| - I have been coming here for 12 years now, on and off with huge gaps in between. Originally I used to come for the Mezes platters with some of the guys, both the small one and the large one (large about $15). So why do I find myself there from time to time? Maybe nostalgia? I am not sure.
I have gone to other places but for some reason this one keeps coming up. For example, I do like their patio --which is covered, and I like to sit there in the summer for people watching and sitting with friends (4-6 tops) as the patio is not that big. And when I wanted something cheap to eat, I would sit, get a glass of wine and a few lamb or pork souvlakis which comes with pita and tzatziki for about $2.50 each, although they are more like $3.99-ish now.
However the problem I find is that I have seen the prices creep up over the years while say, the variety of Mezes got a bit cheaper in selection so that has rubbed me the wrong way. Since I expect the quality of the food to at least catch up with prices or at least try to stay the same, not worse. Which it has slightly so some might call it expensive.
Having said that, it is a relatively safe place for anniversaries and maybe second dates, it's tasty but I had better. We recently took a family member who *never* had Greek food and we had the meat platter ($45-ish) plus a large Mezes and a few appetizers and a bottle of wine ($130 in the end for three people) and although again it was not the best I ever had, everyone seems quite satisfied. Plus the couches on the edges of the tables are comfortable and the overall vibe of the place is somewhat rustic with some Mediterranean colour accents.
As someone else said, because they are long bench/couches against the wall, maybe one might feel that the party next to you might be a bit close, personally I do not mind it. I mean, in the old country, things are like that and no one cares. So it depends on your cultural and personal preference.
Some might say that it might be a bit expensive for what it is and I might agree, hence I do not go as often as I used to 6 years ago, although at the same time, this place is always packed during the dinner rush. Sometimes the line goes out the door. So they are doing something right. But currently I have a current opening for another *Greek Base* to try out though.
Funny gossip of note: Many years ago, apparently the the wife of the owner cheated with one of the servers, just like the wife of the owner of Mr. Greek. Why I know that, I used to get along with some of the waiters a few years ago. Mind you, I do not know how much of that is true. Although the part about the wife of the owner of Mr. Greek is true.
