I stopped here for dinner on a Saturday night on a business trip. I figured that any restaurant close to the base would be able to serve up delicious food with a short wait time. The service and dining room were great, but the food and prices were just okay.
I surveyed the menu and decided that I wanted to something easier to prepare, so I ordered the gyro salad. It was underwhelming. First, it was not served with complimentary pita bread. It's been years since I visited a Greek or mediterranean restaurant that did not serve complimentary pita bread. I was not in the mood to order some bread when I would probably only 1 or 2 of the pieces in the order of 4, so I stuck with the salad.
The salad itself had some crunchy veggies in it, but I was disappointed with the contrast between hot and cold. One of the things that makes a meat salad great is when the meat served on top is piping hot and it contrasts with cold dressing and veggies. This was not the case here. The gryo meat was the highlight of the salad - plenty of umami in there. Beyond that, the veggies were just food service quality. The worst part of the salad was the dressing. It didn't come with enough for my taste, so I ordered some extra dressing. When it came out, I tried a little bit and discovered that it was...olive oil. There might have been some other ingredients in the dressing, but I couldn't taste them. No herbs, no vinegar, nothing else. On top of that, they charged $1.00 extra for a 1/4 cup size container of extra dressing. I wasn't expecting that since it's not common practice at other restaurants I have visited.
Besides the food, everything else about my visit was good. The dining room is decorated nicely and is well lighted. My server took an interest in getting my order right and taking care of me. If I'm in the area again, it would be worth a return trip to try the lamb. They were unfortunately out of lamb when I visited.
