"Our experience at Christos tonight was absolutely horrible. When we arrived the manager asked us to wait because they were out of menus. An elderly couple were behind us and I overheard the man say he needed to sit down so I asked the hostess if we could all be seated without menus and was told we needed to wait for the manager. Once we were seated, the waitress came and asked me and my partner for our drink order and then turned and left. When she came back I asked her to take our friend’s drink order and she told our friend in a nasty tone that she had asked her if she wanted a drink and she had said no. My friend told her she didn’t ask her and I confirmed that. The waitress then argued with both of us about it so I asked my partner if we should just leave because it was quite uncomfortable. The waitress then leaned on the empty chair and yelled, “Do you want to order? Do you want to order?” Over and over and over. We all just looked at her and our friend told her to leave. Our friend then went outside and I requested the manager. The waitress went and talked to the manager and he proceeded to do everything but come talk to us. My partner went outside and I went up to the desk to wait. When the manager did come talk to me I told him what happened and he said that we were impatient from the moment we got there because we told his trainee to seat us without menus. I told him we were not in a hurry and I ASKED for all of us to be seated because of what the elderly man behind us had said. I also told him I only asked for our friend’s drink order to be taken-we weren’t even ready to order food. Our friend had never had Greek food so we were still explaining all the items on the menu. The manager said he and the owner would talk with the waitress and I thanked him for that but also let him know I would be posting this review. There’s more that transpired but not enough space here to add it. We didn’t eat but I rated the food high because it’s always been good."

"I recently visited a bakery that was much more inviting. This place had far too many children sitting at the counter, making it difficult for the adults who were trying to enjoy drinks and chat. While I was trying to relax, I was surrounded by a loud group of kids who were knocking things over and screaming. The service left something to be desired, and the food was just average. On a positive note, the drinks were delicious, although my companion, who knows a lot about beer, was disappointed that his beer was warm. Overall, we could have had a better experience here."

"Another great find thanks to Yelp! Lito's is an unassuming family run restaurant located in the Shoppes at Beacon Light Publix strip mall right off US1 just north of Copans. The restaurant is kept very clean, it has several booths and a small bar area with several TV's at the bar and through out the restaurant. We sat at the bar, I took a peak in the kitchen and it was immaculate! Service is extremely friendly and attentive, they appear to be having a great time and the family/employees get along great. I have to say I was surprised by the quality of the food, everything was executed perfectly and full of flavor. The chicken wings were large, meaty and cooked just right not overly dry or overcooked in the inside, they were moist and just right. The prime rib sub was amazing! Cooked blackened medium rare as requested, the seasoning wasn't overpowering, the steak was served as an entire large cut, not shaved or chopped, full of flavor and served in a thin bread sub, I opted for the steamed broccoli and zucchini squash instead of the fries, they were fresh not frozen and perfectly cooked. I also love that they offer a variety of daily specials and soups, I don't care for seafood soups so I was thrilled to see a steak soup featured as the soup of the day. Also on special was the pot roast, I was it coming out of the kitchen and it looked amazing, I need to go back to try it. Lito also offers to cook your own fresh fish, I know we will definitely return with our fresh catch to take advantage of this service!"

"Ordered twice, first order was fast, under 30 minutes. Second order took over 2 hours. When I called, they said their computers crashed and they lost my order. They comped my order and said my next order will be free also. Good customer service and the pizza is good. I recommend the stromboli though"

"A hidden gem, we stopped for lunch in a Wednesday and it was pretty busy. We got seated at an outside table where there was a nice view of the intercoastal and a pleasant breeze. Our server, Veronica, recommended the scooby treats and we ordered a bottle of albarino off their discounted wine list. The wine was excellent and went well with the delicious crab claws, they were so good my wife and I only got to eat one or two because my son devoured them while the other child gobbled up all the bread after dipping it in the crab butter. My wife and I both got the soft shell crab sandwich and we were delighted with how crunchy the batter was while the interior was soft and luscious. Probably the best soft shell crab I've had in many years! The kids shared the Coconut shrimp plate which was 7 extra large shrimp and we got 2 Mac and cheeses as the sides. The shrimp were very tasty, a nice and crunchy coconut batter covered the juicy shrimp magnifying the natural sweetness of the shrimp. Overall the food was really good, pleasantly surprised to find such good seafood a stone's throw away from all the tourist traps. And our server was what put it over the top. She was very attentive and full good recommendations, she also let us know they do tarpon feedings (unfortunately the fish weren't biting today but the kids did try). Truly a great experience, definitely worth a visit!"

"What a terrible experience on Valentine’s Day. We walked in at 12:30 and the owner was walking around with a paint brush and open can of paint. The waiter spilled water and soaked a portion of our table. He did move us, but rather put a napkin over the wet area. We ordered wine and he could not understand what we wanted, had to point to the wine on the menu. The food was just OK. It’s a shame this was reliable good restaurant. Not going back."

"This cute restaurant is pretty decent. I really liked the atmosphere, especially being located right next to the private airport. Unfortunately, I got a migraine after eating, but I think it's just because my body is sensitive to non-GMO foods. Despite that, I still recommend this place. The food was good, even though I had a migraine!"

