Need to accomodate

by LOLAN at Citysearch

Although their manu is diverse and affordable, it isn't always accomodating to clients who because of health or nutrition reasons need to substitute certain items. A flat out rude "NO SUBSTITUTIONS" was said to me when I called to place a Feta Cheeseburger order and asked to substitute the fries for a small side salad. I figured, since I was limiting my carb intake and I felt terrible having to toss those fries out, why not simply ask to have a salad served with my burger instead of the fries!!!! And when I dined in and asked to have the Large Gyro salad and asked them to add Feta cheese, well, let me just say, I wanted to crawl under the table!!! What happened to "the customer is always right!!!!!"???????

Great food, great prices.

One of my friends told me about this place, so I decided to give it a try with my fiance. We both loved it. Friendly service, the food was delicious, and the prices where really reasonable for the quality of the food. Its right in the heart of Lincoln Park, which is a huge plus to us. The steak that I had was mouth watering. I can't get that sauce out of my mind. Its some type of olive oil, vinegar sauce that was to die for. My fiance ordered a hambuger, which seemed like it was a half pound serving(my fiance couldn't finish it as it was too large). She sayed it was one of the best hamburgers she has had in the city. I highly recommend this place.

• Pros: Great food, friendly service, nice area

Great food at a ridiculously good price

by james1970 at Citysearch

Ok, I love this place. It's nothing pretentious. It doesn't try to be anything it's not. It's simply a casual restaurant that serves great food. Was there with friends earlier this week. The smell walking in the door lets you know your in for a treat.

I had the chicken kalamata(basically Greek roasted chicken) and it was delicious. It comes with french fries, made even tastier by the fact that the juice from the chicken adds more flavor to the fries!

Also, I would highly recommend the traditional Greek soup. I'm not even trying to pronounce or spell it. It isn't served all year round, only in fall and winter.

If you are in the neighborhood, give this place a shot. You won't be disappointed.

OK Food / Rude managment

by chef_review at Citysearch

I have to say that for a limited menu, their entrees are good. However, they are missing some key Greek menu items?.can someone say Oompa?that?s right no saganaki here.

As far as service is concerned, I thought the hostess (which how she was acting) must have been an owner was a complete B****. She has obviously developed that attitude because her restaurant fills up every weekend just ?cause her great location. I saw her lecturing patrons for various reasons throughout the night about waiting for a tables, cell phones, to general etiquette. If you go there, check out the hostess, she is an older lady that is just plain rude. In fact, while eating, she takes the place of entertainment, a needed distraction from the actually interior atmosphere. Anyway, if you want decent food, but to dine in a place that wants you to feel lucky to be there, try this hole connected to Glascott's Bar.
