As a person who is Greek, I enjoy eating authentic Greek food from time to time.
My family has been going to the Greek Corner in Cambridge MA for many years for family get togethers and birthday parties, etc. My wife and I decided to go out to the Greek Corner for lunch...boy was that a mistake!
Here is a list of issues that I had:
1. The service WAS HORRIBLE!
The waitress that served us took about 10 minutes to take our order (we went at 1:30 in the afternoon and we were the ONLY people eating a later lunch!).
2. Horrible Food:
After she took our order the pita that came with our sampler was not Greek pita but Syrian pita and the grape leaves, were not home cooked and clearly came out of a can. I got a Greek salad and asked for no onions and what I got was a salad with onions. Then salad came back and it was clear that they picked it out (I could have used my clean hands to pick it myself, normally good resturants will remake a dish if it was done wrong).
3. Again bad Service:
We then waited to get a drink refill (our waitress never came back!) and I had to go up to the front counter and ask for a refill. Meanwhile our waitress never returned to apologize or ask us if we wanted another drink, coffee or desert. We then waited again to get our check and then finally walked up to the front to pay. Our waitress was sitting at the front talking on the phone and was ""too busy"" to be bothered to do her job!
Yes, I did not leave a tip, tips are earned, not given out to people who are not nice and do not provide good service.
Anyone who wants authentic Greek food cooked BY GREEKS, then take a small drive down to Norwood MA and try the Feisty Greek, if they were in Cambridge they could give the Greek Corner a run for their money!
