| - How very unfortunate....
That's really the only way to start this re-review. A friend and I went for dinner last night and since I wanted to try this place out again and she was feeling like greek food, we decided to head down to Milos. We got there around 7:30 and it wasn't busy at all, two other tables and I think one of them was family members of the owners or something.
Wanting to try something that would give me a good sense of how this restaurant is, I ended up ordering the beef and lamb gyros dinner (regular size), which comes with a greek salad and two sides. I chose the rice and lemon potatoes. Our salads arrived fairly quickly and their salad is really growing on me. They brought over that weird hot dog bun as bread again but we ate it and it was tasty enough.
When I got my main, it looked great! Full plate of food, TONS of gyro and tzatziki and lots of my side dishes. My friend and I were chatting away as we ate and as I ate more and more of it, I started to realize it wasn't all that great. The gyro was ridiculously salty. So much so that I left more than half and actually ended up waking up in the middle of the night so thirsty from this salty gyro. The rice was boring boring boring - I haven't had this kind of greek rice before, it had some kind of tomato base in it, but it had almost no flavor and wasn't a good addition to the plate. I was really looking forward to the lemon potatoes because they're one of my favourites but they were mediocre as well. I didn't get ANY lemon off these potatoes and they were basically just hunks of potato cooked in some kind of sauce that didn't have much flavor.
The service was fine until the end, when they seemed to have forgotten about us. They cleared our plates away and since we were chatting we just kept on talking and waiting for them to come back with our bills or ask us for dessert (I was actually thinking about trying their Baklava or something) and they never did. I had to flag down the busboy/host and indicate that we wanted our check before the waitress brought it over.
All in all, this was a seriously disappointing meal. I'm not sure if this is authentic greek, but if it is then I guess I'm not much a fan of authentic greek food. This was a rather flavorless, too salty meal that didn't satisfy my greek craving at all. It's a sad day when I prefer food court greek over "authentic greek" and when I (not greek but italian) can make better more flavorful greek food myself. I'll be back for the salad I had last time, its tasty and the portion size was great, but I won't be coming back to this restaurant to eat in ever again.
