| - Stopped here because Greek sounded interesting and there was a guy standing out front that was very friendly and couldn't say enough good things about the food. In hindsight I wish I'd just pushed him out of the way. I also wish I'd read the reviews here and gone across the street to get a Greek fix.
Tried the red wine. That was pretty yummy!
The hummus was watery and not great. The salads that came with our dinners were listed as Greek side salads. The lettuce was all iceberg and very little of it was green. Some of it was brown though... There was one sad little kalamata olive that was not of great quality. Why be stingy with cheap olives? Tomatoes were squishy and tasteless. To top it all off, the greek dressing was little more than oil and vinegar.
I ordered baked eggplant covered in tomato sauce served over rice pilaf and a side of veggies. Soft and boring. The rice pilaf was just oily, bland rice. No spice, no nothin'. Blah. My dinner guest ordered the Mediterranean Fish. She declared the fish cooked well-enough, but said the dish was similarly boring.
Paying the bill was a pain in the butt. We sat outside to eat and, in a timely manner, were brought a check with no numbers, not even a total. We had to walk into the restaurant and to the back to the register to pay. There we were greeted by our server and another server and stood there chatting with them while we waited for someone else to come out of the kitchen to operate the register. We got the certified register operator after a few minutes and when we handed over credit cards we were told that we needed to tell them how much we wanted to tip up front because they had to run the cards for the exact amount. I had cash to tip, but still, with our server standing right there, very uncomfortable. Great service, boring food, crappy ambiance. Never going back.
