| - YUM YUM YUM. Had lunch there and it was absolutely, friggin, finger licking delicious! I brought my mom here for lunch today, and we left feeling happy and stuffed.
The place is big, nice and can easily fit larger groups.I vaguely remembered having been here before with friends, and having drank flaming shots and watched a belly dancer contort and move in ways I can only ever dream of doing.
On this occasion we were greeted by a friendly waitress, who told us to choose were we wanted to sit ( at 2:30pm the place was pretty empty save for a couple other tables). We were handed our menus and left for a few minutes to decide what to get. We decided on the Lemonato dolmades ( grape leaves stuffed with ground beef and creamy arborio rice with a creamy lemon and dill sauce), and banana peppers stuffed with roasted red peppers and feta cheese. For our mains we chose the moussaka and grilled calamari dinner.
Warm, crusty yet soft bread rolls were brought to our table while we waited for our starters, which came only a few minutes later. The lemonato dolamdes were delicious, and a very generous portion for a starter, the stuffed banana peppers were spicy and also very,very tasty. We were just finishing our starters when our mains came out, unfortunately at this point I was pretty much full from having stuffed my face with warm bread and the generously sized starters.
Both the moussaka and grilled calamari came with Greek salad,roasted potatoes and rice. I had some of the grilled calamari and it was incredibly tender and delicious! Some of the best grilled calamari I have ever had. The moussaka was also very good, however I was really full and could only handle a couple of bites before I asked for the rest of my dinner to be packed up.
The service throughout our meal was attentive, and friendly, and our waitress checked on us a few times to make sure were doing fine, and to pour water on our glasses for us. All in all very friendly without being overbearing or annoying. Our two starters with mains and a large bottle of sparkling water came to a little over $60.00. Very reasonable for the amount and quality of food we had.
My only recommendation when coming here would be to wear pants with some extra room in them, because at the end of my meal I was about ready to loosen my belt by a couple of notches in order to accommodate my "food bump".
