| - 5 stars? How about 6? 6.5?
We had such an amazing experience here. The menu was massive but delicious. The service was fantastic. The deserts were mouthwatering. I can't say enough.
The hubski and I went with a few friends last weekend. Lucas was our waiter and I swear I have never had better service in my life! My friend and I both ordered the spankophillo, which is a cross between spanakopita and pizza. Pictures will be posted shortly. Lucas advised us that the dish is very large and maybe we should split it (at the risk of lowering his tip by lowering the overall bill). We decided to get our own anyway. All meals came with soup or salad. The soup of the day was cream of asparagus, which I ordered. Perfect. The asparagus was obviously grilled before being creamed in the soup, and there was a smoky flavor to it. You could tell that it was made there and not just out of a bag like some places. It was also not microwaved.
My main dish arrived. Lucas was right- it was ginormous. I stick by my decision to have my own. After my delicious soup, I only ate one small slice of the spankophilla in the restaurant. I would love to tell you that this monstrosity re-heats well, but I didn't get that far. Maybe I'll be a little less impatient next time. What can I say? I am impatient. It tastes better warm than hot. Its also great cold.
Spankofilla? We've been spanked!
My friend had the salad with her meal and she loved the yogurt dressing. He husband ordered the gyros and was told by our waiter that it is "the best sandwich in the country". And it was.
Hubski ordered a tuna melt. If I thought my dish was huge... it came on a big Italian roll with slices of tomato and melted provolone cheese. It was $7. For this size and quality, we would have paid twice that.
For dessert, because I saved room, I had a piece of the "Morning After" cake. It is a white sponge cake soaked in sangria... amazing. Our friends had the tiramisu, which was out of this world.
On top of that, while hubski was drinking coffee, Lucas the magnificent was watching which kind of sugar he was using, so when he refilled the coffee, he brought a whole container of just raw sugar. He checked on us regularly, but was not on top of us. He had plenty of suggestions but was not in our faces, and he was just overall the best waiter I have ever had.
Eight thumbs up. We'll be there again soon.
