Brunch was excellent. First time here and it is a more unique brunch-but so so good! Definitely would go back to eat the spicy lamb dish again. Poached egg cooked to perfection. The little Cretan sausages were delicious. Also the fish platter is very good and filling. The service was excellent from every staff member. The ambiance is lovely with a lot of beautiful plants that warmed up the gray day outside. Can't wait to go back! read more

My friend and I have our birthdays in February. I wanted to do something special. My friend, his sister, and I came here to celebrate. The ambiance is wonderful, especially when it starts to get dark outside. There is beautiful graffiti to look at as you walk up to the restaurant as well. I think parking is ample, but it would be annoying if you had to use the parking garage that's pretty much next door. We got here before the dinner rush on a Sunday. Street parking is free. Getting right into it, we were instantly served an appetizer of what looked like cherry tomatoes on a vine with a small dish of oil, salt, and spices for dipping. The server said these tomatoes are flown in daily from overseas. It wasn't easy to eat. If you're on a first date, I'd just pop the whole tomato in my mouth, or try to cut the tomato in half carefully without it squirting everywhere. That way the contents of the dip dish will stick to the tomato. Additionally, I ordered us the calamari appetizer with some bread. It was delicious, but it didn't wow me. I had the octopus, and my friends had the beef and the eggplant. All were delicious. I wish I had ordered a larger portion of the octopus. Overall the portions are small, and for what we paid I think they could have come down on the price. It clocks for the area though. Everyone was nice, but if I am paying this much for a dinner, I don't want to watch children running around and making noise either. I don't consider this place a family restaurant. Especially when the focal point in this place is the bar. Desserts were okay. The server gave me a spoon to cut through my flaky apple dessert with barely any apple filling. What was there was delicious. Again, I would say re-think the portions or the pricing. Maybe consider adding a side to the octopus without increasing the cost. Dine here once for the experience. There are better Greek restaurants in Chicago. I would pay the drink prices and come here one more time, late, to check out who is sitting at the bar. I know how this area can get at night. I could see this place being fun. read more

This place has been on my list for a very long time and we got in for a Valentine's Day reservation. I was really excited about the limited menu because I wanted the shredded lamb shoulder. Our reservation was at 5:30... About as early as you can get for dinner and yet they were already sold out of the special so that was really disappointing that they would be so unprepared for one of the most popular dinner date holidays of the year... Alternatively, we went with a bunch of appetizers and split two entrées. Somewhere delicious somewhere very mid and somewhere a let down. Here's the breakdown: - Fried zucchini chips 5/5 - one of my favs in the city - Octopus 2/5 - one of my least favs in the city... it lacked flavor, was a small portion for the price and had a gooey string that grossed us both out - Fish spread that started with an M... haha 5/5 - I can't remember the name, but this was delicious! It was definitely pricey for the portion though especially because it didn't include pita... We had to pay an additional seven dollars for two pieces of pita, which was ridiculous - Oysters - 4/5 - husband enjoyed - Katifi cheese pie 4/5 - very tasty! Sweet and pricey but worth it - On special - fried fish- 2/5 - the waitress described these as small bite-size fish, but that is not how they came out and instead, it was really difficult to debone them and you hardly got any meat out of it. The flavor wasn't bad, but the experience was disappointing. I will say that they comped these after our feedback. - Gyros - 2.5/5 - it's not that these were bad per se... But I've had way better in the city to include fast, casual restaurants, and the price for the portion was pretty ridiculous again. Hardly any accoutrements. - Rockfish with pistachio brown butter - 5/5 - I believe this fish was on special and she described it as being a sweeter fish. They did come to the table and cut it for you so it was a lot easier to eat. The fish was cooked perfectly and had a sweet flavor. I also liked that you could choose your own dressing because the brown butter pistachio was delicious. - baklava froyo 3/5 - i'll bump this up to three because my husband liked it more than I did, but I was very disappointed by this dessert. The Greek yogurt was sour as to be expected, but instead of having actual baklava or pistachio flavor to balance it out, it basically just tasted like they dumped simple syrup on it and it was like a sour ice cream with just pure sugar drizzle... It really didn't come together for me. Overall, the service was really good and our waiter was very sweet. Also, our wine was delicious and the zucchini chips and fish spread were good, so maybe we would come for appetizers and drinks, but I definitely wouldn't return for a Greek dinner with the other options we have in the city. read more

