"Hmm. So Valentines Day was interesting. Went out with friends and decided to give Salt Stone a try because there were lots of available reservations and we were booking at the last minute. Walking in, the place looked cozy: dark wood, fireplace, cool chandelier. But it all went downhill from there. The hostess asked us if we would like some water, then never brought it. We waited for almost min before asking if we could get a server. Now keep in mind...we were fully enjoying each other’s company and were feeling generous and patient because it was Valentines Day and we expected a little craziness. Any other day we probably would have walked out at that point. When we asked for a server, the man at the table next to us stood up and said “good luck. I ordered min ago and I still haven’t gotten my food.” He left. Still we persisted. Our server was a nice girl and very apologetic about our wait...however after taking our drink order it took another min before we finally saw her again and got our drinks. Ordering food was another ordeal. One friend had her heart set on the Valentines special (cowboy steak) but they were out. She decided to have the ribeye. Also out. So we asked the server what she would recommend that they had. She said the prime rib dip. Great! We all ordered it. She came back a few minutes later with the news...yep...out. We switched to chicken and a panini. After finally placing our order, our hummus appetizer came really quickly. It was good. But we were starving so not super picky at that point. Our drinks ran dry and again we waited. And waited. Thankfully our friends continued to be delightful and our kids were at home, so we were happy to sit there...even though we were growing increasingly hungry. Long story short(I’m running out of words) our food finally came two hours after we arrived. Yay! They compensated us with free desserts and the food was all decent. But SHEESH!!! We won’t be back"

"Someone likened Fournos Theophilos to Eataly when describing it to me. Perhaps but on a much smaller scale. Fournos Theophilos is thoughtfully put together, with informal seating and excellent cooked food. My party of four adults and one child met for brunch there. The portions are well-priced. Everyone’s dish arrived perfectly salted, no need for any additional. I had a tomato soup with feta swirl in the middle. (I am sharing a picture here but forgot to take it before stirring the bowl. I also had a mac-n-cheese dish and it arrived with firm pasta. Very tasty. The rest of the adults ordered egg-based dishes and the child went for a cheese pie. We also had one dessert, a bougatsa, which was sweet and creamy and had firm phyllo. Five orders, beverages and coffees plus one dessert all came to a little under $100. Seating is comfortable and tables are well-spaced. You will not be sitting on top of one another. The bathrooms are utilitarian. There is a small Greek market in the center (hence the “Eataly” interpretation from my friend with some excellent selections. Spanakopita (spinach pie looks fresh (you can tell and there are jarred sweets and Greek beverages. I even purchased a tote bag to carry my goodies away. PS: How does Fournos Theophilos differ from GRK? They both offer “fast” Greek food. GRK specializes in grilled food, like souvlaki, and offers the occasional baked dish, like spanakopita. Fournos Theophilos is “home-cooked” and has the market."

"My friend and I went to visit MP Taverna last week and our experience was exceptional! From the moment you enter, and take in their tasteful and exquisite decor, you are put in the mood to stay a while and enjoy the atmosphere while dining. We started out with cocktails that were delicious with the perfect blend of flavors. Then, we had trouble deciding on an entree since everything sounded so wonderful, so we opted to start by sharing three appetizers. We figured we could make a decision about a main course later on. First, we had their soup of the day which was a tasty bisque with chunks of crabmeat; we were sharing so that was split for us and served with warm pita bread. Next came a wonderful white asparagus salad and baby back ribs. That appetizer was entree sized; the meat was perfectly seasoned, plump and extremely tender. By the time we had finished our appetizers, we were quite full so, we just ordered coffee. We were pleasantly surprised when two complimentary cannolis were brought out. The service was as exemplary as the food. Our waiter was very nice and knowledgeable about all the dishes. The dinner was well timed and he checked on us often to make sure we were pleased with everything. My friend and I had a lot to talk about and we sat at the table for quite some time. The check was not brought until we asked for it which we greatly appreciated. The manager came by along with the chef to make sure that everything was to our liking. Overall, being at MP Taverna was an absolutely wonderful experience and I am looking forward to visiting them again soon! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys great service and fine dining in beautiful surroundings. Well done, MP Taverna!!"
