Decided to give this neighborhood spot a try after reading some glowing reviews.
Agree that the Calamari and Baklava Cheesecake were outstanding.
Also, very impressive and reasonably priced wines.
Atmosphere would have been better if they had closed the blinds offering the view of the neon "Jiffy Lube" but the booths are cozy and comfortable (far better than the tables).
Service started off good though wishing our waiter had on a long sleeve collared shirt vs the logo t-shirt. He made recommendations for beverages and wine and offered some good menu suggestions then disappeared for the balance of the evening. Thank goodness for the lovely woman who cleared out plates, took our dessert order and made us feel welcome. Wish I had gotten her name.
The owner? Other than asking us to "like their Facebook Page" on our way out the door barely welcomed or noticed us...too busy fawning over his regular guests to welcome new ones I suppose.
Back to the food...
Bread basket was outstanding!
Greek Salad arrived with our meals (not before hand) and looked like a tired left over banquet salad...just tired looking and unimpressive.
Same with he lentil soup starter (included w/ the meal)...honestly, looked like something right out of a can.
The Gyros Platter...what is up w/ dumping French Fries on top?!?! UGH
The Shrimp was nicely done and all good arrived steaming hot! A bonus.
We would give this another try with the hope of better service, a genuine/warm welcome, and select different entree.
