| - We decided to go all out and ordered the Greek Platter for Two. It begins with the Greek salad, which was simple, but the dressing was thick and tart, just perfect! The platter arrived on an enormous plate! The lamb shank falls off the bone, and it is sweet and succulent, just melting in your mouth. They supply ample Pita, Tzatziki and shaved gyro meat to create mini-gyros, and it is all supremely delicious. The hummus was fresh and refreshing, and the greek potatoes were sweet and salty. This was my first time trying Moussaka, and it was spicy (not hot) and flavorful with savory crust and meat inside. The rice was average, yet tasty. I can't honestly speak to the Spanakopita because this version had lemon in it (allergic!), and the same goes with the Dolmathes. We finished off our Valentine's Day dinner with dessert...chocolate mousse for my hubby, and Baklava for myself. I've never had Baklava that was sort of spicy, but this had a strange, clove-like taste to it. I prefer sweeter, so it wasn't my favorite, but someone else might like it quite a bit.
Now that we've found it, we will definitely eat there again. The cost was very reasonable, the staff was friendly and fun, our waitress was attentive without being annoying, the music was perfect Greek dance music, and even the owner stopped by to chat with us. I look forward to going back and trying more dishes.
