My wife and I have found a new favorite thing to do....trying new dining venues. She got to choose the place tonight.
We weren't expecting live music but was very pleased with the performance. I wish I had caught the guys name. If anyone reads this please let me know when we can see him play again. His choice of music was great. Seemed to know his nitch very well.
On to the food. For an appetizer we had the Hummus Trio. Traditional, Red Pepper & Jalapeño. I especially wanted to try the jalapeño. The flavor was subtle at first but after tasting the other two the jalapeño flavor was noticable. The texture was not quite but almost creamy. Enjoyable would order again.
Entrées, she ordered the lamb gyro with seasoned fries and I got the shrimp skewers. Unfortunately the shrimp was way over cooked. Chewy and rubbery and a disappointment. The side of mediterranean seasoned rice was more enjoyable. I would probably not order again. Fortunately the gyro and frys were much better. The lamb was tender and flavorful I wanted more. The seasoned fries were delicious. I Would recommend.
I was excited to see baklava on the desert menu. Unfortunately that turned out to be another disappointment and probably the worst example of the dish I've had anywhere. Baklava is supposed to be flakey and sweet with walnuts or pistachios. This one used walnuts. The crust wasn't flakey it was like cardboard. It looked like Baklava, but it didn't really taste like it. I would NOT recommend it. I would hate for someone that has never had this desert before to have the one I was given. They might never try it again and miss out on a wonderful experience.
We enjoyed the atmosphere of the establishment and will most likely go back. My wife's experience was better than mine. As far the food, hopefully my next choices will be better.
P.S. Our service was good. I'm hoping after next visit I can bump the review up.
