ALARGINO TAVERN — Restaurant in Municipality of Elliniko - Argyroupoli

An exceptional restaurant of the meze style. The environment is decorated to reminded you of the Greek islands, and as the main feature is seafood, the reference is the sea. The vibe of the restaurant and the whole neighbourhood is very positive. Service was very good, although it was evident that one more waiter was required. The existing waiters were very nice and accommodating, although we struggled to catch them when we needed them. The food: just brilliant! This explains why it gets busy even on weekdays! We tried a variety of dishes and everything was just brilliant. Nothing was overwhelming. We shared everything in meze style. The grilled mushrooms, the salad, the fava, and the mussels were simply divine, and we highly recommend these dishes. The shrimp saganaki (in tomato sauce) and the fried calamari were also good, but we knowingly ordered these being from frozen products. Alargino is highly...

It is a really nice restaurant focused on small plates and specialised in seafood (though there are also some meat dishes). Everything we tasted was absolutely delicious and you did not expect to have such quality fish and generally seafood in a restaurant located inside the city! The prices also were absolutely reasonable! The main and only reason I am rating with two stars and I will not visit it again, nor recommend it, is the rudness of the staff!! The main servers (probably the owners) were not only impolite but they also had an insulting attitude, which was enough to irritate us and ruin the night, despite the tasteful dishes. The assistant waiter though, was extremely polite and helpful, but as I observed was treated in an irrespective manner by his supervisor! A good restaurant shouldn't only focus on the plates, but should respect its employees and the customers. I do not recommend...

Two stars because of the service of the oldest waiter in the restaurant came to our table to bring the bill and started to do jokes about who pays! The jokes were like "I left the bill to you right? And happy birthday" (of course it was not my birthday).

The second I have to say is that he touched my back after this bad joke. Next time may I touch him back.

Two stars because the food is good (otherwish I would give 1 star) and the other staff (young persons) are very good. The guy with the gray hair (the older from the staff) has to change his attitude.

We used to like the restaurant because of its quality but after this experience we will think twice if we will come again.

EDIT: I forgot to add that all these without any sales receipt (of course there was no discount because of the lack of receipt). As someone else wrote right in...
