| - First impressions mean a lot in the restaurant business. Sadly this place is out of the way and does not get the street attention it might otherwise deserve.
We went here last night for dinner, a Sunday, another off night for me to be rating a place but the experience was good nonetheless.
Not being overly hungry but not wanting to cook either, we thought we'd give it a try. Margaret has been there several time in the past but this was my first visit.
We were greeted and seated by a pleasant hostess, or possibly a waitress, I am really not too sure. There is nice window seating and the sunset is visible and quite beautiful.
Unsweetened Ice Teas for both of us to start. Margaret had the Baba Ganoush with Pita Bread and I chose the Calamari dinner. For only $6 more than the appetizer, the Calamari dinner comes with Potatoes, Rice, Vegetables, Pita Bread as well as a soup or Greek Salad....We shared the sides as she is not a squid fan and that's a shame as they were quite good, even with Tzatiki Sauce as opposed to Marinara.
The food came out fast, a little too fast actually. I had only taken about 3 bites from my salad when the dinner arrived. Everything was hot and fresh and it made me look forward to coming back and trying something on my next visit.
This was one of the few places to have dessert as I generally pass on that but the waitress says they were all home made items and the Tiramisu and Baklava were great so I chose to go Italian for dessert and take home a slice of the Tiramisu for later. Great choice!!
The verdict? Definitely a place to go for the west siders!! Based on locale, it might just be word of mouth that gets this place noticed as its so far off the beaten path to stop by accidentally. I will be back, there are some other great looking dishes I have to try out!
Enjoy!
