Review by megmegs on July 16, 2007

There was a large outdoor seating area and we had a perfect table on the very edge so that we didnt feel obtrusive having a 6 year old and a 1.5 year old with us. The ingredients of the food seemed extremely fresh and nothing tasted pre-made. The appetizer spanykopyta (spinach & cheese inside a puff pasty) was absolutely delicious. But, the hummus was very plain and was nothing to write home about. However, the pita that was served with it was delicious, soft, and warm. The childrens spaghetti had a very fresh tasting tomato sauce and the adults finished off what the children couldnt eat. The gyro platter was piled high with gyro meat which was very tasty but it was served with french fries which was a little disappointing. The salads were piled high with fresh vegetables and both patrons finished off every last bite. Overall, the food was definitely of high quality, however, the price was a bit too high to make this a casual night out.

Stopped in for a quick lunch and wound up spending over an hour and a half because the service was inattentive. There were only 2 or 3 other tables occupied at the time. My gyro was tasty and generously stuffed with lamb, but the food quality doesn't make up for the poor service.
