| - For those of you who live in and around the Irwin area, you know that Andros (the new Greek restaurant) used to be Rey Aztec, which used to be Los Campesinos, which used to be Rax.
My husband and I decided to try this place out Saturday night. My review is middle of the road, and here it goes:
Pros: The restaurant and bathrooms were clean and our waitress was friendly. The food was good. I had a chicken gyro and baked lemon palatas, which are really potato wedges with a little seasoning. Both were delicious. My husband had the Moussaka. It came with a nice-side house salad, and he liked both very much.The Moussaka looks sort of a like a lasagna, but is a mixture of eggplant, potatoes, beef and some type of sauce.
Cons: I sampled some of the Moussaka, and I thought it was rather sweet for a dinner...it wasn't a dessert, after all. We guessed it had cinnamon in it and when we asked the waitress, it was confirmed. Just think that maybe that should have been stated in the menu. It does say it comes with a "creamy bechamel" sauce, which may somehow mean "sweet" but the average person wouldn't know that.
Also, the food is over-priced. Our bill was $30...a gyro is $7 which is okay but the palatas were $4 and you get like 8 wedges. The original Andros started in McKeesport and I'm thinking that these prices wouldn't fly there, not to mention a small place on route 30 in Irwin. Also, I love having iced tea when I go out to eat, but I asked and it is not fresh-brewed. It comes from the soda fountain. My husband got it anyways, and it was gross.
The place was uncomfortable and the tables were too close together. No booths. The couple that came in and sat down next to us were too close for comfort and the gentleman literally had to move over so I could get up to use the restroom.
Lastly, I do have to mention that the staff all were friendly and on top of things...which is why I am giving Andros 3 stars. There was a couple with two kids (I'd say 10 and 12) two tables down from us. Since we were so close and the mom was loud, it wasn't hard not to hear the conversation. Basically, she told our waitress that it was unacceptable that they didn't have more "kid friendly" menu items and that, for that reason, they would not be coming back. She said, "all you have is stuff my kid won't eat". The waitress pointed out that there is chicken and french fries, salads, etc. The mom said "like, don't you have pizza?" Omg...it took everything I had not to say something to this lady. I mean, this isn't fast food lady! She said her son was picky and wouldn't eat anything on the menu. Well, it is a Greek restaurant...ugh! The waitress handled herself very well and tried accommodating the family to the best of her ability, although it was probably because she was a little intimidated by the woman. Regardless, bravo for handling the family like a champ!
