  • I stopped by last night for dinner with CM after we'd spent the afternoon at Duquesne University, since I had a City Dining Card for Salonika, and it'd been awhile since CM and I had had Greek food. The first thing to note that surprised me a bit is that Salonika doesn't provide table service--orders and payment are accepted up front, and food is provided on trays that you take to a table in the dining area. The staff bus the tables, which clearly needed doing at the time of my visit. Based on other Yelpers' recommendations, I ordered the rosemary half chicken with lemon potatoes ($7.39), and CM did the same. While the flavor of this entree was decent, I found it extremely greasy, and I suspect the chicken wasn't of the best quality, since pieces of bone kept breaking off and ending up in my mouth. As for the lemon potatoes, again, the flavor was on point, but the texture was off, such that they were mushy in some places and so hard as to prevent chewing in others. The sauce on the plate from the potatoes had a great flavor, which I used to dip the chicken and complimentary pita bread that came with the entrees into, but it was also quite greasy from the chicken. CM and I also decided to order dessert, with him ordering the baklava and me ordering the chocolate cake, which looked super-tempting in the case. I'm happy to report that the cake didn't disappoint--it was substantial and moist with thick, fudgy icing and a pleasant, though unexpected, tinge of anise flavor. I tried a piece of CM's baklava, and enjoyed it as well--it had a generous coating of honey, and plenty of chopped nuts. Overall, I found the food at Salonika to be inexpensive (at least, for entrees and the Cultural District) and flavorful, but to be lacking somewhat in execution. I'd consider returning the next time I'm downtown and have a craving for Greek food, since I believe Salonika is one of the few gyro places downtown that stays open beyond lunch hours. If I'm looking for a nicer sit-down dinner, however, I'll pass Salonika up for one of the many other restaurants in the vicinity. 3.5 stars.
