| - The place is nice, ambience is nice and if you are sitting at the bar to order food, service is just normal.
But to talk about the main thing which a restaurant sells - this place is below standard. Factors taken into account to rate the food - taste, presentation, authenticity, price. So this is supposedly a Greek, Mediterranean and Italian restaurant.
We ordered, a simple lamb pita, a chicken pita and zucchini and egg plant fried appetizers with tzazsiki. The appetizer had too much salt in it. The tzazsiki had garlic missing in it and the taste could've been anything from ranch to mayo to Greek yogurt - unfortunately it's not tzazsiki. The lamb in the lamb pita was dry, with none of the tzazsiki or garlic flavor in it. It was like using a week old lamb in a pita bread. It was the same problem with the chicken pita. Overall it wasn't Greek or Mediterranean food. Probably this may also come as a surprise to many of you that the food wasn't that good, because a lot of people (majority of people here) don't know what's good food , or rather what is authentic food. But of course they think they know, that's an even bigger problem. Nothing against anybody, but if I am going to a Greek, Mediterranean or Italian restaurant I will look for authenticity. Americanising cuisine isn't an excuse. I tasted better pitas from a food truck. So paying this much for this quality of food is undesirable. Oh yes I have tasted Greek food in Greece and Italian food in Italy, so I know what I am comparing with. I don't expect 100% authenticity, but it could've been at least a little better.
