Well, maybe they're new.
Not a pleasant surprise, by the way. An old fave,, hey, post-covid (1st wave) they're open, yay! Facebook says so, 3-9!
Uh, yeah. They're open.
Same menu covers. Menu by someone unfamiliar with how to structure a menu in order to be understood by people who spend a LOT of time in restaurants. Bad Word document with an unnecessary colour printer. Explanations for the obvious, no explanations for the obscure. Very odd.

What else?
Ooh, look, it's ALL greek. Uh.. okay? Weird, but sure. I like greek. I WANTED the Yorkshire puddings and I thought I was in a pub.. but sure.
Started with a fan fave: saganaki. Tip to the chef: if you don't heat it enough, it doesn't melt from lighting it on fire. Very crispy, not too salty. Also not melty. Hmm.. -1
$6 garlic shrimp with pitas! Whoo... shrimps are big, garlic is indiscernible, pitas is whole wheat. Surprise! Oh, and that reminds me: saganaki served without pita. Whole wheat pita is...okay. not great. A bit surprising. -1
Uh... g-pita burger what? Beef patties (with a LOT of something unidentifiable and green in them, spinach maybe? No idea.) With a very scant sprinkling of feta. One patty is fine, sort of. Not juicy and delicious or anything but fine. They're 3" across more or less...two of them on a sliced apart pita (not whole wheat, now I am just confused) the other patty is a rock. Inedible, can't cut it with a serrated steak knife. Replaced with (clearly, I have had many!) a premade all-beef patty... also fine, but really oily. Edible. Not great. -1
Spinach pie (on a menu made by people who think they know that no one will know what spanakopita is (but will know saganaki?) Um... yeah.
Not bad. Again: none if this was bad. It just also wasn't very good.
Not enough phyllo, nowhere near enough butter to make it... well... put it this way: it was soft. A few crispy crumbs, but this was like when you take the leftovers home and put them into a Tupperware and then tomorrow... maybe the day after, you take them to lunch and microwave them. Soft. Not strongly flavoured. Not buttery. Should not have put them in the fridge. No cheese flavour at all. -1
I have had better greek food at Earl's. And the house wine is not only $9 a glass, it is SWEET wine. That needed a warning sign.
Ooh, nice view. (Boston / Philadelphia stanley cup final rerun from maybe 1980? on tv...why?)
Edited to add: tzatziki. Well, that is the name on the menu. Is it, though? I honestly have no idea what it was. I have never had bouncy textured tzatziki that kind of pulls into peaks when you take some out or dip something in it. Kind of flavourless, if there was cucumber, dill, onion or yogurt in it, it's news to me. read more