"My friend and I came to Galena for a little day getaway. Fried Green Tomatoes was a recommendation to us and the reviews looked good so we decided to come. We were so excited to have a nice dinner. I love the look of the inside. You could instantly tell the manager was great at his job. Sadly he is one of the only reasons there is a star. We ordered bruschetta for an appetizer and I thought it was delicious. Main course was lobster ravioli and 2 seared scallops. I got the lobster ravioli and it was fine- wasn’t wow. I bit into a scallop and instantly spit it out. It tasted and smelled old- I couldn’t identify what the smell was besides cleaning product or a hair bleach, but then I realized it is an ammonia scent to it. Regardless if it was an off day, I feel like the chef should have noticed this and been a little more careful. I was just super disappointed. The scallops were taken off the bill but I’m still upset I spent $50 for a meal not that great. I don’t mean to be harsh when it comes to this review, but I’m just being honest. I also deducted a star because as a mother I feel all restaurants should have changing table this one did not. It should be mandatory for any family friendly restaurant to have a changing table- there’s enough room for one. I do this to every restaurant without a changing table. I wouldn’t go back:"

"Had a great experience making reservation on Open Table for Oceania Restaurant in Clayton, MO and being seated where we preferred. Our waiter, Pierre, was charming and very helpful explaining items on the menu. Pierre and other staff checked on us regularly and served food in timely fashion. Food was delish, beautifully plated and ample servings. We were allowed to extend our conversation beyond eating with no interference. Had a very enjoyable experience all around. Will return."

"We had the crawdad stuffed beignets, the gumbo, Blackened Catfish Napoleon smothered with shrimp etouffee and the Gulf Fish. It was the best meal we had during the 4 days we were here and we ate at some really great places. The service was a bit slow. Other servers helped us more than our own server did but maybe she was new. This will definitely be on our list for a return visit next time we're in town."

"Server did not have her head in the game' brought one of us some other table's drink, and acted like it was our fault, not apologetic at all. And took her sweet time correcting it with the right one. She just seemed like she had been given more tables than she could handle. A different server brought the food, which was all good. This place is conveniently located, although now the infamous sinkhole that ate the bus makes it very hard to park at the Westin anymore, so parking is a problem."

"The food was great and reasonably priced. Our server, Emily, was upbeat and gave us the right amount of attention. My wife had the Short Ribs which were marvelous and I had a piece of Grouper that was cooked to perfection with a tasty but not overwhelming sauce. We started with a tasty Trout Dip and finished sharing a delicious hunk of Key Lime Pie. My only suggestion is to upscale the crackers that are served with the Dip from Saltines"

"make sure they order drinks from the bar that they don't get sugar, water and ice. had the worst simple cocktails of our life (ginn and tonikum and a mosque maultier) and they were tasteless watered down with really bad ingredients that just tasted like sugar and nothing else. and be careful when you ask for a mosque maultier, they give you this drink. that is very similar, but from the menu and costs it over $14. They make their mosque mault with ginger-ale and it is not worth $14. it is not even worth the water they put in the drink. you're better on the wine menu. it was a very busy night and we did not try to cheat, but when the bill came, I was a little shocked. fortunately, a manager helped us, but it was at the end of the night when we left. it is not the quality experience that I associate with this place. also their vegan and vegetarian menu is extremely boring, although the items on them are very good. it has the same three vegan items for over 10 years. I feel like there might be a little more fantasy in this department, especially because the three elements are almost exactly the same, except the order in which they are presented."

"We are steady customers at Christos Minnetonka. It is the top restaurant we go to in the Twin Cities. We eat out about three times per week. Prices are very reasonable - I don't remember the last time they adjusted prices. Gus brings the receipes from his mother, and they are the best"

"Unfortunately, we were disappointed with our recent dining experience. The appetizer was delicious, but the expensive bread basket was only okay. The corn muffins were burnt and the biscuits were dry. The mac and cheese was overly oily, causing stomach discomfort for my daughter. The Jambalaya was also overwhelmed by chili oil, affecting the flavor. Thankfully, the fried chicken was excellent and saved the meal. We have always enjoyed dining at Bubba in the past, so we hope this was just an off night. However, we will likely wait before returning, as Des Moines offers many other great dining options without such excessive use of oil."

"After deciding street parking wasn’t the best option we put our names on the list and waited about 20 minutes to be sat. Our server had amazing energy, she let us know she was new but it honestly wouldn’t have crossed my mind the way she answered our questions and was sure about my allergy restrictions! I ended up ordering the steak salad, amazing! It wasn’t plated well and initially that put me off but after first bite I was blown away. The steak was tender and well marinated and the salad greens were all fresh and the dressing wasn’t overdone. I also ordered my signature green tea matcha latte, I did not love this one. The flavor was very earthy but not in the good way. We also tried the cinnamon pancakes! I am generally not a pancake person but these were next level, between the presentation and the actual flavors it caught me off guard. The Italian omelette was very flavorful and better than anticipated. I believe them when they say farm to table ingredients. Even the orange juice we ordered tasted fresh squeezed (read sour with pulp lol). Overall good experience and would recommend anyone in the area to have atleast one meal here!"

"quality food and beverage is a surprise of the minute they are greeted when they enter. it has an unpretentious domestic atmosphere together with an unexpected warmth. the biggest surprise is however eating and its taste. the taste of home cooked French can transport their spirit to much more expensive restaurant. we had dinner on the price fixed menu that started with a more than plentiful and very fresh sideboard of appetizers, including filled grape leaves, filled paprika, berries, cheese and tomaten. we then moved to a lamb frame for me and fish cake for my wife. both dishes were tender and flavored according to our taste. our meal ended with cappuccino and chocolate espresso and a chocolate amore. all for two under $75.00 it's great."