Andros Taverna is a little gem. It's cozy and dim and beautiful, and the food is delicious. I wanted to try so many things, but we filled up on the mezze platter. They don't give you enough pita and charge $7 for 2 more, which is highway robbery, but they are the most delicious pita and frankly after I had it, that's all I wanted. We also shared the eggplant moussaka, which was very different than any moussaka I've had previously either in Greek town or Greece. It was a different flavor profile, and didn't have the bechamel or cream sauce I expected. It was okay, but I wouldn't get it again. What I *would* get is more of those beautifully roasted lemon potatoes. Crispy perfection! I can't wait to go back for a carb party where I eat all pita and potatoes! read more

We went there for a dinner on Wednesday. They seated us after a few minutes. The ambience was great and they have happy hour specials (although check ahead during holidays). Great for a date night or family dinner. The rum old fashioned and the mezze platter were delicious!!! We tasted the whipped feta, eggplant, and favas spread. The pita was soft and fresh too! They have an incredible dessert menu and espresso machine for post dinner indulgence! We will be back to try out other dishes on the menu. read more

A very nice place with great Greek food! perfect for a date, and don't miss the desserts as well

Ill be really honest, there is a LOT of hype amongst my friend group about this place. So, clearly it must be me, which is why im giving this 4 stars. Normally I would give this a 3 at best. First off, we had a reservation for 2 on a Saturday night. We were sat in the (heated) patio on metal seats. I dont know bro, it's Saturday night date night and I'm not 21. Metal patio seats? We were also sat right next to a table of 6 with 2 very loud children. Our reservation was at 7pm, we do this on purpose. Shouldn't kids who are young enough to not control their volume be in bed? Food was okay. The way people were talking about this place is expected to be blown away. I just wasn't. Wine list was mediocre at best, although my husband really liked the cocktail he got (Midas touch). Our server was really sweet and the timing of everything was perfect really. Again, I was just expecting so much more. read more

I've been on a Greek food kick lately and I recommend Andros Taverna. Located in Logan Square, this modern Greek spot feels elevated but still welcoming. We started with the Watermelon Feta salad with avocado, olives, sweet peppers with dill and drizzled with olive oil- a good summer salad! For the mains- we ordered the dry aged lamb chops and lemon garlic chicken. Both of the dishes are shareable and I highly recommend! The chicken includes fournou potatoes drizzled with lemon and olive oil! Both the meat dishes were juicy, tender, and flavorsome! Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and just the right amount of attentive. The space itself is beautiful -- modern but still cozy, with a slight open kitchen that gives it energy without feeling loud or chaotic. It's definitely worth visiting if you're craving Greek food with a refined twist. I'll absolutely be back, next time with an even bigger appetite. read more

A 10/10 experience! The server was friendly, the patio was beautiful and the food was divine. We started with the cherry tomatoes, and as someone who typically hates tomatoes, I was blown away by how delicious they were. They're served with cracked salt and Andros' house made seasoning blend and they were amazing. We also split the Feta Dip with pitas and it was one of the best appetizers I've ever had. For our main dishes, I got Georgie's Gyros and my boyfriend got the special Neck of Lamb. There wasn't as much meat on it as he would've enjoyed, but it was still tasty. The gyro was a standard, but delicious gyro! I also got a happy hour cocktail (Midas Touch). My boyfriend got the Ghia Spritz. Both were lovely additions to the appetizers. The appetizers were our favorite part, we'd love to come back and enjoy drinks and apps on the patio! read more

My friends and I had our first triple date at Andros Taverna, and it was a memorable experience. My fiancée and I took the Blue Line and walked about eight minutes from the station. We had a reservation at 6:30 PM on a Saturday. The restaurant was about 90% full when we arrived, and it became even busier around 7:30 PM. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance, especially if your party includes six or more people. Once we were seated, we began with a bottles of Zacharyas Assyrtiko wine and a side of fresh tomatoes. The tomatoes were incredibly fresh and juicy. Our waitress, T, checked in with us couple times to make sure if we have any questions or ready to take orders. For appetizers, we ordered the Mezze Collection, which included tatziki, tarramasalata, and spicy whipped feta. I recommend adding pita bread to pair with the dips. The Cretan sausage and grilled octopus were both outstanding, both dishes are fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. We ordered the large portion of octopus, which came with four tentacles. For our mains, we shared the 1.5 lb Lavraki, fournou potatoes, lamb chops and T-bones, and grilled halloumi. * 1.5 lb Lavraki: The whole fish was presented beautifully, and the store manager, David, kindly deboned it at the table. He double checked to ensure no bones remained before serving. The preparation highlighted the fish's delicate, sweet, and buttery flavor. I am honestly impress, and enjoy every single bite of the dish. * Chops and T-bones: The first lamb chop dish we received was not cooked to the right temperature. However, our amazing waitress, T, immediately replaced it and had the item removed from our check. The second plate was cooked perfectly. Each bite was rich, savory, and well seasoned. We were all very impressed with the team's professionalism and hospitality. For dessert, I recommend both the Loukoumades and the Baklava Froyo. * Loukoumades: These sweet fried dough balls were warm, crispy on the outside, and soft inside. * Baklava Froyo: A must-try for frozen yogurt lovers. It had a rich flavor with just the right amount of sweetness. Special shout-out to our waitress, T, and manager, David. The service was outstanding. We were well taken care of from beginning to end -- from wine refills to fish deboning. The kitchen clearly puts heart into every dish, and the staff ensures guests feel welcome and valued. We are looking forward our next visit! read more

