| - Was at Target and then had an appointment, so with time to kill, thought I'd treat myself to lunch.
Nice place. Bright, clean, well-decorated.
Service through-out was very good, if not warm and fuzzy. Although I seated myself, I had a menu within moments, ice tea came promptly and was kept filled. Server checked in twice to see if there was anything else I needed. If there was a service problem before, it's been rectified.
Food: I ordered a chicken gyro and upped to onion rings for 99 cents. Maybe a bad choice---I can't help but compare what I had at the Summit with the gyros from Greek Pita at Happy Valley. All I could think was GFS (that's Gordon Food Service) The chicken was plentiful on the nicely grilled pita, but there was nothing Greek about it. It tasted like an anonymous herbed chicken breast that comes in a 10 lb bag. It was okay. It's probably the same anonymous chicken breast they use for a couple of dishes. About a tablespoon of small dice tomatoes and two (I counted) slivers of red onion. The tzatziki came in one of those little lidded plastic cups and if it had any flavor, I could not discern it. The onion rings were definitely out of a GFS or Costco freezer. But they were crisply fried and not greasy. But for flavor and satisfaction, I'd give it a two. Quantity of food: a 5.
If the level of food had matched the service and cute decor, this place would have been a winner and on my list. But as it is... Waaay over priced at $9.99 for the gyro and then the upcharge for the onion rings. (Lunch for one person was fifteen bucks and some change) But for that kind of lunch money, I want food that's been prepared for me, not defrosted. Like I said, I am a fan of Greek Pita and you can't compare what you get from GP for 5.95 to the Summit gyro.
However, maybe I ordered the wrong thing. Maybe ordering Greek at a Scottsdale "diner" is akin to ordering Italian at Applebees. You deserve what you get.
I might try it again, if its the right time and place---maybe another menu item would be better. I'll let you all know....
