| - Nestled into the bowels of the Epicentre in downtown Charlotte, IOS has created a trendy spot with open air and space for diners with a taste for modern Greek cuisine. You really gotta love a place where you can sit and eat inside the restaurant, but still be outdoors - so the location and ambiance of this place is on point!
Ate here for lunch and had the spicy lamb pita with fries. I am a big fan of obscenely salted fries, and let me tell you, these are up there with the best of the options that fit that criteria. My lamb pita was also pretty good, although I have to say that presentation was a bit unappetizing. It honestly looked like the lamb had been rolled into a hot dog, making it appear a bit... inappropriate for those of us with the maturity level of a 12 year old.
The big drawback to my experience, unfortunately, was the poor service. No one greeted me as I walked in. I sat down after confirming with someone behind the bar that it was okay to do so, and even then, no one acknowledged me. Waited a good 5 minutes for the server to come around the first time, and then, despite a restaurant I would estimate (based on the empty tables) as being about 20%-30% full, my lunch took over 30 minutes to come out. The food was good, and I will gladly wait a little longer for good food, but for a pita and fries during a lunch rush on a weekday? it's a bit of an issue for us busy folks who have to go back and sleep during our afternoon meetings.
