Restaurant Stamatia — Restaurant in Municipality of Kos

I don't understand the reviews here. The kitchen is nothing special. The menu is overcrowded. First observation: bread was old and came with butter. Quite shocking for Greece, which has the best olive oil. We took Greek mezzes to start with: Greek salad is ok but came with small feta; tzatziki is overall good but not great art; zuchini keftedes were sadly burned. Then the shrimps saganaki came recommended by the waiter as fresh, yet they were overcooked, definetely not fresh anymore and looked like someone had puked on the plate.

Ended up just ordering pizza for speed and was the worst pizza I have ever had… was obviously frozen and the base was so hard and dry. The margarita pizza my children had wasn’t eaten and they eat any pizza… mine had mushrooms on and they were obviously from a tin. We just felt like they wanted to get us out S quickly as possible. Such a shame as the location is amazing… not sure if they were just...
