"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."

"We decided to share several appetizers, and each one was wonderful. We started with Tirokafteri ($8), a spicy feta dip that was absolutely delicious. It was creamy with just the right amount of heat. We wished it had come with pita instead of some rather ordinary bread, but the dip itself was fantastic. Next up was the Feta Psiti ($14), a filo pastry stuffed with feta, topped with sesame seeds and a drizzle of honey. It was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted—so scrumptious that I can't wait to order it again, and next time I won’t be sharing! The Gigantes ($13) featured large lima beans baked with tomatoes and garlic, resulting in a creamy and flavorful dish. The Kolokithakia ($19), a simple yet striking dish of fried zucchini, was perfectly breaded and fried to a crisp. Light and incredibly tasty, it came with Tzatziki and earned its reputation as one of their best-selling dishes. To complete our meal, we shared a Horiatiki salad ($16), which was also delightful, with capers adding a nice touch. The service was friendly and attentive, with great recommendations throughout our meal. I can’t wait to return to what has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in town. The prices are reasonable considering the quality of the food, and they offer an extensive wine list alongside a menu that caters to even the pickiest eaters. Just be aware that the inside can get a bit crowded when busy, so making a reservation is the best way to enjoy your visit."
