Don't be fooled by the Pickles' sign and decor - Papa George is open for business. I could careless about interior design as long as the food is off the hook. And that it was! \n\nDolmades, juicy pork souvlaki skewers and rich spanakotiropita are made to perfection - even though it's different from how my family prepares it. Their tzatziki is loaded with dill and is probably the most flavorful one I have tasted in quite some time. \n\nI do, however, prefer warm dolmades with lamb (you can opt to have them served warm) and the pork portions could be a little larger for the price. The spanakotiropita could have had flakier phyllo. But it was well worth the calories. And what Greek menu would be complete without egg lemon soup? I'm crossing my fingers for it to appear on the menu. \n\nFinish off the meal with baklava - my favorite dessert! It's honeyed phyllo with nuts and cinnamon. Opt for the baklava sundae if you need a sweeter kick. \n\nEventually, the nasty Pickles' menu & ridiculous top 50 songs pumped through the speakers will end soon enough (unless you let the manager know which items you can't live without), the staff will continue to be employed and more Greek plates will be introduced. \n\nUpscale snobs - find another place to dine.
