I tried Santorini Grill on recommendation from a friend. Let me start off by saying, this is not like Mr Greek or any of those types of franchises. As I understand it, their cuisine is more authentic to the type of food one would experience in Santorini. It's on the pricey side---but I must say. The service and food quality was great. (They have a lunch menu on weekdays that I'd really like to try, which is considerably cheaper)
The restaurant has its own parking area. Which was so helpful considering how busy the mall it's in is! A parking guard came by to check I was really a restaurant patron when I exited my car.
They start you with an excellent bread with hummus and a bean salad. I really enjoyed this. The bread was hot and artisanal. We all enjoyed it with the hummus.
I ordered the taramosalata to start. It is just the spread and does not come with pita. You eat it with the starter bread, but they will bring you as much bread as you like. I can honestly say it was the most delicious taramosalata I have ever had. It was also a very generous serving. I took whatever was left of it and the bread home...it was too good to leave behind!
I ordered the fried calamari dinner, which came with spanakorizo (a rice with spinach) and veggies including carrots, green beans and a most delicious pickled red cabbage. This dish was amazing. The calamari was perfectly cooked, the tzatziki was thick and strong (in a good way) and the sides were very good.
My friend ordered Chicken Supreme which came with roasted potatoes and veggies, and absolutely loved her dish. She just raved about it.
We were very happy with our meals and the service. We were far too full to try any dessert.
While I enjoyed the food and service I can only give four stars. I did find the food quite overpriced.
I definitely would like to go back one day for lunch to try some of their other dishes.
