| - Alright folks, here it is - the one bad review of Romeo's. Maybe I went on an off night, who knows, but I was definitely far from impressed.
The menu is massive - there are probably 100+ things to choose from. Be prepared to spend a good amount of time sorting through the menu and trying to decide what to get. Keep in mind that the entrees are quite large - you'll have plenty of food left over.
Anyway, we started with the Greek Skins (potato skins with gyro meat, feta, and some tzatziki-like sauce). These were the best part of our meal. They weren't amazing, but they were definitely enjoyable. We then each got our entrees - I opted for Paella Barcelona (all kinds of meat - various seafood, sausage, etc. in a red sauce over brown rice) and she got a chicken dish that had a whole bunch of veggies with it (sorry folks, I don't remember what it was called). My dish was okay but really could've been a lot better - the red sauce wasn't nearly as flavorful as it could/should have been. Her dish was uhhh...in a word, bland. There was a minimal amount of flavor to everything. The veggies just tasted like steamed veggies and the chicken was almost completely flavorless. The sauce that the veggies and chicken were in didn't help anything - nothing had much flavor at all. Then I remembered each of our entrees was $20 and that made me even less happy.
We decided to take a chance on dessert and were pleasantly surprised with that. They have a *massive* dessert selection - there are probably 20-30 different things to choose from. There are cakes, bars, tarts, truffles, you name it. Dessert is cool because you can walk up to the front area and take a look at everything in the display cases to see what looks good. We had a hard time deciding, but went with the chocolate-covered cookie dough, chocolate-covered macaroon, and the double truffle bar (a dark chocolate and orange bar with Grand Marnier). The bar was alright, although I thought the crust was really dry and didn't have much flavor (the display said it had a hazelnut crust but I didn't taste a hint of hazelnut). The chocolate-covered macaroon was better, although macaroons aren't really my thing so it wasn't that amazing for me. She loved it though. Then there was the chocolate-covered cookie dough...oh man. Sooooo good. And cheap too - the chocolate-covered cookie dough was only $2 or so.
Anyway, the mediocre quality and moderately high price of the entrees are the reason Romeo's gets two stars. I'm still planning on going back though for dessert sometimes - they have some really awesome-looking cakes that I just have to try :)
