| - Food - 2.5*, Service - higher
I've been wanting to go to Colossus for a while now, so I jumped at the chance when a gf suggested Greek for lunch!
The restaurant itself is cute and quaint. Service was friendly, patient, and prompt. All good signs,
BUT
In all honesty, I was quite disappointed with the food. To test out the restaurant, I ordered the staple Greek meal, Pork Soulaki Entrée. Prices were quite reasonable at $10.95 which included a coupla large potato pieces, rice, Greek salad, and the meat. Good portion at a great price point!
All the staples, re: potatoes, rice, & pork were dry and bland. In addition, rice was slightly undercooked and seemed like it was left sittin' out (dry). There wasn't any sauce with the potatoes. And the pork was overcooked (dry). Everything needed a bit more salt and I am not a sodium addict. The flavours were almost there, but lacked something. My dish didn't come with a lemon wedge, so I wasn't able to liven things up.
I've had better at the mall food court. Salad was fresh tho'!
Since the service was pleasant and setting was pretty, esp. at night, I'd give them another chance. Maybe they were having an off-day?
