| - This place got rave reviews from some family, so I decided to join them this time and give it a try. It's really a 3.5 for me, I think.
For starters, let me say that the service was excellent. We were in a private room (our request) and had settled in for a leisurely meal. The server was attentive and knowledgeable. She was able to answer all of our many questions and overall was the star of the evening.
The food was good, but each course had some sort of little "thing" that caught my attention. Overall, it was a solid meal, but it didn't wow me for the fanciness of the place.
We started with several dishes of the Chips Poros and an order of the Flaming Cheese Saganaki. The Chips Poros were a solid start to the meal, even if they were a touch underseasoned. The Flaming Cheese Saganaki was the best thing I had all evening. The presentation of that was a little clunky though. First, they brought out the brandy, lemon, etc. just so that it was there. The cheese came later and he stood away from the table (behind several of us) to light it. Didn't really see what was happening there. It was difficult to pass around due to the hot plate, so I only really got a bite. That bite was delicious though.
Then onto the salads. Several of us split salads. They came out separately plated and were good, but again, the process was sort of clunky. The half salad was more than enough as a starter; but in order to get a half, you had to find someone to eat the other half. I'd rather just be able to order a small salad.
The entrees were all good, though I accidentally over-ordered. The salmon from the fish menu actually did come with some sides, making the a la carte sides I ordered unnecessary. I ended up taking them home in a box.
Also, let's take a moment to talk about the bathrooms. Yuck! The bathrooms were not well kept and clearly not attended to at all during the couple of hours that we were there. For the scale of the space, the bathrooms were smelly and gross.
