My husband and I love this place for the food alone. The garlic sauce is absolutely to die for! It's a traditional creamy Grecian garlic sauce, potato-based (though you cannot taste the potato) with lots of lemon. The inside of the restaurant is a little weird, and the service is a little...eh. We mostly do take-out now. The last two times I have called, though, they do not answer. Does anyone know if this restaurant is closed now?

Pros

+ FOOOOOOOOD, BYOB

Cons

- The ""past its prime"" feel of the physical restaurant (location, decor, wait staff, etc...)

The only good thing I can say about this restaurant is BYOB.
The food is just ok, nothing extraordinary. The waiter was very rude. Seemed bothered whenever we asked him for something.
The lady's bathroom was disgusting.
Don't waste your time. Just go to Ararat
