| - Husby and I went to celebrate one of my girlfriend's birthday at Mykonos Greek Restaurant. I will admit that although I love the taste of Greek food, I was nervous. Over 10 years ago, when I was attending High school, I found a Greek "fast food" place and their rice with tzatziki sauce was absolutely addicting! The owner has since stopped working at that place and has hired others and ever since then the food never quite met up to his standards. The food would be tasty but dry and tough to chew. I've also tried other Greek restaurants and same problem. Needless to say, I wasn't too excited about going to Mykonos.
I didn't eat anything all day so I ordered the Mykono's Special which comes with Moussaka, lamb chops, green beans, spinach cheese pie, and pilaf rice. I felt prepared and ready as I was wearing my elastic waist skirt that evening. Husby ordered the Lamb chops and was already drooling thinking about his meal.
The restaurant had a dark and cozy ambiance and was quite busy. We waited for a good while for our food to come - almost an hour or so which is expected, I guess. There were 13 of us and a packed dining room. Our servers didn't appear to be happy to be there and they didn't really check on us all that often. I wanted to order another drink when one did come by but I had to keep repeating myself as she didn't seem to hear me. And when I finally did catch her attention, she didn't seem happy that I had to trouble her. Oh, well, everyone has their bad days I guess.
Husby and I were the very last ones at the table to eat. We received our plates a good 15 minutes after everyone received their food so we were already drooling by the time our food arrived. I tasted the spinach cheese pie first as I was really looking forward to it. It wasn't quite what I was expecting but it was not bad. It had a nice strong taste to it that I'm sure others would appreciate. But everything else was absolutely AMAZING!!! The Moussaka had an awesome home-cooked feel to it. The flavours and spices were very rich and deep. I actually closed my eyes on the last bite to savour the flavour. The lamb was succulent and melted in my mouth. Not tough to chew at all. I ate everything on my plate except for my vegetables... not because Dad wasn't there to make sure that I would eat them, but because my plate had a LOT of soul food. Elastic waist skirt or not, I couldn't finish even when I did want to.
They also had a belly dancer that came in while we were eating. Husby was the only male at our table so the belly dancer wrapped her scarf around him and told him he should at least dance for his "harem." He was reluctant but I pushed him up there with her - It was a great distraction so I could steal bites off his plate. His lamb was pulled off the bone and soooo juicy! I almost cried with the first sample. The marinade was well woven into the fibers of meat, that I'm actually drooling as I'm typing this.
The service that we received wasn't the greatest that night but the food more than made up for it. Just remember, no restaurant is perfect. I usually prefer to take my business where I don't feel nervous to trouble our server for a second drink, but the food there is soooo good, I can definitely suck it up for next time.
