I really had high hopes for Petros, mostly because my name in greek is Petros.
The location and decor are both amazing and I really like the entrance area before walking into the main restaurant. It is a bit crowded depending where you are seated and since it is just one long seating area noise travels a lot. The service was great for us. I read that it was a problem for others but our waiter was superb.
*Full disclosure* as a Greek I expect a lot from Greek restaurants, especially when the prices are on the higher end side.
We started off with fried zucchini and some tzatziki. The zucchini was okay not overly oily like some other restaurants I've tried. The tzatziki however wasn't thick like it should be. Traditional Tzatziki is made with only greek yogurt so it should have a thick consistency, many restaurants substitute part of the greek yogurt for sour cream because it is cheaper. I expect it from Marathons and cheap greek fast food places but I for more upscale greek restaurant they should have 100% greek yogurt tzatziki.
For the main course I ordered Moussaka and a side order of fries. Moussaka is a traditional Greek dish kind of like a lasagna but substitute the pasta for eggplant and potatoes. And then the cheese for béchamel sauce. It's my favourite Greek dish hands down. The portion was massive and honestly it was pretty good. They used lamb meat instead of beef which gives it an interesting taste and the potatoes eggplant and zucchini weren't over cooked and mushy, something that often happens. It was a bit on the salty side but all in all best part of the meal.
As for the fries, they were good but came cold which was disappointing.
For desert we had a few loukoumades which were on the doughy side, rather than being light and fluffy.
To sum it up, there are a lot of better Greek restaurants at half the price, so it will be difficult to justify a return visit to Petros.
