    We had a few issues with the woman seating us. Don't get there early, even if it is 6 pm. Even if the place is only 5% full, they make you sit by the door until closer to your reservation time!~ The food was excellent! We had the Dover sole, lobster, shrimp gyro, and tuna and caviar special, which was also excellent. The sides included warm rice and spinach in a tomato-based broth and lemon potatoes. For dessert, the baklava was not eatable—it was stale and not sweet—but they took it off the bill. The lava cake was fabulous. I can't wait to go back and try something else. It's a beautiful place inside, and there is lots of parking.
