Noooo, I didn't go to Dinner with Schmucks I went with my girls! (Here you go Sonja sorry it took so long haha) The first 2 girls I met when we moved here were my apartment leasing agent (Raelyn) and my boss at my first WA job (Sonja). I liked them so much that I decided they were going to be my friends and they had no choice in the matter. Now, we go on dinner dates together! We ended up having so much fun that we are going to start doing it every few weeks. The plan is to explore Seattle food and some adventures that we think might be fun.
We were to busy stuffing our faces to take pictures of ourselves that night but we did get pictures of all the yummy Greek Food!
Our very first place was Kafe Neo in Mill Creek.
None of us had ever been there and we all wanted to try a bunch of food that we never had ordered before so we ordered lots..and lots of food to share. It was fantastic.
We ordered 3 appetizers:
We got the Hallumi - So delish.
The other two appetizers:
Traditional Hummus & Greek Olive Medley.
I actually TRIED a big ole Olive and it wasn't bad. Can't say that I just want to eat them but it was not a horrible experience. I might even venture there again....
Up next you get Soup or Salad with your meal and I ended up getting this soup:
I loved it! The lemon really was different but it worked and the tangy to salt ratio was perfect in my opinion. If you like chicken noodle soup give this one a try.
Onto dinner - I've tried the following before at other Greek places and Kafe Neos chicken breast was the best I've ever had. I love that I have the choice of white meat and at other places it's usually some other parts of the chicken. Who knows, alls i'm sayin' is that I really liked it.
Chicken Breast Gyro
Then we noticed this big tray of stuff being toted around and discovered they have "mini" deserts. Seriously... I now have an EXCUSE to get 2 because they are Mini's?? AND are only $2.50 a piece?
Well played. Well played.
Between the 3 of us we got these 4:
Rice Pudding = surprisingly yummy! I never thought I'd like it.. I was wrong.
Creme Brulee = a big let down. Not a fan.
Chocolate Baklava = a surprising let down. The chocolate got in the way of the honey and I can't believe I'm saying this but it just wasn't needed.
Kahlua Mouse = Very good and gooey.
Overall we really liked Kafe Neo - the waitress was so sweet and my water got refilled like 4 times which in my book means you're golden. I'm definitely going to go back and take CK with me. I can't wait for the next girls dinner though- I think we decided on Thai food next (I've never tried it) so that should be interesting! Next time I'll try to remember to take a picture of Us too...not just the food haha. Oh, and it's a good thing they are totally cool with me snapping tons of pictures of our food for the blog...that's not weird at all.
Are there a lot of different Restaurants in your town to try out?
