| - There was four of us who went here today for a late lunch. My wife Carol, our friend Kathy R. and a close friend of mine from Oaklahoma Cliff Y and of course me.
I don't even know where to begin about this restaurant, right from the get go I knew there was going to be problems. We started off with appetizers. When the dolmades was served it was slightly warm to the touch. The Flaming Saganaki (slice of cheese set on fire) was excellent in addition to being an impressive presentation it was darn cool.
So our food comes out, this is where things turned bad...here is what we all got:
Our friend Kathy R. - Mousaka - When it was served the Sautéed veggies were somewhat warm but more on the cold side. The Mousaka was frozen in the middle. She asked for it to be reheated. Her soup was not hot so she also sent that back to be reheated. Of course when the Mousaka and soup returned both were very hot. BUT when Kathy tasted her dish she said this is so bad it it was inedible and didn't eat the Mousaka. I thing she had her soup.
My friend Cliff Y. said he enjoyed his Gyro plate and told me everything was fine. But that was probably because he was extremely hungry before his food arrived or he was just being polite.
My wife, Carol had a a combo pork and chicken kebab. It came out , marginally warm this included the roasted potatoes, veggies and meat so she sent it all back to be reheated. When her dish returned she ate it and enjoyed her food.
My dish - I ordered a combination plate which consisted of a Beef & veggie kebab. I started off my meal with a side salad, it was good but a salad is a salad. The Beef and veggie kebab like everyine elses that was served during our visit was barely this included the roasted potaotes, meat and veggies. I was so disappoinyed I simply pushed my meal aside and did not eat it. There is nothing more discusting as food served lukewarm. Ontop of everything else my beef kebob was over cooked and dry. Yick! When asked if I wanted something else I said no just take it away.
With all the food that was sent back and our comments / complaints during dinner to our waitress the manager never came out to speak to us. Instead another waitress compt'd us a couple of deserrts and gave me two $10.00 gift certificates (good for one gift certificate per table per visit) for on our next vist. This is one a $96.00 bill. I was curious about the restaurant so I asked " Is everything made in advance and just reheated here". She told me all the food is prepaired fresh and cooked daily. I seriously doubt it.
FOOD: Honestly, none of the dishes really stood out to me. A real disappointment. The presentation of the food on our plates was impressive but that is where it stopped. PRICE: reasonable price. SERVICE: Our waitress Mercedes was polite, attentive and courteous. AMBIENCE: The restaurant is pretty and has a lovely atmosphere CONCLUSION: I left so upset, disappointed and unsatisfied. I wasn't a bit Impressed. I can say with 100% certainty, I will not being going back... fhe cold food did me in.
