Full Review: Alexandros - Miller Place/Overall Rating 5 out of 5 stars (CLOSED)

Mrs. Guido Says: *****

Food: skordalia, moussaka. Skordalia was prepared well and tasted good on the warm pitas. However, wasn't too flavorful. Moussaka was absolutely amazing. Prepared in a somewhat untraditional style with a light layer of tomato sauce on top, but this offset the lightly breaded eggplant and spicy meat very well. Very large portion, which is necessary for an ala carte restaurant. Coffee was strong but naturally sweet, which was perfect for me, cuz i love strong, sweet greek things. Prices were reasonable for what they gave you. Staff was friendly and accommodating, offering to give us wine on the house for causing a "disturbance" by moving a table near us. Atmosphere was dark and romantic, with candles on each table. Menu was slightly limited, but had all the staples. Overall probably the best greek dining experience you'd get on long island.

Mr. Guido Says: *****

I'll start right off and say this - Alexandros is the best Greek restaurant I've been to on Long Island, by far (and I should know). Gyro joints are a dime a dozen around here, but this place is a real Greek restaurant. Its basically a hidden treasure, because from the front, it looks like one of the afformentioned gyro joints. Once inside, the front does have gyros and the typical Greek "fast food", but you can tell, even the gyros would be excellent. In back is a very quaint dining room, dark, with candles on the tables, and proper Greek folk music playing. Food: skordalia, pastitsio, greek coffee (medium). Skordalia was very good, pretty garlicky, and tasted great with the warm pitas. The Tsaziki dip was also just as it should be. The Pastitsio was excellent. I was served with some red sauce on top, which is not usual, but really complemented the other flavors, and I actually preferred it this way. The portion was huge, too. Greek coffee was delicious, and was brought out with an old fashioned, traditional Greek serving tray. Overall, this was a great dining experience. The atmosphere was romantic, the service was very good, and the food was well prepared, fresh, and came in large portions - just how a Greek restaurant should be. I can't wait to go back.