I've driven by this place so many times and have always been so impressed by how crowded it gets during dinner time. We enjoyed their Italian sister restaurant next door for our Valentine's date that my wife and I decided to give them a try. We arrived for a week day late lunch and were immediately seated outside so we could enjoy the meal with our dog. QR codes on the tables, to help the planet and ease ordering. We came hungry, but due to most of their prices being in the 20s I we ordered two different appetizers to share and an entree to split. The calamari was the most disappointing to me. For the price over 20 I would have expected more in number, but it only consisted of a small series of baby octopus. It was a bit too salty for me as well. The roasted eggplant with an add-on of pita was a bit more suited for my pallet. Crispy vegetables are the set pairing, but I recommend adding on the pita as it was perfectly fluffy, warm, and a good hint of garlic. The vegetable pairing seemed a bit small for the roasted eggplant. Unfortunately the gyro was a let down as well. We were told it comes with fries, "it's under". So we didn't order a side of fries. We were greeted with a pleasantly appearing gyro in a wrap but the fries were probably 4-5 thick cut placed between the meat and the pita. It all felt under seasoned, dry or mostly overcooked pieces, and overall failing to satisfy a gyro crave. Unfortunately no picture of this one because we were so hungry at this point we just jumped in. If our server were to come back check to see if our meal was okay I'd probably let them know, but we were mostly left alone outside as we were the only ones out there in front. Parking is tough, mostly paid street or paid valet. Reservations would probably be a good idea for dinner dates. Outdoor seating during warmer weathers so it is per friendly. I feel as if the pricing vs food quantity and quality is off here so we probably won't be going back, but give them a try. Maybe you'll have a better experience. read more

food: Greek food, good clean flavors, gyro meat was good but the halloumi mushroom was surprising and might even be better, cocktails were also good and hh lasted till 630.

I came here for brunch but I definitely want to try this spot for dinner as the octopus looks delicious. The staff are all great as they welcomed me and my friend. Our waitress even gave us complimentary cherry tomatoes with olive oil, fresh oregano, and sea salt. They were very delicious! A very cute spot and they have a room where you can host a party. There was a party for a bridal shower when I went. For the food, I was in between the Spicy Lamb Wood Fired Pita ($19) and the Cretan ($16). I got the Cretan which I highly recommend! It's the perfect combination of protein and carbs. I loved the rosemary on top! They make their own sauces which are also delicious and flavorful. We also ordered some cocktails on their menu which I enjoyed the Salty Summer ($15). I highly recommend coming here as the staff are very nice, big dining area and kitchen, and the food is great. read more

Had a decent dinner here last week. I was disappointed there was no hummus on the menu, but tried the bean dip. It was pretty good, along with the pita and tomatoes. Started out strong. The chicken souvlaki was fine, didn't have enough chicken for me. The hot sauce truly turned me off, it was sweet and I honestly couldn't even eat it. I did order without the yogurt so recognize that was a choice (dairy issues), but I think of that hot sauce and gag. Fries were good, octopus was fine. Was kind of expensive, not sure we would try it again. Restaurant was nice and service was good. All in all, not bad but the food was maybe not worth what we paid. read more

