1: We got stressed out to find a parking space, fortunately we found one empty spot on the front after we made only one circle around the building, was nothing empty behind.
2: We had made reservations for the dining area but the waitress wanted to sit us by the door. We rejected her idea and we moved from there to the main room.
3: We ordered fast (we had checked the menu on line) the appetizer came half an hour later and the main dishes another half hour later. We started wondering if they went to the super market to get the ingredients.
4: One appetizer and two main dishes (two people) with tax and tip $110,00.
5: Nice atmosphere, decorated with ancient Greek statues and jars in the recesses of the walls. Tables covered with white table-clothes (very unusual) but the employees were more than the customers (Tuesday night) that makes you feel uncomfortable and also wondering about the future of this place.
6: This place is not running by Greeks. It's like going to a Chinese restaurant which is running by Mexicans.
Now let's go to the food.
The appetizer was Garides Saganaki or prawns with plaki sauce (roasted onions, tomatoes & vegetables). That was the highlight of the evening which was delicious.
Unfortunately the sea-bass was not soft, that means frozen, and probably microwaved. This dish came in a Melania's upside hat and it was full of hot vegetables in a soup, but the sea-bass in the middle was cold(!). All this unhappy experience, for only... $38.00.
As far the Mousaka, goes, the sliced potatoes and the eggplants were okay, but the bechamel sauce was paper thin and burned. The lamb ragout tasted more like hard ground beef.
One star for the elegant and classy environment and another star for the appetizer.
Bottom line: our experience was bitter sweet special for so much money. I wish them well, but we don't plan any visit at least for the near future.
Another one off my bucket list.
