Meh! Mediocre food and service. I won't be going back. Greek salad did not have traditional Greek salad ingredients, especially the dressing which was not Greek.

The fish sandwich was tasteless; the roll had no flavor and there was barely any tartar sauce on it. I asked for more tartar sauce and some lemon. Nobody came to my table to ask how the food was, so I had to wait a while before I got a waitress's attention. Very disappointing.

We were told to seat ourselves. Once seated, we were neglected and had to wait to get menus, while others arriving after us were waited on right away. Waitress passed by numerous times without noticing empty water glasses. Had to stop her each time we needed refills. On positive side, the clam chouder and garlic bread is hard to beat.

The restaurant is clean and the service friendly. My falafel was very tasty. My son ordered a hamburger that appeared a little well done to me, but he enjoyed it very much. The server did not ask him how he wanted it cooked, but my son did not mind well done. I requested the French fries to be well done and they were nicely browned. E restaurant was very busy and that is a good sign. One more server would have been nice as my server had a lot of tables to tend to. She was very pleasant. I really appreciated when the manager or perhaps owner walked around asking the customers how the food was.

From the time we entered the restaurant, we had to flag down a server to take our order. Then, we ordered a dinner salad and a bowl of clam chowder. The chowder was delicious.Then, after we ordered our pizza, it seemed to take forever. We asked about our pizza and then the server went and got it. It was delicious but just warm, not hot.It seemed like something was going on in terms of number of servers because the host and one of the waiters looked totally stressed out.Finally, when we were more than ready to leave, my husband had to ask for our check.

Being a local I always like to frequent local restaurants, I've known this restaurant and owner many yrs, LOVE the food and changes made, I also work at an inn and refer guests, HOWEVER, we went in looking at prices on their internet site and it showed them to be $2-$3 cheaper, living on a budget need to know that and guests disappointed to go and see that. We had to split/share our meal, but they still treated us with great service and smiles! Please update the online prices. Was also surprised to not see a LUNCH menu but an all day menu with high dinner prices...we are locals, any local day prices??? But withuot the $10 off coupon could not have afforded it...so I bought several of them! Loved it and will go again!
