The Greek Isles was highly recommended by a friend for having the best Greek food in Charlotte.  The food was pretty good, not the best I've had but probably the best I've had in Charlotte.  So why then is the rating so low?\n\nThe service the night I went was downright dreadful.  The restaurant was only 2/3rds full the Saturday evening I visited yet it took them five or so minutes to find a place for me.  Then it was another 10 minutes before I looked so helpless that someone came over, apologized, and took my drink order.  Another 5 minutes before someone took my food order.  The Greek Salad was ok.  Another 10-15 minutes for the entr\u00e9e.  \n\nIn all, we were there for well over one and a quarter hours for a simple dinner. They even admitted their service was lousy.  I'm planning to go back once more just to see if this is the way it is or if they were having an off night.  If things improve, I will rewrite the review.