Had to come here back to back just to make sure it was delicious as the last time. The answer is yes, absolutely. Come here. Located in Logan Square and has valet for $15 because parking there is dicey. This restaurants vibe is so calming and modern. We made reservations both times and it is highly recommended to do that because this place is bustling. Get the fish service. They come in different sizes for the fish and they serve it table side and filet it right there after it is cooked. We got the Greek branzino. Things I recommend: Grilled calamari - how did you guys get it that tender? Pita bread with any of the spreads- I tried the eggplant spread, mackerel spread and tzatziki spread one - all were so good and tasted fres with the pita bread that was so soft that it felt like it was made from a cloud! Lamb shank - I'm not even a big lamb eater and this was delicious. Lemon potatoes - how could you go wrong? Get the branzino! They filet it tableside and the oil and capers come on the side. Service was A+ I would recommend this place a thousand times over. Come here grab one of the midas touch cocktail, have a phenomenal meal. read more

Andros Taverna - Chicken Souvlaki - Greek Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Andros Taverna serves up a tasty Greek fare in Logan Square! Having tried Mano o Mano and Bastian Asador, I am pleased to vouched that my experience at all three of the restaurants of the Eat Well hospitality group were excellent. Andros Taverna in particular is supported by a strong culinary and wait staff. From the moment upon entry to leaving, I felt welcomed, taken care of and in great hands by David and his staff. Our server, T, was the most friendly and upbeat waitress! Andros also offers a variety of dining from baked goods, brunch, to full service dinner. I particularly loved their Olympia brunch dish with a hearty serving of lamb meat, sunny side up egg (they use eggs with orange yolk!) and fresh hand cut potato fries. I love their on the vein cherry tomato appetizer with olive oil, sea salt and house made seasoning is a healthy alternative than bread service at other restaurants. I love the small details and their testament to quality food. Can't wait to return for their dinner service next! read more

Brunch at Andros Taverna was amazing! I had their olive oil fried eggs with tiny Cretan sausages and herbs, plus a side of crispy potato hash -- everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The pistachio freddo was such a treat too -- creamy, nutty, and not too sweet. Even the little details, like the fresh tomatoes served with olive oil, sea salt, and nuts, made the experience feel extra special and fresh. The atmosphere is modern and warm -- perfect for a laid-back weekend meal with friends. Definitely one of my favorite brunch spots in Chicago! read more

We visited this place as it was around the corner from the Stan Mansion and we were seeing a show there. They also had valet parking which is a great asset when street parking is all that's available and that's hard to come by. They had outdoor seating, but we had made a reservation for indoors as one of our party has a hard time outside when the air is thick. When we arrived, every window was open and they sat us in their atrium like room. Again, every window was open, so it didn't matter where we sat. We were crammed into a table up against the front windows which thankfully, weren't open and the ones on the side of the table were, but there were no blinds and the sun beat down on us. The waiter came to our table to take our drink orders and to announce that the restaurant takes credit and cash only if in exact change as they don't have any cash to give back if you don't have exact change (then don't accept cash, duh!) I ordered the avgolemono soup and it wasn't the usual cream soup. And it was delicious. I then had the Greek chicken along with the roasted potatoes. The potatoes were mushy. I had a side of the lemon potatoes. Feel free to skip these. They're just roasted potatoes with a little lemon zest and are not worth the additional cost of an additional side. The chicken was good, but drowning in sauce. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well, but it was nothing really to write home about over any other Greek restaurant. And with so many options available, I'd say try them and skip this place. It was very pricey anyway. read more

andros taverna was really a quality experience (8.7/10) the restaurant serves cuisine rooted in greek heritage but with a modern twist - so plenty of seafood options on the menu. you know they mean business when they fly their seafood in from greece three times a week. we ordered their sardine special and it was really delicious - nicely seasoned, doused in olive oil, and the natural flavor of sardines shone through we also got their octopus dip (skordalia) with hummus on the side and it was fantastic. the pita was freshly baked and the toastiness was truly soul-warming on the cold winter day. I personally loved the addition of the red pepper paste on top of the dip - added a slight spice and sweetness to the potato based dip. we ordered their signature roasted lemon garlic half chicken per recommendation and was blown away by how well-cooked it was. juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor from the spice rub. even the breast was perfectly cooked through - and that truly takes some skill especially when the chicken is served on the bone ended the meal with loukoumades, or what seemed to resemble small donut holes soaked in honey syrup. SO GOOD. it came out warm and gently soaked / coated with the syrup, but wasn't too sweet. I'm not a donut person but had to admit that I could just keep eating this one if no one stopped me read more

