| - though a bit slow, the service was good. the food on the other hand.....
appetizer: greek fries- boy, oh boy do they use a heck-of-a-lot of salt, and there were only two tiny slivers of tomato in there. i just don't get it??? it would'a been A LOT better with less salt though.
entree: salmon in lemon-butter sauce- the salmon was dry and a bit over cooked, and once again, someone doused this dish in salt (it's common scene here, i guess). I did like the spinach though, and the potatoes weren't bad either.
dessert: baklava ice cream- have you ever had freezer burnt ice cream, you know, when you can taste the watery ice crystals in the ice cream? if you don't want to, don't try this dish. also, this dish could have been saved, if the baklava pieces on top weren't also stale. yes, it is a generous portion size (as are all their dishes), but that was the only (arguably) good part.
The atmosphere was good & i also really like the color scheme here, it'a a very 'warm' environment.
p.s. i peeked in the kitchen, and i kinda wished i hadn't. there were: cooks wearing pajama bottoms and t-shirts (one guy came out and poured himself a nice, strong drink around 1pm), and splatter's of some grimy looking stuff on the wall, also, too top it all off, i saw a guy filling these large cans of "red baron tomato sauce" with a bit of water and walking back towards the stoves; my guess is, he was thinning out there homemade tomato sauce #gross
