| - We did not have a lot of time on our hands for dinner, decided to behave tonight and have salads so we decided on Greek. Not a fare we choose to have too often but we were hoping for Mediterranean freshness!
In we went and were seated with a clump of other diners in a not so busy place. The crowds around us were loud, bordering on obnoxious but we stayed put. I ordered wine and if it was 5oz by the glass it was the smallest 5oz I have ever seen!
So, I had two.
We ordered the lamb salad and the calamari salad so we could share both.
Our waitress was pleasant and friendly.
If you like your salad crisp and refreshing, your best bet would be the calamari salad if you like seafood. The calamari was plentiful on top and not battered too thick which was nice. I liked the light touch of feta, fresh tomato, onion and cucumber with the lightly dressed romaine.
The lamb salad was nothing like the first, had no brightness to it. Just warm, dark spring type greens with red onion, pistachios and figs. I did enjoy the figs, wish there had been a few more on the plate! The lamb itself was OK, shredded and had decent flavour.
The music in the restaurant was odd - went from Arabic to Italian. Was hoping for more of a Greek experience.
2 salads and 2 glasses of wine = just over $50.
Not cheap, but nothing in Calgary is cheap.
