    Phyllo feta

    FYI their hours have not been updated anywhere (Yelp, Instagram, or website) - but they're open for lunch and dinner 7 days/week now. Food and service were both great. The octopus was stellar. Can't wait to go back.

    BarVera was an excellent choice for our anniversary. We had a reservation at 7ish on a Friday and were seated immediately. We sat at a high top across from the bar and could observe the bar and staff service of the whole space. Every table appeared to get just the right amount of checkins, which is also what we experienced. The server didn't introduce himself but was very pleasant and asked us what order we wanted food to come in. We had the Octopus and baba ghanouj as starters. The octopus was perfectly tender and was topped with baked eggplant, a potato, and frisée lettuce. It's exactly what I'm looking for when I order octopus. The baba ghanouj was a perfect texture with pomegranate seeds on top and two fresh puts on the side. It was delightfully tart and the pita was clearly freshly cooked. Highly recommend both. For mains my husband had the lamb and I had the shish tawouk. The server checked before bringing out the mains and then it was just a few minutes. The lamb absolutely fell off the bone and we took about half home and it was great day two. While the chicken was flavorful and juicy, the toum on my dish was the . For dessert we had the crème brûlée and lemon olive oil cake. The crème brûlée was light and yummy. I would skip the olive oil cake if we went again. It was good in the middle but $$ for what it was. I had the lemonade cocktail and it was yummy. My husband had the pomade and really enjoyed it. Overall I'm very happy with the service and food. We'd definitely go again.

    Eating here feels like you're sitting in someone's home (in the best way possible). The service was great and attentive. The food was fresh and flavorful. GET the lemon potatoes!!! The cocktails were also very good, and definitely well balanced. I will be going back here many, many times.

Definitely appreciate the staff recommendations on portion sizes, plates to share for the table, and wine pairings. We enjoyed a little bit of everything: dips/salads, traditional grilled meats, roasted vegetables. It's hard to imagine not being able to find something for any type of diet/preference. Would come back again for sure, as they have an extensive list of options to try. Great spot within walking distance of downtown Stamford hotels.

Meanwhile some white diners came in, and they hurriedly ushered them smiling to a table. Didn't give us menus (but gave menus to all diners that came in after us) until I flagged someone down for them. I watched them give complimentary bread and sauce to every other table except ours. I had to interrupt one waiter to ask about it and he shrugged me off, not even stopping to look at me, and muttered he'd get it. He got us bread but not the sauce, I had to ask him if it comes with the bread he said no. Later I asked another diner if it was complimentary, he said yes. It's unbelievable, we spent more than 100$ here to be treated like beggars. I would suggest any POC stay away; we were made to feel incredibly unwelcome and uncomfortable. On the other hand, the food was barely mid. The veal was so tough it was like eating rubber. In the end we couldn't finish it because it just wasn't good. I am not even sure if perhaps on purpose they gave us expired food because afterwards my friend and I both got upset stomachs. If you must be in Stamford you should take your business elsewhere, perhaps dont support a racist establishment.

Must be under new ownership or at least new cooks in the kitchen, judging by the change in quality and taste of the food. The people in the kitchen seemed to be primarily Spanish-speaking. Ordered the chicken kebab wrap and schwafel. Chicken was very dry and drowned in sauce that tasted more like mayo than tahini. They were kind enough to make me a new one after seeing that I was picking at the wrap and the cook explained that chicken breast in the kebab is usually dry. Funny - it wasn't this dry the many times I've had it before. The kebab also lacked the flavor and spice that it had previously. The wrap itself was also thin, dry and unpleasant. They used to use a flour wrap which I think they changed to something akin to cardboard. The scwafel wrap was also very dry. The seating area is small but the workers are very nice and keep it relatively clean. Prices have crept up, as they have everywhere. Given the decline in taste and quality and increase in price, I cannot justify going back to Layla's. The end of an era. I wish they would bring the previous owners/or at least teach the new crew how to make a proper kebab.

My wife and I had just wrapped up a long day of running errands and decided to end it with a great meal. Well, the day did not end quite as expected. we were not exactly "Greenwich dressed." We walked in without a reservation and asked for a table for two. We were offered a table outside or seats at the bar. Since it was getting chilly, we initially decided to leave. A couple of minutes later, we changed our minds and decided to brave the dropping temperature. When we returned and asked if we could take the outside table after all, the host, who we later learned was the manager, sighed, rolled his eyes, and looked visibly annoyed. My wife and I looked at each other, confused by the reaction. She asked him if something was wrong. We sat down, but by then she was too upset to enjoy dinner. I have never seen react that way. His reaction was way too out of place for us both to feel weird-judged, discriminated. I am still unsure. I told the manager that I honestly could not remember the last time I had seen a restaurant manager react to a customer that way. We got the whole combo: sigh, eye roll, and the look. It felt very 1980s. I thought we had moved past that kind of service, especially in a place like Greenwich. Apparently, I was wrong. Bad service still exists. And apparently, it is at a restaurant near you: Mediterraneo in Greenwich.
