• still there, but is it worth it?

I visited Nonna for the first time in December with two friends. We were really excited to try it because it had come highly recommended by a few friends. We also like the way it looks inside, very homey and comfortable. However, our dinner there was a series of mishaps mostly due to poor service. Firstly, it took a long time for the waiter to acknowledge us or even bring us water. It took even longer for him to come back to take our order. I ordered the beetroot burger (as opposed to the other burger) in English and in Greek, then my Greek friend confirmed it in Greek. They still brought out the other veggie burger which was a grayish mush on bread. His only explanation was that they did not have the beetroot burger today (then why let us order it?) and that that was all I could have. This was all explained with very little concern that we enjoy our experience there. I would have just accepted it as a mistake, except this burger really did not look appetizing in the slightest. I said I would have ordered something else if I'd known that and the final agreement is we could keep it and not have to pay for it. I wouldn't recommend it. It was bland and mushy. Our salad had come first. It was good, but nothing special. We also ordered a veggie curry dish to share that was fresh and healthy, but seriously lacking in curry flavor. One of my friends ordered a pork dish that came with mashed potatoes. She really enjoyed it and thought it was great. Our other friend agreed. However, the other friend's main dish never arrived. The basically avoided our table after the burger mishap, even though they weren't busy at all. When we were finally able to flag him down, he seemed clueless about my friend's order, though we'd all heard him confirm it twice. She didn't want to wait for it to be prepared since we had finished everything else, so we just asked what the options for dessert were. He said he had to go check. He then walked nearby the kitchen and proceeded to put away forks and knives for 5-10 minutes before coming back to tell us there was no dessert that night. The friend who had the pork and I would consider giving Nonna another try to see if it was just an off-night, but our third friend swears never again! She went and got a burger afterward.
