  • Off to a weak start. The restaurant had been open a week, when I stopped in for dinner. This is the location of the old Bayview Diner, with a complete facelift. The menu looks interesting with a variety typical of normal midline restaurant fare, and Greek dishes. Pricing is in line with other restaurants. I ordered the Greek Bifteki, which is ground chuck with a ribbon of mild cheese inside, with a Greek salad and roasted potatoes for $13.99. The beef was totally flavourless, sitting in a puddle of fatty oil. That was strange because it tastes boiled, so all of the oil should have been washed away. The cheese inside was unidentifiable. Normally, I don't salt anything unless I determine after I taste it that it needs it--and this needed it badly. The Greek salad was the best part (it's hard to screw up a Greek Salad). The potatoes were a bit chewy, not undercooked, but likely overcooked. My dinner guest had the Beef Dip, and commented that the beef was also flavourless and dry. The jus, however, was not, rather it tasted like a powder based mix with too much powder--hence, very salty and harsh. Imagine pure soy sauce, and that's the level of salt. The service was very slow, and it appeared that someone forgot to put in our order. Later arrivals were receiving their food first. Trying to get the cheque was also a problem as the staff chatted at the kitchen. I would likely go again just to offer a second chance. They do have some interesting items on the menu, like Eggs Benny (I didn't wait to find out if it is fresh or powdered Hollandaise). Also, a Coconut French Toast, and Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes sound very drool worthy. But get the business in order first, or risk becoming the next failed occupant of the space. Next time I will either add a star or subtract a star. To be determined. My suggestion: go if you want, but be strict about the quality of food and service you receive. If management is not made aware of a pattern of failures, they will not make an effort to improve. However, if they are made aware and do not remedy the failures, just look through some Yelp reviews for a better option.
