    Mykonos Grill is the definition of a neighborhood gem. You can tell it's full of regulars. If we lived closer, we would be there much more often. Classic Greek specialties, lots of vegetarian and meatless choices. One of us had trout, a really nice piece of fish; the other had a seafood salad special, which was a _beast._ Service was just right - friendly and professional, and well-timed. Parking is easy in the adjacent shopping plaza ramp.

    My in-laws were visiting from overseas. We didn't want to do a lot of cooking for a small group, but also wanted to ensure they got to try an authentic Thanksgiving meal. Founding Farmers was a great choice! The food was delicious and our server, Jacob, was superb. Thank you!

    The food was so good; we had the scallops- perfectly cooked and so tender, set salad was just right and the short rib was melt in your mouth perfect. We had wine and finished with cappuccinos- a perfect lunch with a friend.

    The cod and market fish special were excellent. We started with the two different salads. We ended with the donuts, which were a bit much and not super special. We would have preferred a different dessert. We were celebrating an anniversary, and they did make it special with a bit of sparkling wine and a sparkler on the table, as well as a card. We saw a number of special celebrations for birthdays and such nearby. It is a nice place for a special night.
