We chose Apres Diem for a late night birthday dinner, a party of 5, when we arrived we had to wait a few minutes for a table, which was not a problem, so two of us went to the bar to have a quick shot and a drink. $27 for 2 cocktails and 2 shots!!!!!! What a rip off.
When we were sat, it took the server about 10 minutes to even approach our table, while many staff members were standing around by the window and counter just hanging out, it was not that busy in there.
The server had zero personality, barely said hello, took our appetizer order and food order at the same time.
The apps came out fairly quickly, and not 5 minutes later, so did our meals.....
The table was already small enough for 5 people, and thankfully the hostess who brought us our food, helped take plates and things away to make room for everything.
Our server approached, my boyfriend ordered a beer and we were almost finished eating by the time it came, about 15 minutes.
The food was just alright, my gyro was missing the one thing that gyros are known for, the tzatki sauce. I was unable to ask for any since our server was nowhere to be found and we were essentially ignored by the rest of the staff, even the ones I made eye contact with.
The salads ordered at the table were nothing special, something you could get in any restaurant. The ""Greek Islands"" salad that was ordered had few olives and hardly any feta on it.
The baba ganouj, which I love anywhere else, tasted bland and boring. The calamari was pretty basic also. Not much flavor.
The only true highlight was the pate, it was wonderful, but since it is pre-made it seems like the late night kitchen staff couldn't really disappoint on it.
We did have a good time, it was hot in the restaurant, but the DJ was good and we were in good company. Just disappointed with the service and the food was just alright..... I might go back, I might not. I definitely won't recommend it to friends......
