I was at this restaurant on Friday evening with 4 others. I have eaten here before and the food good.
This time we were here for dinner. Food was decent and expected a nice meal out with friends.
There was an extremely large issue and I would never set foot again in the restaurant.
My friend chose the greek salad that came with the meal. It was not your typical salad and had no lettuce and the plate consisted of 90% tomatoes. She was not expecting a tomato salad! As most places do not serve like this, it was not what she expected.
When the waiter was asked to change salads to the marathon salad, he became disgruntled. We had to persuade him to ask the owner to replace the salad although only 1 or 2 bites were taken.
Normally a restaurant would not hesitate to make a change under these circumstances. I then spoke to the owner and explained the situation. The owner said he would replace the salad.
When the new marathon salad arrived, it was only lettuce and dressing. None of the items that come with salad were on it. Ie olives, cucumber, feta cheese, tomatoes.
The manager explained the lettuce was the addition to the greek salad to turn it into the marathon salad.
THE ORIGINAL SALAD WAS TAKEN AWAY!!! ALL THAT WAS LEFT WAS LETTUCE AND DRESSING!
We tried to explain it was not a full marathon salad and she was left with lettuce and dressing.
The owner refused to correct the situation and even accused my friend of trying to steal food . eating a bit or 2 of the greek salad, which was really a tomato salad and changing it to the Marathon Salad he considered to be stealing food!
I have never heard of anything so absurd in my life. The owner even continued argue and say this is how he serves a greek salad and she should have known what to expect and he is Greek and his is a "real" greek salad.
In the end nothing was resolved except unhappy customers who wont come back again.
No wonder the waiter was disgruntled, he has been trained by the owner!
Arguing and accusing the customer of stealing?
Hence the reason it is a 1 star review. Unfortunately we could not give it less!
