I called the restaurant and it was explained. There were 3 of us and when we ordered we asked how many pieces came in the order of spanakopita (it is 2) and I guess we asked if it could be 3 so they charged for the extra piece. It was still pricey to pay $9 for a little square of spanakopita but at least we weren't charged for a doggy bag!

Ouch, that's expensive for apanakopita.

On a different note, now I'm craving that.

Lol...I am sure that you can find a better one for less money. I have eaten there a couple times and the food is always mediocre and over priced IMO but I was outvoted. The best part was (we were sitting out on the patio) there was a dog at the next table celebrating his 13th birthday. . :star:

Ha! Well he found a way to be by us. Such a sweet guy and we had just been served our food so I am sure he smelled it. Plus we were all petting him and making a fuss. . His parents said that he gets a meatball.

3 of you and only 1 bottle of red wine? Did you all drive? Anyway mega fun.

Her friends probably aren't big drinkers and she wanted to get totally wasted so my bet is she went to a bar a block away from the restaurant beforehand. Pounded down three drinks in 15 minutes so she was happily wasted by the time she got to dinner.

Sorry, I didn't take a pic of him. His name is Ben and they have a Golden puppy at home which he isn't too happy about. He is a mutt and looks like he has a lot of black lab but not that big. When they first sat down, they apologized because he came right up to our table but of course he found a table with 3 of the biggest dog lovers ever so he was welcome to be there.

According to your check, a full order of spanakopita, which you later wrote consisted of two pieces, was $18. So, $9 wouldn't be out of line for one piece, which is a half an order. That's still expensive for spanakopita.

Was that his bark mitzvah?

Gus’ grocery charges $6 for a spanakopita so $9/ea feels fine for a nice restaurant

I think Ben was just happy to be out of the house and away from the puppy.
Yes, once I was told what the charge was for it made sense.
