I feel so let down... Heard the Happy Hour was back on. Got a great seat on the patio near one of the fountains. Now in the daylight, the patio decor may seem somewhat gaudy but it is shady and comfy. At night it is a lot prettier. It could be the perfect place to hang out.
Unfortunately the food & drinks leave so much to be desired and I so wanted to fall back in love with The Mad Greek since changing from The Golden Greek.
We ordered the Saganaki. The cheese did not have the same taste as before and although the server lit it on fire in front of us, it was still hard in the middle. The hummus and pita were good. The fried zucchini and greek fries were good when hot-we got them barely warm and the tzatziki sauce was average. We also ordered the shrimp cocktail, goat cheese flambe and a phyllo pastry with cheese insde were good.
The service was slow as far as the food was concerned but the servers themselves were attentive. Given their attentiveness the rate of food coming from the kitchen must have been due to the kitchen and not a fault of the servers. Our first server was new and was quick to tell us when she was unable to answer our questions BUT she went to go find out! How rare is that these days?
We started off with pomegranite martinis. Yuck. All I tasted was vodka and it was not worth $8.00. Same for the mango mojito. Too sweet-did not even finish. My husband ordered cheesecake and my friend ordered the tiramisu. They agreed that the desserts were average & most likely not homemade-nothing that a cheaper Sara Lee could not satisfy.
I will have to hear about HUGE changes before coming back and I am so hoping that The Mad Greek will succeed.
