Really enjoyed the roast lamb though, flavorful and smells great. Sides were good too
Service is average, unattentive but friendly

Went to Kisamos earlier tonight with 3 other people. We went straight for entrees consisting of lamb youvetsi, chicken souvlaki, calamari dinner and the meatball dinner (I forget the name.)
We all went in with expectations given the hype that surrounds it. Unfortunately, it did not deliver. Nothing stood out. We applaud them for the generous portions and the "home style" cooking but noticed a few flaws.
The Greek salad that comes with the youvetsi - the size of the vegetables were huge. Thick and large slices of tomato and cucumber - what? Ok. I can cut these up myself but please take care of what you serve your customers. I hate having to shovel food through my mouth. Nothing particularly special about it. Boring olive oil and spices used and feta cheese just dumped all over it.
The youvetsi - fuck. They sprinkled Kraft parmesan cheese? What the fuck is this? I get that this is a staple Greek dish but please don't take a dump on something you can be proud of. The lamb was nothing particularly special and tasted like something out of the freezer. I can't say I enjoyed this dish but if you are a meat eater, hey, this might be your dish. Not for me.
Food - I'm on the fence for this one. I can appreciate a home cooked meal but nothing stands out. Portions were very generous and the price reasonable. I was really hoping for a big "wow" factor and I love Mediterranean food. I'll give this a conservative 6/10. Don't listen to the 10/10 Best Greek Food Ever bullshit.
Service - Yeah. Unattentive but friendly. A meager 6/10. I recommend reservations on the weekends otherwise, be prepared to wait in line for what I consider run of the mill Greek cuisine. (Think Stephos.)
Value - As I said, generous portions of food for the price you pay. Stephos can suck a dick. 8/10.
