| - Service is a 5 star rating. Food is a 3 unfortunately.
We went at opening on a Saturday and the tucked away restaurant filled steadily. We were instructed to sit wherever and we chose to sit on the patio. The patio had black metal furniture with outdoor cushions on the chairs and an array of different plates at each setting. Small ficus trees were in planters and lined the patio perimeter. Quickly after sitting, the waitress brought menus for us and the 2 other parties who entered at the same time. Our waitress was fantastic and was always on top of everything for all the guests. She continuously refilled everyone's drinks, and appropriately asked if food was good and if she could get us anything else.
The other staff that brought plates and cleared them, were great as well.
The food- I am no stranger to Greek or Middle Eastern food, and we had high hopes for this restaurant based on reviews, but it was just ok food. We ordered a Sampler platter that began with a P and had Dolmades, falafel, Spanakopita, hummus and baba ghanoush. The Spanakopita did not taste fresh, seemed reheated and underdone phyllo dough. The dolmades were a good flavor, hot, served with a bit of marinara(which was odd) and we didn't see meat, the Falafels were very dry & crunchy and tasted not fresh, the baba was very garlicky but good and hummus was a typical plain but good, but both were much creamier than we are used to and the pita bread was very good and freshly warmed.
Since everything was just okay, at that point I ordered only a Greek Salad, which seemed fresh and produce was chopped in large chunks. Nothing to write about and my husband ordered the Gyro plate. I have never had gyro meat like that, never ever. It was large weird cuts, pretty bland, pink in middle and a weird texture(almost soggy). It was not a typical gyro meat. Fries were large and tasted fine. I don't know what happened, felt like we got the leftovers from a new cook. We won't be back. Again the service was excellent, but that is it.
