    This is another Greek owned American restaurant. There wasn't an extensive menu so I had a tossed salad for a starter. Other than having too much oil and vinegar dressing it was okay. For my main course I ordered Moussaka assuming they would have a good version of this traditional Greek staple. Unfortunately it was soupy with bits of eggplant not the regular fried or baked medallions. I ate about 1/3 of the serving and took the rest home to put in my trash.

    This is the second time I have visited this restroom . The food and drinks were delicious. Heads up the Tuna Reuben is made with real tuna. I was expecting the typical tuna mixture you would use for a tuna sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised to see they used tuna steaks.
