| - Background highlights: was in town for business; have traveled and eaten throughout multiple Greek islands; big fan of Greek food
Went with a co-worker on a Thursday evening around 6:30pm... sat at the bar and ordered various Happy Hour food specials for only $5 each.
Review.....
Food: Generally, All dishes were served in/around a metal ice scooper that sat atop of a med-sized white plate. Presentation was nice and simple. While the food was not cold, it wasn't hot either... could've been warmer (was probably served a few minutes too long after having been cooked)
Lamb Gyro - "make your own mini gryo's" served with plenty of meat that had a good amount of lamb flavor... was not overpowering, not overly cooked, not too thin... would definitely order this again.
Zucchini Chips - fried lightly-battered thin-sliced Zucchini chips. decent balance between amount of batter and Zucchini, though I would've preferred that the Zucchini was sliced a tad bit thicker for more bite and/or that a paper towel/napkin should've been placed underneath the chips to help absorb the oil... without it, each chip was a slight bit too oily. But overall, tasted great with lightly salted seasoning and tsatziki dipping sauce.
Mussels: good amount of mussels for only $5. sauce was light overall (lightly salted, hint of sweet, garlic, and lemon)... was able to really taste the mussels, which seemed fresh and not overly cooked. would definitely order again.
Fried Calamari: Was good overall, but a tad bit overly fried (like, by 1 minute or so)... the pieces were slightly hard/chewy as the squid meat was not delicate enough to the bite. was served with a lemon wedge and a lemon aioli dipping sauce .
Drink: initially couldn't make up my mind on which beer to order... the bartender was nice enough to allow me to sample a few... ended up with the Great Lakes Brewing Co. Lager... paired nicely with the lamb gyro.
Service: was slow initially, but great once tended to for the remaining experience... bartender was very friendly.
Overall, had a great dining experience... food was great, portion was good (was full afterward), price was really great (overall bill of $33 for two ppl). I was surprised that the restaurant was essentially empty, though to be fair, many restaurants in my 3/4 mile walk to there seemed empty as well (was surprised, considering it was a Thursday evening... more empty compared to other major cities I've traveled). I would come back for sure.
