Eros Cafe

Food wasn't bad and the service was ok. The Greek fries (skinny fries with lemon and oregano) was good, but they get soggy if you wait too long to eat them. My problem was with their promotion. They have coupons on their website that they do not accept unless you print them out. Who does that anymore?? And why have the option to mention the coupon if placing an order for delivery and have a code for scanning (I didn't scan it, but I assume it's for saving the coupon on your smartphone), but still require a printed version when dining in?? That doesn't make logical sense at all! The illogicality of it peeved me and is what caused me to knock down the rating by 1star by my standard, and 2 stars by my friend's.

The old Eros Cafe, before the fire, in my opinion was much better. The area for smoking hookah use to be covered, well heated, and in the back. Now it's in the front, and no covered. Not enough heat outside to actually keep you warm. The staff was friendly and more attentive in the old Eros and the food was also very good. Coming here now was a disappointment. I asked for a raspberry smoothie, they didn't have it. I asked for a cappuccino one, they didn't have it either. Settled for mango, and that was the last time I saw the waiter. I was in there for 40 minutes and I had to get up and ask for the check myself because no one came to check on my table that entire time I was there. Place was dead, empty, and very small. Staff was more interested in talking to each other than attending customers. Couldn't smoke hookah because it was too cold, and I didn't know that the smoking location is in the front with no covered heating. Very disappointed in the new Eros.

More like 4.5 stars for After Athens, which is what the restaurant part is called. Get some hookah outdoors during spring, summer, or fall. Pairs well with greek coffee or chai tee, and an extensive Greek menu. Transports me back to Europe each time we visit because of the open-air feel, and tasty food. I usually order a gyro, with Greek fries (notice a trend here? :) or hummus with pita breads.

Drawbacks: As in in Europe, everyone smokes... heavily. While outdoors are nice, the smoking can be a bit much, and I was often bombarded by plane noise because of it's location.

Place is amazing. The music is amazing. The kitchen is open late, which is perfect for a nite owl like myself... My go to spot. Has a trendy cool chic vibe with great food, coffee, etc.

Baked brie cheese appetizer and the Greek wrap is my go to meal there. Also, a unique unsweetened peach iced tea is my drink of choice.
