My Big Fat Greek Restaurant stood out in a somewhat empty expansive parking lot on Christmas Eve. Nearby Rusconi's was unable to accommodate a party of 7 due to a high number of reservations so we decided to check out the much emptier MBFGR. There were a couple seated at a table and some other customers seated at the bar, so I definitely worried it would be subpar.
Since business was so light we were seated promptly upon arrival. However, service was not as quick as we would have expected since very few people came in after us. When they did serve us, though, the appetizer and entrees arrived at about the same time. Everything was characterized by a certain expectedness/predictability as well as daunting portion size. Most memorable for me was the braised lamb (very tender and savory in a tomato base) though the mousaka was not bad either.
The fourth star goes to being open on a Christmas Eve, and to the bartender who put on dazzling performances of flaming shots.
