by Daniel D. on So they've been handing out these "Free Happy Hour" deals like the PPA hands out parking tickets. And at the end of this "Free Happy Hour", you've spent the equivalent of an expired meter violation. Bah! I went with some friends who had received this fabled Golden Ticket of "Free Happy Hour" (I will not stop putting it in quotes until it starts living up to its name). We got drinks, looked over the food specials (which seemed decent upon first glance) and ordered up. At the end of the meal, we were presented with a check that did not in any way reflect the prices we thought we were paying. Even after getting a floor manager involved, the bill was still quite high. Nothing against the manager, he did his best to try and take care of what he could, but it was more a matter of not having this "Free Happy Hour" made clear. It was essentially the same Happy Hour anyone else was getting. Don't get me wrong, I'm no fool. I know there's no such thing as a free meal or free drinks. But we were thinking this was some kind of deal to get people in the door and hopefully get them to come back. We entered the door, but I doubt we will enter it again. The food was okay. Typical bar-fare, trumped up with excessive adjectives in the menu. Sliders, fries, mussels, wings, etc. Nothing was awful, but nothing was at all special. The decor of the place is insane. They have more TVs than Graceland, all showing something different. It's full of the local office crowd looking to pound Coors Light and Bud before catching their train back to whatever suburb they came from. Their cocktails are overly fruity, totally unoriginal, and bland as tap water. The beer list is decent, but not expansive. All in all, I can think of several bars within walking distance of TOB that serve a better menu, have a better drink selection, and are way more worth the Center City prices. This place used to kick so much ass as Zanzibar Blue, now it's just another white-collar watering hole full of suburbanites and tourists. Wholly disappointing and blah.
by Sonca P. on When I think Greek, I think of an exuberant enviroment with waitors throwing white plates on the ground and shouting out "Opa!" However, I didn't see any of that here at the Mykonos Taverna. Enviroment was pretty dull. The food wasn't all that great. Maybe it's just me and I'm not that all into the greek cusines. But regardless of whatever the case may be, I'm quite sure the Greek people do in fact use salt in their cusines. Well yeah, here at the Mykonos Taverna, I don't think "salt" was even written in their recipe book. The food tasted pretty blan. I used to be a fan of pasta salad until I tasted the pasta salad at Mykonos Taverna. I don't know what's wrong with these people's taste buds but seriously... USE SALT! The pasta salad did not speak "Greek" to me. All it showed me was these people threw some dry pasta inside a boiling pot of water and sprinkled some cheese on the top and called it a day. Hm, does sound very appetizing now does it? Yeah, I didn't think so. However, the outside of the resturant was quite beautiful. It's VERY blue. If you're trying to look for this resturant, you definitely can't miss it. So I'm going to give this resturant 3 stars just for the outer apperance of it. The food itself? Umm...all I can really say about that is *shrug*.
by Jamey Jackel on I've been to Terrace many times, and each visit was very enjoyable. The bartenders were accommodating, quick to serve my needs. I'm thinking that these bartenders generously pour the liquor in my glass because I was quite tipsy after a few drinks. To top it all off, these bartenders look great and are up for a good conversation. Nice interior as well!
