| - Paymon's has always been a local favorite, but I can only provide a very mediocre review.
We came in about 6 on Friday evening. The place was not busy, and the hostess greeted us right away. Fine. But she takes us to a table literally steps from the front door, directly in line with the kitchen door. Can you say freeway? Could have asked for another table, but I didn't...so my bad, but I don't think I should have had to...
Server came and took orders promptly, ok so far. Hummus appetizer comes out quickly, always delicious. Then the entrees came out, gyros salad for me, falamus pita for my wife. also delicious. Maybe not exactly authentic Mediterranean food, but yummy nonetheless. Shared a few Athens fries...these are the bomb.
So what's the problem? Indifferent service. Our server did not once stop and ask how we were doing. After he took our order, he literally disappeared. A different server brought the food out, and of course our server didn't bother to check if we got everything we needed. He must have passed our table 10 times without so much as a nod of the head. I even had to flag him down for a water refill!
We finished eating and just sat there. No offer of dessert, nothing. I flagged him down for the check, since by that time I was getting annoyed and just wanted to split.
We like Paymon's and will probably go back, but if the service is as poor next time, we'll move on.
