Barraca Mare Mare — Restaurant in Municipality of Patras

There are several things that make a bar by the sea: First the sea. On this Mare Mare is unrivaled. There are tables that are practically within five steps from where the waves break. The setting has been nicely decorated and on a hot summer night it feels brilliant. Second, the service. You do want to feel that everything is as magical and special as the setting and sea and here, unfortunately Mare Mare fails to deliver. Water, comes in plastic disposable cups (and it's not cold). The waiters are not trained and although they do try hard, their best is not sufficient substitute for a system to working the tables that allows the patrons to get their drinks in time without having to wait for more than forty thirty minutes (for a couple of drinks) and an additional twenty (for ice-cream ordered at the same time as the drinks, which came half melted).

A waitress came, cleaned part of the liquid on the table, and took my fresh glass away. I had to use the one from the first drink. Unfortunately noone asked me how I was. Even after they saw me cleaning my phone...

Service was mediocer. We asked for salt and pepper shaker and it took for ever to get one. By that time food was cold already. Chair pilows were damped. All tables had candle lights except ours which was brought by the end of our dinner. When we asked for our bill we didn't get a tax receipt, and once we asked for it then the waitor got it... after some time. The whole experience of having dinner at this venue was...
