Last night, we went out for dinner with Lia and Adam (also in Mike's class). They have to write a restaurant review as a homework assignment. We went to
Mezes in the heart of Greektown.
The term "Mezes" means appetizers, so we ordered a bunch to share. Starting with the dips (Tzatziki, Taramosalata (red caviar & potatoes), Homous, and Melitzanosalata (eggplant)) and pita.
And the assorted pites - one Spanakopita (spinach & cheese), one Tirokafteropita (feta cheese, hot peppers & yogurt) and one Pantzaropita (beets, leeks and Skordalia). The last one with the beets was the best!
My main course was the lamb chops. They were cooked just right (medium rare). It was a little bit fatty and probably should have been trimmed a bit.
Mike's quail unfortunately was overcooked. First, the waiter forgot to place the order for the quail and then there was a mad scramble to get it out. Yes, the restaurant was very busy last night.
And for dessert it was chocolate baklava. Unfortunately the chocolate did not come through as it was overwhelmed by the cinnamon & nutmeg.
Overall, the food was pretty good. The service could have been better. I would go back again.
