I have dinned at Pano's for the past 20 years monthly. Unfortunately the changes that the new owner implemented in decor, meals available and several of the servers "bad attitude" have made Pano's now an every 3 month visit. The server at our last meal in May 2019 was absolutely miserable and made the beginning of our meal most unpleasant.

We have been coming to Pano's for almost 20 years and were excited that it was finally reopened. The food was not good at all. I got the Mediterranean plate and there was nothing Mediterranean about it. It was listed as Gluten Free and the waiter said " you just wont get the bread". The plate had a half a jar of pickled artichoke hearts, some dry lettuce and no dressing , hummus that was way to thick and some other jarred pickled concoction. In a word it was horrible. My friends were not happy with their dishes either. All in all it was very disappointing and we wont be back.

A few of the menu items were not available. 6 of us were seated at a booth much more suited for 4 people. Food was okay but we probably won’t return.

Food was average. It was uncomfortably hot inside. Doors were open which let in flies.

Totally new decor which at first seems bright and open. But it turns out the brightness lends itself more to a cafeteria diner than the cozy restaurant it used to be. And my absolutely favorite dish - the beef gyro - was completely ruined! It's supposed to be a rolled pita smothered with the yummy tsaziki sauce. Instead it was flat with about a tsp of the sauce with some of the beef and a few tomatoes and lettuce. Uh, no lettuce on a gyro. When I asked for more sauce, the server brought a teeny little plastic cup. The calamari was soggy. The meals also took forever. Not the Panos we knew and loved.

The portions were ENORMOUS! I had the Swiss and egg omelette with marbled rye and home fries and it was delicious. Loved all the new decor and how bright it is inside. The new bar and open kitchen concept really bring Pano’s to the new century without losing what it does best-great food. The staff were attentive and quick and we were in and out for breakfast in under an hour and half and I had a 3 year old toddler in tow! Can’t say enough about the facelift on this place and love that it is still great food and an awesome vibe. Can’t wait to return to try the crab cakes Benedict!

Waited over an hour for our food; some came cold; some was missing items that came 10 minutes later; manager came over and listened; nothing was done to make anyone feel better;

We were there for over 2 hours, it took me 40 minutes to get my drink and an hour and a half to get food. The waitress we had had an excuse for everything; first the coffee wasn’t brewed, then the food was cooked wrong and had to be redone, then the computer wasn’t working so we had to wait to get a paper check. All of the other people in the restaurant were getting their food way quicker and people who arrived significantly later than us left before we did... food tasted amazing and wasn’t expensive and the restaurant itself is beautiful. Just bad service.
