ERGOSPASIO RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Municipality of Agios Nikolaos

Beware of this place and the games they play regarding the wine and the food. They will try to hustle you with expensive wine, and an enormous fish, which was far too much for three people. The fish they tried pushing on us was maybe 4kg, for 3 people at 65 euros a kilo that would’ve been 260 euros. They also keep the fishing line in the mouth of the fish to make it seem more fresh, but it’s all a marketing gimmick and a line they probably put in. They have more fish underneath the plate in the fridge that they show you, so the first three fish are not the only ones they have.

1st wine they recommended was the most expensive on the menu sitting at 280 euros. We went for a medium priced wine that was terrible. Flat and not stored well.

2nd wine we got was an Argyros Estate Assyrtiko Monsigniori for 75 euros. The bottle they brought and tried to convince us was an Argyros Estate Assyrtiko for 20 euros. The manager came over and told me I didn’t know what I was talking about, waving his finger in my face, when little did he know we have visited Argyros Estate several times during our fond years visiting Greece and Santorini specifically.

The people that said that the service was amazing probably didn’t realise they were getting scammed.

Food was unmemorable considering the rude service, and for the experience you get your money is best...

They have a large parking lot across the street so it was easy. Great views and so many seats by the water’s edge. The atmosphere decor looks high end and well thought out. You can even see the giant grill skewers for the meat. This building is historic and was the first to make carob on the island— you can read about it in the menu or the large sign in a corner of the building outdoors. The breadbasket had two different types of bread and a both were good. They also brought out a beet, and orange yogurt sauce to eat with the bread. The yogurt sauce was so good; the beet flavor wasn’t overpowering and it was balanced. The dark pink color against the yellow bread slice was so bright and colorful. I ordered the sea bass and the skin was crispy and the fish tender. The breaded chicken looked like chicken parmesan. The watermelon salad was actually very filling with the grilled cheese and the watermelon was very sweet. The mousaka was non-greasy, light and delicious— the proportion of cheese to the rest of the entree was a little too much but the cheese has a fluffy texture and weight. At the end of the meal we were treated to peach slices and watermelon slices as well as shots of a local alcohol. Servers were friendly and helpful and...

Sad to have such a nice place and too rude owner. We wanted to have a nice dinner on the peer tables, a beautiful spot and we ask to be seated there, they said all of them where reserved and we agreed to be seated somewhere else. A few minutes later, a group of 6 appeared without a reservation, ask for a table and they got one of the nice tables, we thought it was because they were a big table but immediately, a couple arrived asking if "by any chance" they can get a table on that side for 2 and they took this couple to the nice tables. We asked once again if we can be seated there like the couple that just arrived without a reservation and they said it was not possible, we decided to talk to the manager and ask why we were being treated that way and the man did listened to us, he simply shout at us "those are for reservations, i don't care, no comments". Sadly, the worst treatment we have received in Greece...
