| - Sad.
I don't want to give a bad review, but I have to be honest and I feel I was mislead by all the reviews I read on this place.
First impression I wanted to run back out and so did my husband, but given the rave reviews I thought we should stick it out.
The "decor" (if you could call it that) was cold, unwelcoming and very confusing. The front booths had no color and checkerboard tablecloths like a diner/pizza joint, while the back was mostly tables with green walls and tons of junk on display. The back wall had a large ladder leaning against a door which lead me to hope they were remodeling the new location. The ceiling "tiles" had paint missing and weird pieces of red fabric over the lights along with red glass pendant lights. The front counter (bakery type display) was enormous but completely empty. Hmmm
So we sat down and the girl brought us menus. The tables around us were dirt with dirty dishes/food and remained that way for our meal. The menu seemed promising with lots of choices Athenian, Greek, Italian (perhaps too many?).
I started with lemon chicken soup ($3.45) that tasted canned (the chicken had the consistency of Campbell's chicken noodle soup). We asked the server for his recommendation. He said he likes the "chicken pita"...so, I asked which one? He didn't know. What is in it? He did not know...
OK...
So we went with the Kalamata ($8.95) as that was what I was leaning towards. We also ordered the $10.95 Gyro Burger, medium...sounds interesting.
The salad was "ok", and the chicken pita tasted "spongy like microwaved from frozen" according to my husband and the tzatziki sauce was watery and bland. The burger had a "square" corners on it and was chewy like only frozen beef can feel. It was also a distinct "well done", however thank goodness it wasn't undercooked as my hubby & I were sick the rest of the day.
At the end of our meal a very sweaty dirty man with long greasy hair (Mike?) came out to ask how everything was...really?
Servers were nice and attentive (1 star), but we won't be going back. Very disappointed as I LOVE Greek food and we really need some variety around here.
