Christo's Mediterranean Grill, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Greek Restaurant Details

Food:

1) The owner is pushy. He asks you questions like, "Do you want salad or fries with your order?" Then when you choose one he charges you for it! It's NOT a side dish...it's EXTRA!
2) The portions are SMALL!
3) The lemonade is 80% ice!
4) The bill cost is much higher than what we ordered with no explanation of how it got so high.
5) $5 tip even though the owner is the server.
6) The cook and the owner eat while they are waiting on the customers.
7) The rice is small portion and borderline disgusting, so is the hummus.
8) The server (also the owner) touches the food when he serves it! His thumb was pressing down on the pita bread!

Anyone who thinks this is how restaurants should be like has not eaten at a restaurant before!

I really hope this is NOT how authentic Greek food tastes and that is NOT how Greeks do business!

Food:

Good Mediterranean food! Service is bit slow but it is definitely worth waiting. The atmosphere is also authentic. Prices are good. The food is original. Do not expect Mcdonald`s efficiency.

Food:

Small restaurant with great authentic charm. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. Staff was very friendly and helped us choose the menu. The signature dessert was amazing. Great find !

Food:

This place is awesome. It is simple, unpretentious, and straightforward. The food was delicious, everything felt like old family recipes. The house wine was great, as well as the Greek sheppard's pie. It isn't the cleanest, classiest, or the most organized, but it would be a shame to miss out on the food for that.

I went here yesterday with my boyfriend. It was a hot day on the 4th of July so it was pretty crowded. We waited 30 mins before our waiter came back to place our order. At this point we were already contemplating leaving because the wait time was so long and we were hungry. We noticed that only one table in the restaurant had their food, so we figured the wait time would be very long. The waiter then brought us our salads and to my surprise there were a few fruit flies in my salad. Without apologizing, he immediately gave me a new salad that had EVEN MORE FRUIT FLIES in it! My boyfriend went up to pay for the salads out of courtesy and cancelled our orders. At this point a different waiter came over and apologized that since it was a hot day they had to keep the doors open. He offered another salad but I didn't want a third bug infested salad. Then our original waiter came back and I told him the second salad had even more bugs. He told me they aren't bugs they are spices. I told him, yes they are small and could be confused as spices but they have wings are in fact bugs! He didn't say anything and just walked away! No apologies at all from our original waiter. By that point we had paid for our salads but I wish we would have just walked out sooner. I understand it was a hot day and things happen, but two salads with fruit flies and no apology from our waiter is not acceptable. Rude and unprofessional service, not returning. Check your salad before eating...
