Da Luz Bar & Grill Kalamata — Restaurant in Municipality of Kalamata

GOOD LUCK IF USIMG THIS PLACE! I have been travelling & staying here alone for 2 weeks. Went for dinner in the early evening, very quiet, hardly any customers there. I am always very polite, & asked the waiter in charge if they had swordfish, yes, then asked if I could please have a Greek salad instead of the rice, yes. Just water to drink. I asked for the WiFi password, winter in charge was going to do it for me, it didn’t connect, he said “one minute” and walked off, was still around but never came back to sort it. After ages I asked the young guy serving, he did it straight away from me, very helpful and polite. Food came, swordfish was tasteless and watery (not moist, but watery) Greek salad I asked for had no olives, feta or enough oregano to give it any taste, I asked the young guy for olive oil, he kindly brought it straight away, but it made no difference to the taste. I left most of the salad and about 1/4 of the swordfish. Head waiter asked if there was too much, I politely answered about the salad & swordfish, he turned around to speak or serve the table behind me, came back and just said “EIGHTEEN” no apology, explanation or excuse even - I paid the €18 and left, I was glad to get...

I went there because I was attracted by a 4.5 average rating, based on in over 2k reviews. What could possibly go wrong?! Well, I ordered a starter and a risotto. They arrived together: too late for the starter, and too early for a the risotto (which notoriously should take at least 20 minutes). The cheese croquettes were cold, not crunchy, and with a massive amount of low quality cheese (probably 200-300g), coming with a sauce from a bottle that they serve in Chinese restaurants. Seriously, tomato sauce with cheese?! From a seafood risotto I was expecting some average quality frozen seafood, but things went much worse. Some of it was impossible to chew - pure rubber, impossible to cut even with a knife. Some of it, the mussels, had a horrible old taste. Some of it was decent (frozen shrimps and frozen calamari). In conclusion, I left on the plate most of the food, which in Greece I never do! However, there was a kind waitress and a stunning position on the beach. Bill: 30 euros. Bottom line: go there for a drink, and eat some street...

A great spot over the sea to have your drink. However the waitress with the braids is definitely one of the top 3 unprofessional and unpleasant people I ever witnessed. Today 10/06 we wanted to order and the young waiter informed us that another person will come. He went to her and it took her 4 minutes to come to us although there was no other table to get an order from. Until that point, it would not be such a problem except a lazy attitude. My friend order a schweppes soda without sugar. He mentioned it specifically 3 times as he has an issue with sugar. So the soda comes and lo and behold, the soda is with sugar. My friend asks her to replace it and instead of her apologising for the mistake, she rolled her eyes and took it from his hand and went off. Never seen before such a ridiculous attitude. Hope the owner sees this review and find people who are able to...
