I took a friend here for her birthday dinner. We had seen the reviews and had great expectations.
It was pretty bad, all around.
First our server, Bethany? I think it was. We get seated and it takes 5-10 minutes before she comes to the table. She brings no menus and simply wants to know what we want to drink.
As we have no menu and no idea what they have, I simply ask for coffee. She moans "I'll have to make some, but sure, no problem"
As she turns to leave, we ask if we could have menus. "Sure, no problem"
Another 5 minutes or so later, my coffee lands in front of me, with not a pack of sugar, milk, or anything. As she turns to leave again, I ask if I could get some cream. "Of course, no problem"
Another 5 minutes pass, and she finally comes to ask if we want any appetizers. We try the "crispy calamari". They arrive 5 minutes later, rubber in a shell, without any flavor whatsoever, served with..of course, Tzatziki. She didn't have any small plates....but she'd try to find us some. I said it's ok, don't worry about it. Not going to wait ANOTHER 5 minutes to see her again.
Now I LOVE Tzatziki, just not one bit on my $18 worth 8 small rings of calamari. They usually have a lemon/garlic sauce or AT LEAST a tomato sauce.
On the second ring, she must have seen my face, she came to ask how it is and I said "Frankly, it's rubber" And I let her take it away.
A few minutes later came the main course. I had the Gyro plate. Comes with 2 sides she says. I am confused..it's gyro.....fries maybe? Anyways, I ask for the salad and a side of veggies.
Oh man....some dry, sad looking slices of reshaped gyro meat, I suspect it was microwave heated by the texture and taste. No crunch at any edge, NOTHING to go with, but a pita and Tzatziki!
If I had not ordered a salad as side dish, I would have had NOTHING at all to add to it. No onions, no tomatoes, no lettuce, no nothing at all. The side salad had TWO sad little pieces of onion.
$16 for a pita with some reheated, no crust, ground meat slices gas station style. I ate half of it and just couldn't go any further.
The veggies tasted horrible, not sure what spice fell on those. Can't even describe the flavor of that cauliflower.
I never got a refill on my coffee. My friend had the lamb, and she said it was ok, bit overcooked, but fine. She's better than I. When she too was DONE eating, our server came to ask if she wanted some more water. Her glass had been empty since she got the meal. She actually asked her at that time, why she would wait to offer her more water until she was DONE with her meal and ready to go. At this time my credit card had been waiting slightly over the edge of the table to be noticed...another 5 minutes or so. We both agreed the waitress was just completely inattentive and a bit rude. Service, D-, food average C- ambiance? I'd have said nice, if it wasn't for the fact that there was a completely out of place Big Screen TV running and when you first walk in it is DARK until your eyes adjust. Everything was a pain, everything had to be asked for. Nothing was offered. Not even napkins to help with the messy sauces. You just get that one black thing that doesn't soak up anything and then gets all gross while you are suppose to reuse it. No information on drinks, an exchange of "do you have..?" But other then wine, water and soda, you are much on your own
The total came to $40, I guess they didn't charge for the calamari. 1 star for that. read more
