Alexander The Great Greek Restaurant

My family and I came here for my Aunt's birthday. Place looks pretty fancy and elegant. Kind of pricy but you're getting a dinner and a show. The music is geared more towards an older crowed (loved it though). Our waitress was so awesome. She was so patient and nice. When you check-in you get a free appetizer of anything under $10. I ordered the hummus. It wasnt the best... But hey it was free! They also give you this olive oil and feta cheese with sliced bread... It's so hard to stop eating. I ordered the gyro platter. So much meat! They definitely give you a generous portion. Not the best gyro plate I have ever had.. Mediocre. Our favorite part was definitely the belly dancing and their house margaritas. So much fun for a group. The dance floor is opened if other want to dance too! I would definitely come back.

To die for! The food was excellent, waitress was very knowledgeable of the wine selections. She Picked out a Greek White wine that was perfect with mY food. Beautiful inside, has linen tablecloths and napkins. Full bar. Traditionally Greek food.

Okay so all of these years later we returned after searching everywhere in Houston for good Greek and not finding it. Unfortunately this place just doesn 't hit the mark for us. Penny was our waitress and she was wonderful. She let us try two white wines to see what we wanted and we picked a very enjoyable white wine. We started with the dips and for $17. I was hoping for some very impressive dips. There are 4 but they 're all okay-good . Unfortunately, none were amazing. The pita was solid though and they do give you more if you need. Now the main dishes are what ensured this place gets a 2 for me. My fiancé got the Yia Yia chicken and I got the stuffed flounder. Neither made sense for the price to us. Chicken isn 't expensive, and his portion was really modest to us. They both came with soup or salad, but neither of those were special enough to offset the lack of the entree. For my stuffed flounder, there was one small shrimp and the crab stuffing was far from plentiful. Flounder on its own isn 't worth $28 and with the small stuffing and one shrimp and a salad, this one still wasn 't worth more than I pay for branzino at other places. The atmosphere is interesting but definitely an older crowd when we went. While Penny did a great job, for $150+ with wine, this meal just didn 't work for us to want to come back.

In the area and not in the mood for hotel food. I was referred to the Mexican establishment but located a Greek restaurant in the same plaza. I walked in and was greeted right away and seated. The restaurant was not crowded for dinner. I was served bread and delicious olive oil with cheese. I wanted more but I ordered the $35.00 restaurant month special. It's a 3 course meal. I ordered the shrimp appetizer, salmon entrée, and the sundae. The shrimp appetizer came with peppers n onions in a red sauce. The sauce was suppose to be spicy but it was not. It was very good and a nice serving. The cheese was a nice touch and it added to the flavor of the peppers, onions and shrimp. It came with 3 shrimp. The salmon entree was served hot and delicious. The desert sundae was ok. I love deserts and it was just ok but was good enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. I love the service. Penny was attentive and was helpful with helping me select my meal. I would love to return to the establishment to enjoy other entrees.

We stopped in for a light dinner. The waitress who served us was attentive and personable. When I couldn't decide which white wine I preferred she brought me three choices to taste and recommended a light and fruity white. She brought me a generous glass thereafter! We ordered the appetizer plate and they customized it for our vegetarian preferences. Lots of vegetarian choices on the menu but we were glad we only ordered the cup of lentil soup(made with veggie broth) because the servings were so generous! Food was fresh and delicious! They brought warm toasty bread and dipping oil to start which was heavenly. I had enough leftover appetizers for lunch the next day. We will be back again!
