  • Since I can't figure out how to reply to you, Ric, I will do it as a preamble to my review: I appreciate innovation. In fact, there used to be a mediterannean restaurant on Edmonton trail that created truly updated fare...what many restaurants in Europe (as well as North America) are doing now...NOT cliche rehashes of traditional Greek Dishes. Innovation is not what you are doing my friend. I appreciate innovation, not mediocrity. Nice try at spin! Original Review: I have eaten more than my share of Greek Food, in many restaurants and Greek homes. It pains me when a Greek restaurant dishes up cliche after cliche in order to satisfy what they think a Western palatte will tolerate. I have also had my fill of "opas" and broken plates. I ask all my Greek friends if this is truly a Greek thing, and they all say that it is a show for the tourists, and that no one broke plates when they were growing up (at least not on purpose). When you see what has been coming out of restaurants in Greece in recent years, one can see how the cuisine is evolving. Not here though. The dishes have not changed much from what has been served to "Canadians" in pseudo-Greek restaurants for the past 40 years. Some of the appetizers are quite good (dips etc.) so I will not give this restaurant a 1, but I would like to see more truly authentic (traditional and modern) dishes on their menu. When the restaurant first opened, there was a fantastic dish with shrimp and feta - flavourful! It was quickly dropped from the menu and replaced by something buttery and mediocre. This restaurant also decided to go the franchise route and opened up too many locations too quickly. The quality dropped. I have gone three times, and will never go back...unless the restaurant reinvents itself. I challenge the Broken Plate to bring true Greek cuisine to Caglary and offer a few more contemporary dishes as well.
