What People Are Saying About Snack Taverna

The Scene – As befits its Soho pedigree, the 50-seat storefront is spare and sleek, with patterned beige banquettes, ebony-trimmed white walls and black-and-white photographs of rural Greece. But the eager-to-please staff warms the place up, even if their snappy all-black uniforms can make it tricky to tell the waiters from fellow diners. – – The Food – The kitchen likes to give Mediterranean dishes a contemporary twist: Moussaka is transformed into an airy roulade of sheer potato slices wrapped around lush sauteed eggplant. Waiters suggest eating family style, but…

Worst service possible
by maplewooddrive
We, a group of five, ordered take out on a Friday evening just before 9pm. Despite repeated calls, the delivery did not arrive until 10:45. We opened the food to discover that we had been given the wrong order - one greek salad, a few pieces of pita, and some dipping sauces. When we called to report the erroneous order, Gary the manager said he found it "very hard to believe" that we had received the wrong order. He was not apologetic in the least, and went on to say that if we would pack up the food again, he would send his delivery guy over to pick it up from us to deliver it to the rightful recipient who had ordered it. He offered to do the same for us before we told him that was highly unsanitary to take food that would have been out for the better part of an hour with a stranger and deliver it when they had made the mistake in the first place. I will never eat here again having had some insight as to their reprehensibly low standards on both customer service and basic sanitation.
- Pros: Nothing
- Cons: Customer Service, Sanitation problems
Charming, Good food, Stick with the small plates if you don't want to spend the big $
by BoissonClaire
The waiters were very attentive, charming and sweet. I went in there for an early dinner wearing a t-shirt and shorts and I didn't receive any of that snobbishness that other reviewers complained about. The mushroom youvetsi was delicious and only $11 - plenty of food unless you feel the need to be overstuffed. Try one of these 'small dishes' if you're looking to save some money. The Greek coffee was delicious - I had never had it before, it is the richness of good cocoa. yum.. Oh! and the Greek yogurt on a semolina cake with blueberry compote was lovely for desert. I would definitely go back.
- Pros: Nice waitstaff, tasty food, cute and candlelit ambience in the evening.
- Cons: Prices for the larger dishes are low to mid $20's - not terrible, but not cheap either.
The Details on Snack Taverna
What to Drink:
The list is surprisingly all-Hellenic. Wines are well-described (one white offers "citrus and ocean breezes"), and prices are refreshingly reasonable. Bartenders will pour a shot of retsina for tasting before you order a glass.
