Our high hopes for this new Greek Restaurant in our neighborhood, were dashed. Very disappointing. We arrived early on a Friday night (6:15pm). Despite an empty restaurant, owner was pretentious about it being a busy night (tho she did have a party of 15 that came 45 mins. later), still it was obvious she had only a few other reservations, and many walk-ins came after us and got same "attitude". Next, they were OUT OF their signature dish – Braised Lamb. How can a Greek Restaurant not have Braised Lamb (esp. a "signature dish")? As for alt. of ordering Lamb Chops -- way overpriced at $28 (table next to us ordered it later, which we saw were thinly sliced, and appeared overcooked). Next, Sagnaki is not flamed at table (they claim to flame in kitchen - dubious as no taste of brandy) and no fun. Our Entrée of Roasted Greek Chicken was very salty and no “greek” seasoning could be tasted; and our 2nd enree described as ground beef and lamb, were like 3 small hamburgers, and were grossly undercooked (even after we complained and it was brought back to kitchen for re-cooking, it was still dangerously raw in the middle). Egg Lemon Soup side was bland, with no lemon taste. Veggie side was june peas and tasted ‘canned’. What happened to Okra or Eggplant as a Greek side (not even on menu). Finally, despite being the earliest customers to arrive and place our order, our main dishes did not arrive at our Table until 7:45 -- 1 1/2 hours after we ordered! NOT RECOMMENDED.
Pros: Local Ravenswood Locale for Greek Restaurant; and BYO.
Cons: Food was NOT satisfactory; and, Kitchen was outrageously slow -- 1 1/2 hr wait to eat.