Drinks: - N/A Food: - The Octopus is a must get. I don't know what they did to get it to be so tender and decadent. It's also a large portion. It is a more expensive dish, but so worth it. The portion and the quality are unmatched - The Chicken Souvlaki is good. I liked that it's a massive portion so it's actually good to share, I don't think I can eat this by myself. Nothing to really write home about, but it's a safe pick for something that's good and will fill you up - The Beets & Feta was also good. I wished there were more beets and less feta though. I did appreciate the herbaceousness, and nuttiness from the complimentary ingredients Ambience: - This place was packed, definitely should have a reservation to go here - I really liked how high up the plant placement was, it incentivized me to look up and appreciate how tall the ceilings are - This place gives off an industrial, sturdy, and concrete jungle type vibe. The plants makes the place feel more alive, but all the grey/concrete textures give off a sturdy vibe Overall: Loved the octopus and the service. The décor was interesting and well curated. It's just overall a good spot for a nice dinner. It's very loud by virtue of being packed with people, so I'm hesitant to say this is a date spot since you might find yourself yelling across the table to communicate. I have nothing bad to say about this place, but yet I can't quite put my finger on why I don't have any motivation to visit again read more

I came here for dinner and it was a lovely experience. Our server was nice patient and sweet. He served us a free app of tomatoes and oil. My favorite part was the house made seasoning of garlic and pepper blend. I ordered the cheese pie that I saw so many reviews about. It was super tasty but I recommend sharing unless you looove cheese. After too many bites, you'll loose interest. The pistachios really add additional texture to the dish. Additionally, I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki. The plating is massive and the gyro is big as well. I felt the chicken was season welled and slightly juicy. Everything was delicious but I felt paying $24 for a chicken gyro was wild (hence the reason for my rating) otherwise, I'm returning for brunch and dinner once more. read more

Bare with me here at the risk of sounding annoying: I have genuinely been wanting to go here for almost 2 years, and I found the food to be pretty forgettable. The service was good overall, and the atmosphere is very open and almost feels corporate ? However, I went to Greece over the summer and I expected the food to not taste as good as Greece but at least taste pretty good for the price ??? The whole experience felt very lackluster. We started off with the meat skewers, and the house salad. The salad was very dill, but still very good. The lemon potatoes and chicken however, left a lot to be desired. Everyone said that these pitas are some of the best in the city and to me they just tasted like Trader Joe's. Overall, the food is good , it has flavor and it tastes fresh. However, the price of the food is not worth the fact that it's nothing special. read more

I came in for brunch today and didn't feel I was met with the Andres Taverna quality I'm used to - the meat (both chicken and gyro meat) felt it had been dried out and burnt (almost as if it was from the previous day) and the brunch flavors were severely lacking.

Good food, interesting menu, hit or miss staff, long wait times. If you sit at the bar make sure Jeremy takes care of you - he is THE BEST, he makes amazing cocktails and is engaging with the customers and has an eye out for anyone who may look like they're not getting fast enough service and he goes and helps them out. The rest of the place could take a tip or two from him. We had a reservation but waited almost an hour past it for a table to open up. The manager apologized and gave us some tomatoes and oil which was nice but the rest of the meal was just ok, and at the end the waiter got us our check so fast it was like they were waiting to bulldoze the place down. I figured waiting patiently for a table for that long and spending that much on food and drinks. They would've at least wanted to see if we were done yet. Try to find a time when the place is quiet and give it a shot - and try the fried cheese app it was great. read more

I tried this spot based on a positive review from some influencer. Big mistake. The lamb neck was not braised as advertised. It was served lukewarm, undercooked and tough. I had a hard time cutting it with my knife. I sent it back and ordered the lamb chops. The order was 3 lollipops, one of which was almost entirely hard fat and inedible. For $50!!! All 3 pieces were lukewarm. It came with a red sauce that added no value and tasted like it came from a can. The bartender was accommodating and very polite. And the atmosphere in the restaurant was nice. But I felt like the food was a sham. Won't be back. read more

