Aristo’s, a very casual place in a new shopping center, serves a variety of gyros and salads that are fresh but lacking in authentic Greek flavors.
Hummus came with piping hot pita and a couple of Greek olives – good – but was missing some much needed garlic. The wait staff tried to push cheese-covered pita with this appetizer. Huh? Gyros dressed in mayonnaise, not the typical sour cream and cucumber seem to be crafted for a Mississippian palate, not for lovers of Greek food. Maybe Aristo’s knows their market.
A word on the wait staff: far too chirpy for me – all of them. It’s uncomfortably condescending.
Aristo’s, not part of a chain, may be a welcome alternative to hamburgers, pizza and chicken sandwiches that seem to dominate the menus at The Promenade. If you’re looking for something healthy to eat, it’s here. And it’s inexpensive; the food is just not authentic. Beer served © 2010 All rights reserved.
