| - I'm on a Greek rampage. I was told that Bacchanal is THE PLACE to go. I have to say.. I am dissapointed. My friends and I arrived, sat in the back corner or an 80's themed restaurant. Oh- that wasn't a theme? Unless the food speaks for itself, I would opt for a remodel.
The food does not speak for itself.
I ordered the vegetarian moussaka:
VEGETARIAN MOUSSAKA 15.00
Slices of eggplant and potato layered with zucchini, spinach and feta cheese, topped with béchamel cream and parmesan cheese
I have to say, the actual moussaka was delicious, but it came with vegetables that I swear were straight from a can. Mushy... tasteless.
It was a little while ago, so I can't recall what my co-adventurers ordered, but I do remember the look on their faces when the belly dancer came out. It was more of a squint since the dancer was so far from us- all tucked in the back corner like lepers.
Reservations are recommended for optimal belly dancer viewing... but...
Some would argue that you wouldn't really want to be that close.
We arrived on a night when a good portion of the restaurant was reserved for an engagement party- a woman named Athena was getting married. Appropriate? Anyway, the whole entertainment side was catered to that party and my guests and I had the distinct feeling that we were crashing My Big Fat Greek Enagagement Party.
Next time, I would suggest reservations and some social lubricant in the parking lot before entering, preferably from an ouzo bottle in a paper bag.
