output: this is a pretty cool store. lots of junk, and when i say lots, i mean tons. if you like digging for treasures, this is the place for you. i found a few exciting things. i noticed a few reviewers didn't like the owner. i found her to be very charming. she probably just has a low tolerance for stupid questions, something i can relate to. i bought a ceramic snail and a real javelina skull with flowers painted on it. a little overpriced, but i'll go back.

output: This was a big disappointment. Of course we had heard and read about all the hoopla and fan-fare. Finally, got to try it. While things started well enough with the two starters we ordered, the mains were big disappointments, Style over substance, both figuratively (it looked better than it tasted) and literally (there were only *3* scallops for a $29 plate... that's almost $10/scallop!). Even more disconcerting, as there is an open kitchen, we had observed our scallops-order sitting for abut 7-8 minutes while they caught up with our steak order. When they delivered it, the scallops were cold. We told the waitress. The waitress said, "Let me take care of this - they will cook you a new one." We saw her tell the chef, and he looked angry. Then, as we observed, the chef only warmed up the two scallops in an oven and then slapped it back on the plate! That's not re-cooking, that's re-heating--Applebee's style! Not what you would expect from a restaurant that is this hyped... the pretentiousness, observed when you watch the kitchen, unfortunately shows up in ugly ways on the plate.

It's been about two years since we went to MBFG in Old Town. After we were seated and already ordered the Saganaki, I realized why we hadn't been in such a long time . . . the place is a d-u-m-p! The only atmosphere that reminds me that we're in a Greek restaurant is the startling cry of "Opa!" when the flaming whatevers are brought out from the kitchen. Once I got past that, I was able to concentrate on the actual food and drink. Apparently, they are changing the menu and they were out of quite a few of the better known, middle-of-the-road type wines and had only Greek varieties available. Greek wine? Would it taste like ouzo? The water, by the way, does not taste filtered, even with a lemon wedge, it tasted industrial strength. Saganaki, according to my friend and my husband, was divine. The combination platter was huge, enough for three people with dolmades, spanikopita, koftes, tzaziki, and hummus. MBFG is one of the few restaurants in the area that put lamb in the dolmades. Very delicious! The spanikopita was light, fluffy and perfectly seasoned. The koftes was also very flavorful. I am not a fan of their hummus (too sour), nor their tzaziki (too runny). Their pita was on the hard side and a little too greasy for my taste. Hubby had the pastitsia which he enjoyed . . . a nice hint of nutmeg sealed the deal. My girlfriend had the Greek salad . . . a big disappointment. It had all the right veggies, but the dressing tasted like Caesar . . . a major faux pas for my girlfriend who is the Greek food diva! I have been to the Paradise Valley location and the atmosphere is much more spirited and well, it just looks brighter. The Old Town location is like eating in a cave. If you can get past that, you can have an enjoyable meal. I can't speak to the service since it was a very quiet Sunday night and our server was quite attentive . . .
