OKay. Still looking for a good falafel in St Pete's. Got one to go here about a week ago.. Wasn't bad, wasn't great. Cost $7 so I was hoping so for something more.. Not bad, but like I said, still looking for that falafel.
Talk about a step down!
The ambiance of their old split-level wood-paneled dining room has been dashed to bits in favor of a generic boxcar-shaped downtown location, and they've lost their ability to seat groups any larger than four. The friendly old Greek fellow who exchanged amiable flirtations with my girlfriend has been replaced by twenty-something girls in tight jeans and uggs (attractive, but less prone to banter). Chicken Souvlaki was dry, dry, dry, as was a gyro platter. Tzatziki is still piquant and the Retsina is still a wonderfully acquired taste (somewhere between chardonnay and a pine tree).
They still shout 'Oopah' when they light the brandy-soaked cheese on fire, and the pricing is still somewhat reasonable.
Looks like I'll have to find a new Greek joint in town.
YUM.
Just like the one across town. Good greek salads. They have a great lunch special, about 8 bucks for salad and sandwhich. This will not blow your socks off but if you are looking for good greek food in town, this is a local favorite. For some reason, my wife likes their coffee too. When you are feeling decadent, try the flaming cheese appetizer. Yummy.
