I came away thinking the Blue Dolphin may have been a better restaurant in the past. I visited on a Friday night around 7pm. The staff was very friendly and professional. The atmosphere is an open two level floor plan with one wall dominated by a mural of Grecian landscape. The floors are clean and bathroom is well kept. The letdown came with the food. The dishes came exclusively from the Blue Dolphin Specialities section of the menu. The lemon rice soup was bad. Like couldn't finish it bad. The Chicken Souvlaki was dry and tasteless. If you order any style of Greek chicken at a Greek restaurant you should get a solid meal. Not the case here. I noticed spaghetti and meat sauce was a specialty so I took a chance hoping for a secret family recipe or something. Negative. The sauce is very tomato-ie (is the best way I can describe it). Similar to what you'd expect from a inexpensive jar. All in all it was a very disappointing evening. For their sake, I hope it was just a bad night in the kitchen.

Got greeted nicely at the door and seated right away. In 2 min got a glass of ice water without asking. Service was very good and friendly. The atmosphere was homey and comfortable. I got Saganki. It’s a flaming cheese put out with a lemon wedge served with pita bread. A gyro I asked for the meat crispy, onions sautéed, no lettuce, and feta cheese plus extra homemade taziki sauce. I got a house salad with a very VERY good house dressing. Everything was delicious no complaints. In the back is free parking the waitress said even though it was you need a permit.

My favorite restaurant for morning, noon and night with breakfast all day and daily lunch/dinner specials. My favorite Greek restaurant, as well. I don’t understand the one review that said it is pricey because it is just the opposite, with large quantities and low prices. They serve my favorite hamburger, with fries, for $5.95 snd it’s huge. The best part of it all is the Stamos family who own this restaurant, and their father Pete before them. Loving people serving food made with love and the fabulous Miguel in the kitchen (try his tacos on Tuesdays)...yum.

I have not been to this place in over 20 years. When I went back, not much changed. Still under the same ownership. The food is fantastic. My favorite is the Saganaki, which is the reason why I chose to dine here while visiting my family and friends.
