After Westfield Century City’s recent re-opening, the mall now offers a wide variety of new restaurants. Liz Haltrecht ’19 will be writing a series of articles reviewing new eateries located at Century City.

Simple and delicious: Petros strives for these goals in their food, but reality falls short. 

With five locations throughout Southern California, Petros is a popular chain that serves Greek dishes with a California twist. 

The restaurant offers a variety of traditional Greek meals, such as the Chicken Pita Wrap, while also offering LA-inspired food, such as the Super Vegan Platter — which consists of  beans, lentils, roasted potatoes and swiss chard. 

I was initially drawn to Petros because it appeared to have a formal ambiance and serve an array of cuisines. Once I walked into the restaurant, I noticed the beautiful, large open windows, which brought in an abundance of natural light.

Petros was also pretty crowded when I arrived, with the lunchtime buzz created an exciting atmosphere. One negative, however, was that it took over half an hour to be seated because the restaurant did not have enough staff. 

Once we sat down, my mom and I shared two salads: The Shrimp Salad and The Feta Caesar Salad. We added grilled salmon to the latter, which was delicious but far too expensive, $23.

Overall, I found the food at Petros to be mediocre; the salads were decent but definitely not substantial enough for a full meal.
