| - We came here with a Groupon and made a reservation during a weekday. When we came in, there were only 3 or 4 tables seated, yet we were told time and time again how busy they were. We were seated in the back room, closest to the kitchen that was warm and stuffy.. smelling slightly like a nursing home. That was the first put off. The owner is very brisk and there were a few moments during our meal when we felt uncomfortable. We could hear him yelling in the back and when we asked for our glasses to be refilled we got some stern looks. Sorry?
Anyway. This place is OK. The food doesn't have great presentation. When I go out, I enjoy it tasting and looking like something I couldn't make at home. This was not the case.
We had the bruschetta as an appetizer, $8. That was fine, if not a bit plain and underwhelming.
I ended up getting the vegetarian dinner comprising of 4 sides: roasted beets, greek potatoes, orzo and sauteed spinach. The beets were not roasted, they were from a can. I know this because one of my slices had a can imprint... as in, it was the bottom piece. The best part of this was the greek potatoes. For $14, I would not return.
My boyfriend asked to do the dinner option where you choose a lunch sandwich. He was quickly told that that was NOT an option -- that instead the menu means you can have a dinner entree for lunch. That makes no sense and is not how it's shown on the menu, under the dinner section that says *or choose a lunch option for $2 more.. but.. uh... okay? He ended up having the chicken with roasted beets (canned) and israeli couscous. Also $14.
Overall, it was a very strange experience. He owner isn't too friendly and since we were here a month ago and were STILL hot, I couldn't imagine how it feels during the middle of the Summer. Thanks Groupon, I tried something new and it was a bust.