Great spot to come to with a big group! I made a reservation for 8 about a week in advance and even called to see if it could be 9 instead, and they were very nice and accommodating. We did have to wait about 20-30 min once we arrived for our reservation which they turned the table over, but we were seated at this interesting triangle table which was a new experience for me. Definitely better than one long table because you could see everyone! Not as good as a circle table though. The service was wonderful. They brought out a huge box for us to see all of the fish options, it was wild! The dips and spreads we shared were presented really nicely and delicious, most with a fun unique twist. I appreciated that everyone got their own pita for dipping, which made sharing easier too. We ordered the watermelon feta salad, potatoes, and a fish dish from the specials menu that day. The salad was yummy but really just a block of watermelon with a piece of feta and avocado on top, so a little underwhelming of a presentation. The potatoes were delicious. The fish was really yummy and flavorful, but I found the bones to be quite annoying and hard to find. The espresso martini I got was also really good! Overall it was a fun place to come for a celebratory group dinner. Good food and ambiance, just not any dishes I am still thinking about, although I enjoyed it a lot. In a city where it's tough to make reservations with a week's notice (especially for a big group) this is a great option!! read more

A go-to for brunch in Chi! The aesthetic is beautiful, lots of natural light & greenery. Service was great. Lots of options on the menu, and the coffee freddos are easily a highlight/must-try. read more

Andros Taverna - Coffees! - A group of people is gathered around a wooden table, each holding a glass of iced coffee with foam and striped straws. The table has menus, a glass of water, and some utensils. One person is reaching across the table, and another is holding a small cup. The setting appears to be a café or restaurant with a casual atmosphere. - Greek Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

First time trying Indian food, and this place did not disappoint! The Mango Lassi was delicious, the Butter Chicken could use a bit more spice, and the Paneer Tikka Masala was fantastic. The Chicken Biryani had a great flavor, and the garlic bread was tasty, just wish there was a bit more of it. Great variety and definitely worth trying! read more

What can I even say except that this is the type of Greek food the city of Chicago has been waiting for!! Going to Andros Taverna was a super last minute decision that was made on a busy Saturday for brunch but it was truly the best experience we could have asked for! Right off the bat, you will notice the beautiful aesthetics of this super bright, modern, and chic restaurant. There is so much gorgeous greenery, huge windows, and ample sunlight pouring in. This is a very busy place, especially on weekends so make sure you make reservations ahead of time, and it will be 10000% worth it. Let's talk food - you HAVE to try a few different mezze's to start off. We got the traditional tzatziki (AMAZING), charred eggplant (YUMMY), santorini favas (so freaking good!!!), and the best of all - spicy whipped feta. Might I say, it was the BESTTTTT spicy whipped feta I have ever tasted. It was so fluffy, so delicious, and just not enough!! We had to order more because we just could not stop eating it! What really puts the cherry on top is their fantastic wood fired pitas. They. Are. UNREAL. The flavor, the char, the delicious seasoning on top - there is not a single pita I have had that beats this one!! The main course only got better - the chicken souvlaki was tender and juicy and flavorful and crispy all at once. The spicy yogurt, fries, lettuce, and tomatoes complimented the chicken so well and made for the perfect bite every single time! We also tried georgie's gyro which represented the traditional gyro - once again, perfectly flavored and absolutely delicious. This is truly one of my favorite restaurants in the city because not only do you get delicious food, you also get the most amazing ambiance, incredible service, and the best vibes! Cannot wait to go back and try beef keftedes and short rib pasta! If you are craving amazing Greek food, this is the spot for you! read more

We had dinner here on Christmas Eve - my kids, nephew, brother, and me. When our server first came to us, she seemed knowledgeable and helpful, but she became less and less so and eventually started to get snippy and argumentative. At first, we were trying to place our order and she said, " I'm just answering questions right now ". With drinks - they brought out a bourbon on the rocks when we had ordered it neat. No big deal - they brought us a new one right away. But then when we ordered another, they brought it on the rocks again. We ordered fish and the price on the menu is per pound, but the fish was apparently 1 1/2 pounds - prior to it being filleted at our table. After deboning and skinning it was about 1/2 pound and had very little flavor and cost $87. I spoke with the waitress about the eggplant dish both during the time when she was " only answering questions " and then again when we ordered. After everything else we ordered had come out, I asked her where the eggplant dish was, and she said " we don't have any side dishes that are eggplant ". It was strange - she acted as if I had never mentioned eggplant to her. Their in-house soda was $4.50 per glass, which I understand because it was made in the house. But then when my kids ordered a simple Diet Coke they charged $4.50 per glass as well. Our bill ended up to be over $700, with tip. I gave her 20% only because I knew I was going to write this review later. And I didn't want to upset my kids on Christmas Eve. There was a really nice woman there who had a cute sweater on. She helped us out for a few minutes and she was soooooo helpful! Too bad she wasn't there to guide us through the experience. Fair warning. Ask questions, don't order the fish, and don't take any lip from any snippy servers! read more
