| - Hidden away in a strip mall off the 95 is a Greek restaurant with such potential... unfortunately that's where the good part of this story ends. Let's begin the descent, shall we? It's dinner time and we're all very hungry. I order the Lamb Roast Cabernet, slow-roasted leg of lamb, complemented with a Cabernet reduction mushroom au jus sauce with a side of lemon herb roasted potatoes instead of rice; available upon request. My daughter ordered the Greek Trio, "a selection of (their) most popular spanakopita, mousaka, and pastitsio"; and my wife ordered Lamb Souvlaki, skewered cubes of lamb meat with rice. The bill came out to $46 without the tip. So far so good? Yes, the service was very good. Malaysia our waitress was attentive, personal and knowledgeable about the menu. Gere is where the roller coaster ride begins its steep descent. The potatoes, skewered lamb and side dill dipping sauce were all terribly bland. The mousaka was fried and overcooked on the bottom, and not even a knife would cut through it. Too bad the kitchen doesn't rate as highly as its service, which in my experience is rare. My advice to management is that it's Greek food, so take some risks and spice it up a little. By the way, salt is not a spice. I'll may eat here again. I'd like to see if they change things up. BoN a Petite!
