Law & Your Lunch Order: Eros Cafe

Today is a new day! We ordered from a new restaurant that was scouted out by our lovely K-Kat! Its been a super exciting day between the new restaurant and the season premier of Lost, I honestly don't know how to contain myself! Well, actually, I have settled down a little since our lunch has arrived...it turns out I got a little too AHH! Lost! I can't focus on this entry...lets start with the fact that it was super messy! I have come to the conclusion that I do not like messy food. The container was such a mess, I didn't know what to do with it. Honestly! I had to have K-Kat teach me how to eat it. I think I am complaining too much, the food was good, I enjoyed it...much better than Energy Kitchen yesterday.


Frank is upset with his salad, he regretfully ordered it chopped. Through this action, his salad has turned into a nasty salsa.


Crista's sandwich was too sloppy also.


Ok ok, I am already thinking about the Papa Johns pizza I am going to order for Lost tonight...if I am lucky, they will still be giving out the cute little cake snacks for free! If only we could time travel, like in Lost, and re-order our lunches today, we would probably much happier. But alas, I have yet to figure out the numbers of such travel, so we will just have to think about our orders a little bit more next time.


Alright party people, this is Manny typing. Today, from Eros, I ordered "The Aphrodite" from the Greek Gods section of the menu (love it). It is described as "Chicken Souvlaki with plum tomato sices, feta cheese, cucumbers, artichoke hearts and onions." It was supposed to come with Tzatziki, French Fries/Rice & Pita.
Now, let's take attendance: Chicken Souvlaki? Absent. Instead it was grilled chicken breast. NOT the same.
Plum tomatoes: negative, instead 'regular' tomato slices (kinda out of season, so I'll allow it) The rest: present. I replaced the fries/rice with salad so therefore what I got was a Greek salad with chicken on top, which is basically what I get every day. I was thinking this would be a sexy alternative to the "yooj"* but instead it was a Greek salad without peppers and with very flavorful artichokes. It loses points because it didn't provide the emotional and psychological charge I was expecting but it was a decent tasting salad and the tzatziki was delicious.
All in all though, the first impression I've gotten from Eros is not a strong one, but rather a middling one that when combined with other mildly dissatisfacotry reviews from my comrades, makes me think twice about reordering from there. Or at least from trying to convince the lo.cations gang from ordering there. Thanks for reading, hopefully I'll have something more inspired to write about soon. Love and cupcakes.
* please take it up with Crista
