| - From my prior tip, yes, we had a big fat Greek lunch here yesterday, and it was GREAT! This is epic so brace yourselves.
This is the only BFGR location I've visited and we always have a great time. I've taken Mr. M, I've taken a group of girlfriends, I've taken a group of coworkers and they've never let us down.
I'm still thinking about yesterday's lunch so that's what I'm going to write about. We sat at the bar and each ordered a glass of retsina. It took awhile for the wine to make its way to us. Our server was very nice, but at one point she stopped by with two wine glasses and said, "I'll have so and so make your sangria because he does a better job." I politely reminded her we had ordered 2 glasses of retsina, and she gave me kind of a blank look and said, "Oh, I don't know if we carry that anymore." Uh....we had ordered it about 12 minutes and 47 seconds ago....
I happened to glance over at the wine/beer cooler and saw a yellow label that looked like it had Greek writing on it. I asked her if that was it, and sheepishly, she said "Yes", and immediately poured us two healthy glasses of that wonderful wine.
Ah. I'm happy.
Mr. M was Jonesin' for a gyro so that's what he ordered with the Greek fries.
I ordered one kebab of chicken souvlaki and one of the beef souvlaki with the Greek potatoes and a Greek side salad.
Everything was delicious. We were passing the gyro back and forth. It was overstuffed and had all the right flavors and plenty of gyro meat stuffed in that soft pita. And the Greek fries....don't get me started. Those are ridiculous with the feta cheese, seasoning, and sauce they drizzle over those. I don't know what it is, but we OD'd on those for sure.
My kebabs had a wonderful smoky, grilled flavor, the chicken was tender and the steak was cooked a perfect med rare. My roasted potatoes were nice and tender and I proceeded to stuff myself with even more potatoes. Roasted taters + Greek fries = carbo overload. My plate also came with some nice sautéed veggies, squash, broccoli, carrots, onion. Very tasty.
The salad that started the meal was crisp and full of wonderful Greek flavor as well.
All in all we quite happily made complete pigs out of ourselves. Everything was delicious, and after the slow start with the service, it was great after that, and a couple of other manager/owner types checked on us too. I love that.
Then....oh yes there's more....we had just pushed back our chairs, were rubbing our full bellies, and here comes another owner/manager type offering us a sample of the new type of roasted potato they are going to offer.
Oh Lordy. I am wondering what kind of carb coma I'm going to end up in, but we tried them and they were delicious. They created a sauce that blends the best of oregano, lemon, and I think white wine and I even think I spied a caper. Wonderful.
I want to go back today.
