UNPOPULAR OPINION... I was not very impressed, if I'm being honest!! I feel badly not leaving an excellent review, but that's genuinely reflective of my experience. If anything, if I was just basing it on how I felt about my meal, it would be a 2 star. Anywho, we went here for a friend's birthday dinner.. I called 4 or 5 times, and left a couple voicemails (trying to make a reservation)... nobody ever called me back, but it sounds like their phone system was being weird. When we arrived and asked if we had a reservation, we explained the situation and they seated us quickly so I definitely appreciated that. The ambiance in the restaurant is cozy.
The food.... I was not impressed by the food, quite frankly. I am a vegetarian and usually I have quite a few options at a greek restaurant. That was not the case here, unfortuantely. I was really hoping for falafel.. maybe I'm wrong about that being greek, but I know I get it at just about every greek restaurant that I go to. Anywho, it was on their menu 3 years ago, but I guess they took it off. I ended up ordering 2 sides - the potatoes, which were dusted in feta cheese but not nearly enough, and quite literally buttered orzo. I asked the waiter which type of orzo he preferred and he recommended the buttered herb... which was fine, but considering it was literally just cooked orzo drenched in butter with a sprinkle of herbs, it had no business costing $10. And at least MY portion sizes (both sides) were EXTREMELY small, and very overpriced. Both sides were extremely small, at $10 each. I could expect to pay $5 and that would make sense given the complexity and the portion size. Please be aware that even their hummus is $17.
I am comparing it to Seattle food, so maybe it just isn't a fair comparison. My friends who are local have been telling me about this restaurant since I moved! I am glad that I got to try it, but I wouldn't go again on my own (only if a friend wanted to celebrate there or something). For my diet, the options are too limited and the options that are available are way overpriced.
