| - what to say about this place.....it was busy, a very small dining room with an akwardly large fireplace in the middle of the room. decor is average, it doesn't mesh with the style of the open kitchen. it looks like they spent all the money on the really fabulous open kitchen and then pinched pennies for the dining room. the tables were diner style formica tops with a wood boarder topped with plastic mesh placemats. service is lacking in polish. adequate but not upscale professional.
the food......well it is very traditional greek, gladly without the abundance of taboule or hummus that many greek restaurant feel obligated to offer along with the gratuitous gyro. you won't find that stuff here, but you will find a nice, simple array of greek classic dishes like moussaka, souvlaki, baklava, tzatziki, etc..
i had the moussaka, good, but a little lacking in flavor with lots of stringy cheese. the octopus appetizer with disappointing, NOT in the taste, it was the best thing i ate, but the portion. for 10 bucks i got a plate of arugula with 4 1/4' pieces of octopus, hardly enough for a decent taste! i skipped dessert, but my dining partners opted for the baklava served with ice cream.......why? ice cream and baklava, really?
the one MAJOR problem with this place is that they run out of menu items. two were out when we were sat, as the night progressed i heard the servers announcing a growing list to other tables.
it was good to try once, i'd go back if somebody i knew wanted to try it, but i don't think i'd return on my own.......
go try it, it's ok, but not the kind of greek food i'm used to eating. it's good for people who don't know better............like greek festival food, good for people who don't really know good greek food....
