| - It really is a shame that Yelp only allows one rating. Because Zorba's would be a 4 for the food and maybe a 1 for service. We've been there before and the food is always good, but the service is spotty. Tonight it was abysmal. Maybe they saw the Groupon coupon on the table and figured we weren't worth it??
We ordered a hummus trio appetizer and my husband ordered, very clearly, a cup of lentil soup. When those came (almost an hour later) it was chicken soup, but who wanted to wait even longer for them to fix that and bring the lentil soup? Not us. The chicken soup wasn't bad, but we prefer the lentil.
Our actual waiter took the orders and (finally) delivered the appetizer and (wrong) soup. He was pretty scarce after that and looked kind of terrified when he brought the hummus. Plates were removed and our entrees were delivered by other people. So, dude, if you wonder why you got a crappy tip it's because you gave us crappy service. (We were able to get one of the other people to finally fill our water glasses.)
When our food finally came, it was delicious. Fine. We ate. As we were nearly finished, the owner/manager made a tangential pass by the table, asking how everything was. I said "a little slow," but he may already have been out of earshot. In any case, he chatted for a good 5 minutes with the people at the next table. And then until we left he was chatting with the patrons at a table across from us... saying "see you tomorrow" as we headed out the door. Yeah. I don't think so, buddy. There are plenty of places where we can get decent Greek and/or Middle Eastern food - and much better service.
