Looking to try a new restaurant this weekend we decided on Skorpio's for some Greek.
Immediately upon entering we were kind of put off with the cleanliness of the place, the ceiling tiles / fans were all covered in dust, the register area and counter area were cluttered up, overall just a bad first impression. One of the workers was actively standing on a chair attempted to fix the AC or something so we waited for him to finish and allow us to be seated.
The friendly waitress came over & gave us 2 pretty disgusting menus (paper, clearly used a bunch and in need of replacement) and asked if we wanted any drinks, we asked for just water to start. She politely came back a few minutes later with 2 glasses of ice and straws, nothing in them...ok? Came back to take our order, they were out of all the "greek beer" and only had bud light, heineken, and corona...ok guess I'll stick to water. Finally realizes she didn't bring us any and showed up with 2 bottles of poland springs and took our food order.
All the while we waited for our food the waitress was coughing up a storm, thankfully she was wearing a mask, but in the current climate someone coughing that much probably shouldn't be at work.
We ordered chicken souvlaki, greek salad, gyro, & fries. The food came out and it was actually pretty good, which was a saving grace for this visit. The service sizes were also very large, to the point we brought leftovers home & probably have enough for 2 more meals.
The waitress (while polite and friendly to us) was just milling around complaining about not having more menus, needing to get more from staples, how they were in rough shape, and complaining to the cook about not having greek beer, among other items out of stock, just seemed like an odd situation overall.
The restaurant is older, not really kept up, pretty dirty, and the atmosphere was just off. Thankfully the A/C & fans worked well as it was 85+ outside and inside felt nice and cool.
Overall I do not think we'll be coming back here anytime soon, especially with multiple other Greek restaurants in the village, the food was good, but doesn't really make up for the rest of the situation they have going on, maybe stick to delivery / pickup if you want to check...
Read moreSuch a great gem in a sea of restaurants in Huntington Village! My girlfriend and I got dinner here before a show at the Paramount. I was able to make a reservation at our preferred time the same morning of the show, just to be safe.
We both got the chicken souvlaki dinner combo…comes with soup, salad, entree and you’ll always get tzatziki and warm pita bread when you first sit. I got the lobster bisque soup and it was hearty and delicious. Girlfriend got the lemon chicken soup and it also tasted great and so flavorful.
The entree portion was enough to feed two people, which makes it a fantastic value considering I thought the price was fair. We both brought home more than enough leftovers for a plentiful lunch tomorrow. We asked for some more tzatziki sauce and pita to bring home too and they accommodated.
Definitely will come here again and I highly recommend Skorpios as your go-to very reasonably priced Greek spot when you are heading to the Paramount! Restaurant is just a 2 minute walk...
Read moreSkorpio's brings Greece to you right here on Long Island. Opa!!! The food here is both plentiful and delicious. The artfully painted walls depict the beauty of the islands in the Aegean and Ionian Seas. Tonight we started with Saganaki. The cheeses were tasteful, and cherry tomatoes roasted delivered an addictive sweetness. For dinner, I enjoyed their Gyro sandwich. It was so big; half went home. My husband opted for the dinner special of Sauteed Soft Shell Crabs in a Francaise sauce. He remarked the crabs were a good size and prepared perfectly. Lemonina, our server, was attentive, pleasant, and provided excellent service as was Nicole, who displayed masterful talent in public-relations. So when a desire to visit the Mediterranean arises and you can not make it to the airport, drive to Skorpio's in Huntington. Then head north and enjoy the views of the Long Island Sound. While you can't make a good comparison between the two, you can do takeout here and enjoy the...
