Service: 6/5 Vegas immediately greeted me warmly upon entry. She checked on me throughout my lunch and bid me farewell as I left.

Prices: 3/5 The value of this special event was around $40.

I had a drink, one lamb and one steak skewer with rice and a Greek salad, as well as baklava for dessert

It’s an amount that I would spend on a ‘higher end meal’, usually. Portion size was fair and I’m sure that most people will have a meal for now and later.

Ambiance: 5/5 This location was super clean! I really loved that. Vegas was cleaning throughout her shift and as people left. She also grabbed some of my empty dishes.

Taste/Textures: 5/5 Really quite high-quality food here. Traditional choices. Steak was tender and so was the lamb. I also realize that I just don’t prefer lamb and that’s OK! Salad was filling and delicious, it was seasoned well, my only issue is that they don’t come with salad dressing of any sort. So I had to ask for ranch. Dessert was also super tasty.

However, I didn’t know if it was OK that the baklava was crunchy and dry, for some reason, I thought it would be more moist and flaky like a croissant. This could be my own ignorance.

TLDR:

Very traditional Greek food with cream tasting and appearing...

My wife and I went here before a movie. We were concerned with how much time we would have to eat before our movie, however the service was quick and we had our food shortly after we ordered it. My wife ordered a Chicken Great Greek Gryo and I had the Gyro with the Beef/Lamb. We ordered one of our sandwiches as a combo meal, with fries and a drink. The amount of food we received was more than enough for both of us. Had we wanted the same sandwich we could have ordered just one combo meal and still been quite full. My wife's chicken gyro could have had more flavor with the chicken and came across slightly tough. The slices of the beef/lamb meat were overly thick. The thickness of these slices did not allow for any crust to develop on the meat. There was some flavor to the meat, but I would have preferred more. The fries were perfectly fried and were quite good. While the portions were huge, the quality didn't seem to reflect the price. Overall we paid over $35 for this meal. I would have preferred a smaller portion, with more flavor, a more flavorful meal could have warranted this price point. I wouldn't avoid this place if it was suggested, but likely wouldn't go out of my way to...
