You are right - it has always been ridiculously overpriced. YES, the food is really great - clean tasting, simple, elegant. But for me to have even a modest lunch it seems like I get set back 20 bucks easily. Saying that however, it looks like their prices have come down. I always thought that the Soulakis (sp) were around 8 bucks, but their website shows them in the 6s. Still, I always end up needing to eat at least two! One dinner out there, a friend ordered the Soulaki plate, thinking it was going to be different to the lunch version.. She was unfortunately wrong.. It was just the same thing, with a small salad - and almost twice the price of the lunch version. That was a year ago however. In short, I don't blame them for their prices. Their original place is in an expensive part of town, and it is pretty obvious that the people going in there regulally have cash to burn. Any business is going to sell their product for as much as they can. As a patron, I am just glad it seems like the prices have dropped. The owner of Vios also has a tragic tale, and does quite a bit for the community, so hats off to him. I really hope the new place is a raging success, I am sure it will be.
