by Barbara S. on Okay, so yesterday a friend asked if I had ever been to Mykono's Taverna and I said yes and gave her my thoughts on the place and the food. I told her that on my first (and only) visit that the food did not taste fresh. The greek salad seemed "soggy" and that it was drowning in dressing. Well, since scoutmob was offering 50% off, I thought we should give it one more shot. I mean they are about to have their one year anniversary so they have worked out any kinks and have read the review by now. WRONG!!! So we ordered hummus to start; a scoop of hummus with warm pita and a mini greek salad on the side. The pita was tasty and warm. The hummus was okay, but did not taste freshly made, but more like it had been scooped from a tub of Atheno's ( I bet they buy it in bulk from the Sam's Club next door). The mini-greek salad had cucumbers that were extremely soft and translucent. At this point, I thought I would just let the waiter know and they would bring us fresh cucumber (July is cucumber season, isn't it?). His response was "is it REALLY soft?"... How odd to ask such a question as if some level of softness or mushiness would be acceptable. At this point I am nervous as I had ordered a greek salad with my main course. The salad arrives and I then remember the liquid contents of my first greek salad there nearly a year ago. It seems they must prepare all of the salads up in bowls for the week, cover them with saran wrap and let them sit in the fridge. When the salad arrives, you can just see that the contents are soft and limp. Before ever pouring the dressing over the salad, I look in the bottom of the bowl and there was close to 1/2" of water that the veggies were just bathing in. The salad was terrible. I did try a couple of small bites hoping that something would taste okay, but unfortunately, everything was just soggy and wet. Once my main course arrived, I just kept thinking that if they aren't using fresh vegetables in their salads, what have they been doing with the chicken? And the greek potato's were crunchy and were not cooked completely. So that was it for me... I left nearly my entire main course on the plate. Thank goodness for the the tasty pita bread or I would have gone to bed completely hungry.
by Diana K. on Finally got to experience the famed "Le Cercle" of LA's Ktown. Didn't like how they didn't let my cute best friend and I in for free (come on, it's a BOOKING club and we are not fugly), just because we had no waiter connections. Apparently, the way it works is: you go to the club and if the waiters think you're attractive, then they'll book you throughout the night to try and get their tip. And if they find you're pretty marketable, then they'll hand you their business card and tell you to use their name to get in for free the times after that. Any way, fast forward through the night. I had really high expectations of this place and it's big, but I actually thought VR (its competition) was better in terms of music and setup. Cercle is straight up formatted for you to book. I thought it'd be a FUN and interesting experience to get booked. (I know. How did I come up with this deluded idea, right?) It was actually kind of scary. When I tried to leave the room we were in to go downstairs to the bathroom, another waiter would grab my arm to try and bring me into another room full of gross looking guys. There was one guy who could see my 'deer in the headlights' expression and told me I didn't have to stay. Basically, once I safely made my way into the bathroom on the first floor (where the waiters are lurking outside of, so that they can grab your arm to pull you into other rooms), I texted my best friend so that we could plan our escape. Seriously, I rarely ever have to pay for a night out on the town in Manhattan or DC, but in LA? I paid $20 for cover and we purchased our first drink at the bar (which was watered down, I had to ask them to put in more vodka, which was also cheap vodka btw) which, also, didn't come cheap. Then, you're expected to act like a concubine, as you are led into these rooms since the alcohol has its price. Never knew what it meant to "work for a drink" until this night. Overall, an interesting experience, but I don't think I'd ever go back again. OH, and another thing: You have to pay for valet, which I understand applies to all of LA, but it's still just another added burden that makes this club even less appealing. Highlight of the night? When my best friend and I ditched the club and went for some Jack-in-the-box. And needless to say, we threw out the business cards our waiter handed to us when he invited us to come back under his name "for free".
