| - It was my mom's birthday on Saturday & she picked this place for her bday dinner. This used to be Abuelo's (I miss that place!). The inside is very nice & the staff was friendly. We were seated right away because I had made reservations the day before. It was packed & very loud. I think the servers were a bit frazzled since they had just opened that week.
We started off with the calamari. It was delicious & not greasy at all. To our surprise we were brought another app. He brought it to our table & it was flambed table side. Some sort of cheese with a strong lemon flavor. My dad & I liked it but my mom & husband said it was gross. Apparently, it was meant for the table next to us. Not sure why they didn't say anything, just looked extremely pissed & left. Oh well!
For our entrees: my mom ordered moussaka, dad ordered roasted leg of lamb, hubby ordered shrimp kebabs & I ordered pastitsio. My dad had the best meal of us all, although the lamb was a bit over cooked because it was dry. My mom said hers was ok & mine was too, we had similar lasagna looking dishes. My hubs had the worst meal of us all. There was a strange smell & I could of swore it was someones dirty feet, nope it was his shrimp! I took one bite & almost spit it out, it tasted old & not fresh at all. Every dish came with a side of green beans, the tomato sauce they were covered in was not good, therefore ruining them. I also have to add that it took over 20 minutes for my husband to get the captain & coke he ordered. They finally brought it to the table after we were finished eating, he was annoyed to say the least.
I feel bad for this review considering they are a new restaurant but it was honestly one of the worst meals I've ever had. I would maybe go back & try their hummus or gyros but I don't know if that would be anytime soon, they have a lot to work on when it comes to the food.
