Gorlomi — Restaurant in Athens

Food was great, although on the expensive side but worth it. Now let me explain the 4 and 1 stars. 4 for service as this obsession of high end restaurants with slots needs to stop at some point. We go out to eat and have fun and meet with friends. We pay handsomely to do so. So confining us to (very strict) 2hrs slots is really annoying. Finally the big issues.. In 2025 and at such a place to be allowed to smoke… Really? And when we complained initially they tried to explain is a semi open space (not at all…) and then that the owners allow it and they just work there. Unacceptable. I really liked the food but will never step there again as long as they allow this. Even when I was a heavy smoker I respected that and stepped outside to smoke, I cannot accept that...

Much lower than my expectations: to start with the sweets were the best part of our dinner, much better than the main dishes… The service was rather mediocre (the waiter spilled wine on the tablecloth whilst pouring into our glasses, the waitress who grated Parmesan cheese scattered bits on my friend’s skirt - sic!). The cheapest bottle of red was €47.00 which, well, doesn’t add up well to the availability of bottles that ranged from €200.00 and €480.00. I would expect much more from a restaurant located in the heart of the affluent Kolonaki neighbourhood of Athens. The restaurant may still remind certain glorious moments of the past, but is defo in...

Nice place in a location that’s hosted many others restaurants before. The decor and music are pleasant, creating a nice buzz. The crowd is varied with ages ranging from early twenties (due to the nightclub downstairs) up to fifties. The service is quite good though the place is always packed which causes the odd delay.

The food is way above average though definitely not in line with the prices, at around €100 per person. Still the combination of atmosphere, style and food might just make it worthwhile for a fun...
