Yeah.  When I worked next door, I'd occasionally be forced by circumstances to
have dinner there.  The Greek version of lasagna is horrible, but most of the
rest of their food is pretty decent.  If you order things that taste good after
they've simmered on the stove all day, like pot roast and stews, you can eat
extremely well there.  But the desserts don't have any flavor, they're just
inflated with NO2 or CO2.  It's one of the worst places I've ever been for
desserts.  My recollection (this may no longer be true) is that I even had to
specifically tell them not to top a chocolate shake or malted with two inches
of plasticky whipped cream.
