It was busy and perhaps a larger crowd than expected as can happen early in the week.We shared a plate of white bait, plump and moist in the centre but crisp on the outside. A good start. The Moussaka was very good with delicious crispy edges but strangely served with an overly generous quantity of shoestring fries, not mentoined on the menu. Perhaps a little salad to cut the richness of the Moussaka or some traditional potaoes with lemon would have been a better accompaniment, particularly as we had ordered a side of fries to share. A warning from the wait staff would have been good.The greek salad gnocchi was well recieved although the ammount of Feta cheese was more than the dish needed.For me the half a chicken roasted with salsa verde turned out to be something different altogether. It was actually a chicken breast,done on the grill, with pesto, served on a bed of thinly sliced potatoes, both sweet and standard white. These had a nice char on the outside suggesting they were also done on the grill. The chicken fillet was sliced after grilling to sit nicely on the potatoes but as often happens the thin end was dry and overdone and thick end undercooked in the middle. Whilst this was a potentially ok dish it wasn't what was on the menu and hence not what I had ordered. I think you need to tell people if you are serving something completely different. The menu needs to be more specific and the wait staff better able to provide information and advise about dishes or changes in the kitchen.For dessert we shared the Tiramisu Sunday. This was a disappointing deconstruction and if you were expecting anything vaguely related to the flavours of Tiramisu I wouldn't order it.FOS does get good reviews, the menu reads well and some of the food was good so we will give it another go but based on tonights experience it doesn't quite measure up to a Melbourne Greek dinner or other restaurant choices in Bendigo.

However value for money it is not.I ordered the lamb cutlet and the wife the chicken breast. $32 dollars for a lamb cutlet that wouldn't weigh 200 grams is insane. As soon as the plate hit the table I was disappointed. The wife's chicken breast wasn't much better. Tasted fine but prices and portion sizes are at a massive disparity. Better options in bendigo.

Friend had the barbecue chicken ..appearance unappetising....colour bland, drab..only a few pieces of chicken with a tiny piece of sweet potato on plate with a bit if saute onions also 38. Only approx a third of menu on line is available in house menu..reason I was told us that they were hacked 3x? Very limited main meals available. Found it weird that a greek rest doesn't hav moussake on their menu. Positives.. service surberb 10 out of 10. Plus enjoyed the entrees and red wine.

We both had the $70 three course menu which was value for money and couldn’t fault it, fresh tasty and plenty of it. Definitely would go back. Thank you for an awesome dining experience
