| - I usually only bother to review restaurants when they really disappoint as there are plenty of rave reviews going around. I really want to save people from wasting their money and time at bad places. The Greek Gourmet is one of these places. My mother had them "cater" her birthday party about 10 days ago. She's still apologizing; although it's not her fault. A mixed Mediterranean feast was anything but. Severely overcooked meat was the primary problem. It was supposed to be gyros, souvlaki, fillet mignon, lamb chops for the meat platter. The meat was cold and very overcooked. The Gyros were dry and cardboardy, the lamb had no life left in it. Fillet mignon; is that what the 1/8" slices were? The chicken souvlaki was verrrrrrrrryyyyyy dry. The tzatziki itself made my wife feel ill for the rest of the evening because the garlic level was tilting. Mushy salad, with no olives or feta.; It was supposed to be a Greek salad. that should have been an easy one. It looked like last weeks food was reheated. All in all, an unpleasant experience. My mom did like the rice though,,,,,, I guess something was salvageable......
