is unreasonable.
I work in the food industry and sometimes people need to understand the food cost which is associated when running a restaurant. For my $16 dish, I felt my meal was well worth it. I have had much worse service and food at other well-known restaurants which cost me $20-$30 for essentially the same dish.
I hope this restaurant sticks around, but understand the competition they have around them.
