| - Fiance took me here this weekend for dinner as he found this gem during the work week a few days back and couldn't wait for me to try it. He was right. IT WAS FANTASTIC.
The service here is absolutely untouchable. I don't think I have had the level of customer service that they are providing here in QUITE a long time. It was a Saturday night - so it was very busy. Lobby was packed to the brim - always a good sign for me, as you KNOW its that good if people are lining up out the door. We only waited about 15 minutes for our table. The manager of this place is VERY involved.The hostess accidentally called our name for our table before it was ready. We had to wait again. Meanwhile, I watched the manager give orders around him to the various waiters and busboys -which by the way - were HUSTLING and working their butts off at this place. It was pretty refreshing to see. He led us personally to our table as the hostess has slipped the first go round. I was impressed.
Our waiter was fantastic. Very accommodating, polite, friendly. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. After talking to him after we had finished our meal he told us it was his first week working there. I was SO impressed. We would have never known. Whatever the owner is doing here - he is doing it RIGHT. His staff is well trained and treat people like real people, not like inconveniences.
We had the buffalo wings as an appetizer. OH MY GOD. Probably one of the best plates of wings I have had in a really long time. They were smoking hot, freshly cooked - no frozen chicken drumsticks here. They were breaded with cornflakes and SO crispy without being overly breaded. The sauce they were tossed in was just the right amount of spice but was full of flavor. You can tell it was homemade sauce, not a bottle of Franks red-hot with some butter melted into it. We didn't even talk or look up at each other until the platter was empty. SO good.
Fiance had the monte cristo for an entree and I had the gyro sandwich. Both dishes came with homemade coleslaw, pickles and french fries. Fries were hot and crispy - not cold and soggy. The coleslaw was freshly made and on the sweeter side (a little too sweet for my taste, but still delicious!). The monte cristo was served on homemade challah bread french toast and had REAL roasted turkey and giant chunks of freshly carved salty ham. SO GOOD. The gyro sandwich I had was the best I have ever had. Ever. Ever. It had so much meat packed into the pita that I couldn't even finish it. The meat was fresh and flavorful and the tzatziki sauce was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I could tell it was freshly made that day, in house. I asked for extra, it was so good!
We will definitely be back again and again and again. Worth the drive no matter where you live in the city!
