Villa Symposium Restaurant — Restaurant in Delphi Municipality

Hello, I have been in this restaurant because we booked our day trip to Delfos and we paid our ticket with the food included for 16€ extra (closed menu). We chose that due to it was the only available option offered with the tour.

I have advised the tour company about my lactose intolerance in order to get something ready for when we are there but anyone was aware.

After checking with the waiters, the only option they gave me was an aubergine dish with more vegetables. The closed menu, included one starter and one main, and if you are vegetarian or vegan, the starter and the main options are the same, so 2 aubergine dishes...

In my case, as I don't like aubergine, I have asked one of the waiters to show me the food menu in order to order a different thing. But he never came to take the order. After a while, I ended up ordering it to a different waiter. The service was really poor and no consideration was taken after I said I has my intolerance.

In addition, the only option available (lactose free) was the aubergine dish, so I ended up ordering 1 main extra + the main that was included with the tour company menu. Paying 12€ extra for an entrance I could eat and another 12€ extra for the drinks. (As a reference I paid around 15€ for any other meal I took in Athens, including drinks)

As a feedback: -Nowadays, more people have intolerances and many others are vegetarian or vegan by choice, not my case, so I ordered two meat plates. But if you are, it's not fair the only available options to eat there is the same dish for starter and for main. -The communication between the waiters and the customers is really bad, they just want to serve the food asap and go away, no taking care about customers experience to keep the customers happy and bring a good service. -At the end of the meal, one of the managers came to asked for feedback about how the food and the services were and I explained everything. He said the options available are enough for their customers, so I won't recomend this restaurant if you have any intolerance as the available options are really poor and the service is not great. It's worth to look if there is any other...

Part of a tour to Delphi. People who were having the 4 course set menu were being well looked after, and having a great time, with food that looked and smelled great, at great value. The few tables in the a la carte section had a different experience. We were all mainly served by the same person, (for benefit of venue- I think maybe restaurant manager or owner, since he was older, and was the only one who wore a sweater over his shirt, spectacles tucked into it) he was actively rude at times and generally sullen the rest. I was literally in the process of sitting down, hadn't even looked at the menu when he asked "have you decided what you want?" My wife, a little ahead of me picked up the menu and 'umm'ed he walked away without a word. I later saw him dismissively speaking over his shoulder as he walked away from a table of Asian/East Asian ladies who were obviously also unhappy about something. When our food was ready he came to our table and re-took our order before making another trip back to the kitchen to collect it. He wasn't checking; 'did you order this;__ ' it was "what did you order?" he hadn't written the order down and had forgotten. Awfulness of service became a little joke, I think it would have been depressing otherwise. We were never offered drinks and while glasses were on the table, no water ever appeared. The 4 course appears excellent value, a la carte, not. €5 for tsatziki and €7.50-8 for salad? Places with high rents in Athens don't charge that much. The bread that came with the tsatziki was either yesterday's, or had been left warming for WAAAAAY too long, the outer 1-2 cm were stale, not crispy, but dry, hard, stale. I've been a waiter in cafés and a Michelin star restaurant, and many between and in the kitchen in some of those too, I know the difference, and I know when an establishment doesn't really care about a type of customer. Waited far too long for a bill as well, it never came so we left cash on the table and...
