Very disappointing, to say the least…read more
This place was super busy when we arrived for dinner, and I thought that would be a good thing, but I was mistaken.
We were seated a small table in a corner and squished in against the table next to us. Barely had room to get to my seat, and it was awkward trying to squeeze past the tables of the diners on either side of us.
Our waitress gave us menus after she took us to our table, but took forever to come back and take our order. Yes, the place was busy, but waiting 15 minutes to order was not cool. At one point I was wondering if it was table service or counter service.
We ordered a platter to share and some souvlaki skewers, specifically asking the waitress if the food could all come out at the same time, and she assured us that it would, but that it could take up to 40 minutes for the food to arrive and we said that was fine.
Needless to say, about 20 minutes later the souvlaki skewers (delivered by a different waitress), and when I told her it was supposed to be served with the platter, she seemed thoroughly confused. She took the skewers back to the kitchen, and seemed to chat with someone in the kitchen. Then 5 minutes later, she came back out with our platter and skewers (the same ones she had taken back earlier), and again seemed very confused about the skewers. She put the plate down and announced they were checken and pork souvlaki skewers. I queried her on this as we had ordered chicken and lamb, and she was adamant they were chicken and pork. Another visit back to the kitchen and she came back and announced they were chicken and lamb souvlaki skewers. Definitely not a good sign when your waitstaff have no idea what they're serving.
The food was disappointing. I've been to other Greek restaurants before and in comparison, the quality was lacking. For a platter for 2, the quantities were small. 3 small pieces of potato for 2 people? 1 small bowl of salad to share. The only thing in abundance was the pita bread and the moussaka. We chose to have the eggplant dip with our platter, and the raw garlic in the dip was so so overpowering. The souvlaki skewers were underwhelming - the lamb was dry and overcooked, while the chicken was just ok.
All round, it wasn't a great experience. I'd like to say I'd give them another chance, but I won't be. My sister ended up getting sick after our dinner, and that was a deal breaker for us.
