| - My husband and I were excited to find a Greek restaurant that serves the filo-wrapped lamb and chicken (the Exohiko dishes). Hubbie ordered the lamb, and I went for the moussaka.
The experience started out so-so. The waiter did not ask us if we wanted any drinks. We would have ordered some if he had asked. All the waiters there look to have worked there for 50 years. Complementary garlic bread was OK - while it had real garlic on it, the bread seemed stale or had been sitting out too long. Complementary pickles and olives were OK too. I enjoyed the salad, which as others have mentioned was rather large and it was a bit different than the traditional Greek salad. We ordered a soup for our son, it was beef noodles. This was disappointing as it was very salty and tasted as if out of a can.
My moussaka was the biggest disappointment. The top layer of potato was springy like a sponge cake. The whole thing was too dry. I could not tasted the bechamel sauce. My hubbie said it tasted like it was in the freezer for a week. The lamb was OK but not memorable at all. The waiter never came back to check on our meal.
When the server finally came back to see if we were done, I complained about the moussake being the worst I've ever had and told him what was wrong with it. In a thick accent he asked, you want the boss? I said no, whatever, it doesn't matter.
Because after all, we had already decided we were never coming back. The cheque came and there was no discount for my complaining either.
Yup, never coming back. If the service was even just a smidgen better, we would consider going back.
