| - We had late lunch here today and got great service from a young gentlemen named Mitch. Because we were feeling like comfort food and heard great things about the restaurant we were anxious to try this place as we are desperate for a regular place to dine and unfortunately had more than our share of mediocre food in our neighborhood.
After a long convo with Mitch who shared his faves on the menu, we started with a salad that came with Greek dressing and the lemon chicken rice soup. Salad had two slices of tomato, a few slices of cucumber and Greek dressing on the side. Didn't really care for the salad as the dressing was more thousand island lite but without taste. I was more in the mood for and expecting a vinaigrette dressing with red onion and feta. As far as the soup, it sounded interesting and we were game to try new things so we ordered it. Suggestions for improvement would be to bump up the rice a tad, take back the lemon taste a bit, control the filmy oily taste that was floating on top and I would of liked to see more then one very small chunk of chicken in the soup.
For an appetizer we ordered the Shrimp Saganaki. It was a hot dish served on a skillet. The shrimp came out hot and was drenched in marinara, feta cheese, onions and came with a little portion of pita bread on the side. I liked the taste of the fresh tomatoes and the size of the shrimp was decent but again, we tried it and felt it was greasy.
For the main dishes we ordered spaghetti and the meatloaf with mash potatoes and veggies. Both orders were generous in portion but we only ended up enjoying one dish and that was the spaghetti. The noodles were hot and al dente, the sauce just the right balance to the meat sauce and the marinara had a nice subtle sweet taste. This dish I would go back for.
As far as the meatloaf, it came out cold, when I forked one tiny slice it felt rough and a bit hard and when I finally took one bite of it I decided just to send it back because if you're following my reviews food served cold and without taste is one of my pet peeves.
For dessert, Mitch gave us not one but 2 slices of baklava which was served hot with a drizzle of syrupy sauce. It was quite nice.
As far as parking is concerned be prepared to have to find a spot. We parked on the side of the road as one side of the street is designated 30 minute parking and we aren't the kind of diners that can eat in 30 minutes.
All in all, the servers are friendly, the place is clean and note that the restaurant is in soft launch and that they are giving the community 20% off this month. It's a good way for us to taste a few things from the menu and at the same time work out the kinks.
