"Visiting from out of town I wanted to find a simple mom pop place for lunch. Walking around the downtown area I happen across this location. Greek food is always a top choice for me because it's usually fresh and tasty. It's pretty hard to miss it being Greek with the white and blue outside decor, and a name like Olympia. But that's maybe beside the point. I walked in and was greeted with a great, friendly voice. Once inside the decor is quite dated, and the building is very old. But that typically does not mean the food is bad. In fact many of my best dining experiences are at old mom and pop type locations. As it turns out, this was no different. I ordered the Gyro plate, which is basically a Gyro without being wrapped in the pita. I want a little more salad and less bread. The plate was delivered maybe less than 10 minutes after I ordered, and the portions are nice and healthy sized. First bite the salad, fresh, crispy, clean. Dressing, nice. Second bite meat and salad, good tasting gyro meat. Third bite, I begin to chow down. Yep, this is what I desired. A clean fresh salad with yummy Greek seasoned meat, a little bit of pita, and I ordered some hummus for the side. The hummus was nice and garlicy, not quite as smooth as I'm used to, but indeed very tasty. I finished every bit of this meal with great joy. At the end I always ask myself would I come back here again? The answer is absolutely. Next time if I'm in Coeur d'Alene for more than a few days, this will be one of my stops. Thanks Olympia for the great meal and the friendly faces!!"
