Service is quick, the food is a-plenty, and the prices are fair. Whoever said that their skillets aren't greasy was mistaken. I ordered a skillet with my eggs over-easy. It came with 5 (5!!!) eggs and a slice of cheese melted underneath. Don't be mistaken, it's not some fancy cheese, but processed, kraft singles-like slice of cheese. The coffee is good and the "Greek" toast =thick piece of white bread with sesame seeds.
Overall, this place is great if you're in the area. The portions are large, the prices are great, and the service is really friendly.
We were there around 5:30 on a Saturday evening. We were seated within 5-10 minutes and I couldn't help but notice how extremely loud it was. My friend ordered a pizza and I ordered a salad. Both were extremely average.
The food is average, the price is average, and the service is average.

My friend got a dipped butterscotch cone. She gobbled it up. She said the butterscotch is a little waxier than the kind at Dairy Queen and she liked it a lot more.
Like everyone said, it's really small there, so be prepared to stand in line. There is plenty of street parking and benches to sit. If you're ever in the area, definitely give this a try.

- the server asked us if we wanted coffee and when we said no he made a very sour face. No eye contact whatsoever
- we ordered drinks (bellini, screw driver, diet pepsi) and it took at least 10 minutes to get the drinks. When we ordered our food, the server took so fast, we were all convinced that we was high on something.
- it took another 20-25 minutes to get our food. Our server didn't approach our table once except to bring the drinks. Once again, no eye contact.
- When we finally got our check, it had an item that none of us ordered. To get the check fixed and to pay, it took another 10 minutes. Still no eye contact
The food was great, the screw driver was weak, and the Bellini had peach fuzz on the bottom that my friend didn't like. By the end of our meal we were all convinced that our server was under the influence (of something). Instead of the meal taking an hour, it took an hour and a half and it was because of all the wait and the absence of our server.
Husband and I both agreed that when we go back, if we get the same server we will ask for another one.

Overall, I had a great experience. We walked in around 11:45 Sunday morning and were immediately seated. Your party not complete,? No problem, they'll seat you anyways. I ordered a Wishbone Omelette and asked for green peppers. The server made a point of telling me that the green and red peppers are mixed together, fine with me. When the omelette arrived it had no peppers whatsoever. Not one! I didn't feel like making a stink and my omelette was still super yummy.
One thing that really left a bad taste in my mouth is the burnt coffee they serve. I will order it again just in case it was a fluke and report back.
When the check arrived, I was charged extra for "red pepper sauce". Unlike my usual self, I didn't raise a stink about that either and just paid the bill.
I would definitely come back, especially because there is no wait and street parking is plenty.
Husband and I go there for an early dinner, around 6 on a Friday night. We were seated, glasses were filled, bread and prepackaged butter was brought. "Fancy" restaurant with pre-packaged butter?!
Although we were the only ones in our server's section, she took her sweet time to ask us about appetizers and then we waited a super long time for the main course.
Appetizer - we ordered Insalate Paesana to split as an appetizer. We got a bowl of cut up cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and 4 olives drenched in oil. It was as if the salad was oil with vegetables instead of vice versa.
Main Course - Spagghetti Amatriciana is basically spagghetti with tomatoes. Although the menu mentions pancetta, I saw a tiny square or two. It was extremely bland as the dish lacked all the flavor.
Husband ordered the daily special which was ravioli with gorgonzola cheese sauce and sausage. The cheese tasted nothing like gorgonzola. It tasted like buttermilk, not a hint of gorgonzola. The ravioli were drenched in the sauce. The sausage? Oh, it was barely to be found. There some slices on top of the ravioli, but not worth mentioning. From what my husband could tell, the sausage was dry.
Overall, the restaurant is overpriced and the service is too slow.
The restaurant is very nice. It's a great place for a 1st date or to catch up with old friends. The menu is vast and has options for everyone. The service is excellent, but a little too quick. The manager came by to take our order and talked so quickly that I just nodded my head and left it to others at the table to decide.
The full bar and the cozy ambiance complemented our entire experience.
There's a ton of food and plenty to take home after your visit. Come with an empty stomach and some time to eat. Please don't compare this to Khyber Pass, the only thing they have in common is the cuisine, nothing else.
Adult movie ticket $8
Student ticket $6.50
The theater is bigger than it looks from the ouside. The picture and audio are fantastic and the chairs are leather, plus, and oh-so-comfortable..oh and the arm rests lift so you can cuddle with your bunny.
The movie choice is enough - you get to pick from 5 or so, but they also show old-er films throughout the week.
Concession stand is at 2 places, so you don't need to go to the front of the theater for pop or popcorn. The prices at the concession stand are average, not low, not super high.
Honestly, I would never come back. The food was fine, not amazing, fine. The drinks were very stiff, but not cheap, and the decor is something I"d expect to see from a retirement home in Florida. My husband even made a comment about how he expected to see the Golden Girls walk through the door any minute.
I guess there is nothing bad about this place, I was just hugely disappointed that it's penned as "Greek" and there's nothing Greek about it.
Date

2. My friend grabbed some sushi, looked at it, and stuck it back onto the conveyor belt. Big no-no. Although we had a few of the restaurant workers standing near us, no one said a thing. I wonder how many people done this same thing, maybe even worse (?).
3. They don't have unagi roll. wtf? They have eel, they have eel nigiri, but not unagi roll? If you order something that's not on the menu, be prepared to pay for rice. I ordered a salmon roll and it was a tiny piece of salmon with lots of rice.
4. Honestly, I wouldn't come back. The prices are fair, the service is quick, maybe a little too quick - in a 2 minute period, 4 or 5 people asked me if I wanted a refill. There are a ton of other sushi place I'd visit before coming back here.
