Very flavorful (muy sabrosa) & authentic Ropa Vieja! The entire dish is filled with tender beef, peppers & green olives with black beans & rice and excellent tostones too, which all the flavors compliment each other so perfectly! A very generous portion of each, especially of the beef! Will definitely order again!

Very disappointed. Over $19 for the Leafless Greek (with extra dressing) and I received a quatered tomato, 3 slices each of green and red peppers, 4 olives, a 1/2 Tbsp of diced cucumber, 1 teaspoon of feta, a couple slices of red onion, and a side of vinegar and oil (I think?) Times are tough, fresh food is expensive, and the salad is technically as described. However, the vegetables were very low quality (slimy and rubbery cucumber, mealy and yet still unripe tomato, etc) and the salad weighed only a few ounces all credited to the tomato. As requested I did receive extra dressing, but I'm not sure for what as I received two varieties neither of which were greek). Perhaps
the name is a play on words...rather than Caesar it's a "Lifeless Greek" salad?
I expected more and the restaurant should be embarrassed. Unfortunately, I fear they won't be. They're catering to the tourist crowd who say things like "$25 for a side of toast? Well...we ARE on vacation...!" The same crowd fueling the "Hamptons on the Delaware" whispers that turn family homes into short term rentals.
Do yourself a favor and order the antipasta salad from Catanzareti's. For under $10 you get a banging salad chock full of both fresh and pickled veggies, freshly sliced meats and cheeses, and zero hubris. But, do it soon before someone snatches it up and flips it into an Airbnb experience.
In the interest of complete transparency my husband and children very much enjoy their empanadas and order them with some regularity which is why I gave the salad a try. So if you must dine here, you might want to stick to empanadas.

The salad was very sparse for the price point.

Their Garlic Parmesan Wings are amazing! Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside! A great meal.

Ordered on Door Dash. About half of the mussels weren't open.
