| - I always like giving restaurants at least one chance. Every other month someone stops by the office to drop off menu's so I finally decided to give Primavera a try despite the reviews.
I rang them close to my lunch break, it took them 40 minutes to deliver my food which is normal for downtown delivery. The guy who took my order was polite.
Items ordered:
Gyro lunch special ($6.99)
Cannoli ($2.99)
The lunch special runs Monday-Thursday and includes a soda. When the delivery driver got here, he placed the order on my desk, the bags were tied so I didn't get to open them until he left. In one bag there was a soda, in the other my gyro, but no cannoli or tzatziki sauce. I called Primavera back and told them what I was missing. The same guy who took my order answered and just said "Oh, wow", no apology, he just kept on repeating that over and over again and said he would send someone back out, then hung up, no goodbye. Ten minutes later, a different delivery driver drops in and says "the cook said the tzatziki sauce is in the box. I showed him the box and even lifted up the gyro, no sauce. He apologized, gave me my cannoli and tzatziki, then left. Why would I lie about not getting my sauce?
The food itself was okay. I ate the majority of the fries while waiting for the tzatziki sauce to arrive. They were semi-warm, a bit soggy, but the seasoning salt they used on the was good. I bet they would have tasted great if they were hot and crispy. On to the gyro, the pita bread was a bit hard, it wasn't soft so I ate around the hard parts, the meat was good though, it was very tender. The tzatizki sauce was good, it wasn't too strong. The cannoli was okay, the filling was very subtle. Overall, I don't think I'd order from Primavera again, there are far better restaurants downtown with better service and food.
