YASSAS - THE GREEK WAY (DOCKLANDS) — Restaurant in Melbourne

I went there on Friday night and it was bustling. They have inside and outside seating, although I was lucky to secure a seat inside. I love the decor: the combo of blue and white gives the place an airy feel, which isn’t far from the Santorini look they were clearly going for. The staff were lovely and quickly seated me and my family to a table. Usually we’d order from our phones using the QR codes at the table, but we needed to go to the counter because of technical issues. Even then, the courteous staff helped to make this just as easy.

The food was amazing! I had mixed gyros, which were a flavourful delicacy. I enjoyed the tender lamb and chicken meat, infused with Mediterranean seasonings that were intense without being overpowering. The live music performance made the whole experience even more pleasant. I don’t know the singer or the Greek language but I felt like I was a welcome member of a homely Greek town on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. I felt comfortable enough to dance in my seat as I ate.

I highly recommend going here. However, the live music isn’t always there, so call ahead if that’s what you’re after. It seems to be a popular venue so going early is essential, especially on Friday nights. I’ll be...

We visited this restaurant for a family birthday celebration and were extremely disappointed.

Ordered the $67.10 per person "feed me" menu for 5 (10% weekend surcharge). there was supposed to be a trio of dips, we only received 2 not enough bread for the dips one of our meze selections wasn't available, which we weren't told until after we'd already ordered everything one of our meze selections was not even served to us the chicken on the kalamaki plate was dry, but at the same time pink - disgusting the yemista was tasteless and served like slop, looked like they had been sitting in something for days the moussaka was oily and flavourless "chefs selection" of loukoumades was just cinnamon & sugar

Service was horrible, a large group left and their plates were left sitting there for about 30 minutes. Drinks were forgotten, and we were pushed to take the next course as soon as we had the last bite of a course in our mouths.

Everyone went home feeling sick, and upset that we'd spent over $70 per person with a drink...

Came 2 weeks ago everything was good , came back on Monday , we got there at 4pm and the Asian chef said it was closed in a rude manner . We decided to come back as it was really nice the previous visit & we were starving by then came back in an hour and was greeted by a beautiful young server . She was so pleasant and that’s my only reason for giving 3 stars on service as she was lovely she deserves 10 stars.

We ordered 3 minis and one regular souvlaki the meat was disgusting! I seen the chef reheating a huge pile of meat on the grill & thought it was odd as there has been no customers . Food came the lamb was burnt to a crisp ! Chips tasted old and were cold Think the meat was left over from lunch . Didn’t bother complaining because we were starving and due to the previous encounter with the chef , figured it wasn’t worth it! We dont mind paying $68 for food but not when it is like that . We Will never go back again...
