We went to the Thursday Greek night at the end of July and were greeted by the owner. He offered us a table up front (immediate seating) where it was a little quieter, or we could wait a few minutes and he would get one ready in all the action. Since we made reservations and were quite hungry, we took the immediate seating. As a side note, if you come in for Greek night, the atmosphere REALLY steps up - don't expect it to be quiet!! *Make sure you make reservations for Greek night as it is always a full house.
Greek night involves a belly dancer, plate smashing and dancing. While the dancer moves throughout the restaurant, unless you are in the middle of the action, taking part in the other two seems more difficult. We did notice that during the program, the service slowed considerably, both kitchen and bar wise. The bartender that evening was slow and seemed more concerned with putting on a show than taking care of the bar. At one point we waited close to ten minutes for our drinks.
Now the reason we rate the restaurant the way we do - the food. Consistently excellent. For our appetizers, we ordered saganaki and prawns ouzaki. Because our table was quite small, our waitress did stagger them being brought out (plus she had to flambe both of them at the table), which I thought was a really good point of service. For dinner, we had the donair and the chicken souvlaki. While I was feeling quite full from the appetizers, my husband thinks it is one of the best donairs he has ever had. With the beef and lamb mixed together, he thought there was excellent flavor. Capping the night off with ouzo is the only way to go!
