My husband and I went to Grub Med for the first time. First of all, the restaurant is in a strip mall so it doesn't have much curb appeal. Upon entering though there is much more ambiance (with the exception of the dead bride sitting up on the balcony - go, you'll know what I mean!!!!) We ordered the dinner for two. First course was greek salad, pita and dips. The salad could have used some more red onion (we saw two pieces) but otherwise was good and had lots of feta. The pita and dips were great. Second course was spanakopita, tzatziki, keftedes and dolmades. The keftedes and tzatziki were the best I've ever had - so good!!! The dolmades were okay but certainly not great. Syrtaki's had the best dolmades in my opinion - with the right lemon sauce. I can't believe they've closed down. Anyways, the spanakopita was good as well. By the time the third course arrived we were stuffed. It was lamb, chicken, lemon potatoes and veggies. The lamb and chicken was great. The potatoes weren't as good as other greek restuarants I've tried. Big pieces with not the nice crust and lemon flavour I'm used to. We brought a ton of food home with us. Our bill with tip came to just under $100 (with a half litre of wine). I love greek food but my husband is more picky. It's close to our house so if we had out of town guests that wanted greek food we would definitely go there. I also would definitely return to get the keftedes for take out. Otherwise, despite the fact it was overall really good we probably won't return just because it's not my husband's favorite type of food.
