EGLI - ΑΙΓΛΗ Restaurant — Restaurant in Municipality of Pylos and Nestor

We tried to eat here on two occasions but on the first we ended leaving because we'd sat there for well getting on two hours without anyone taking our food order (we got one drink order as we sat down but no more), and we weren't the only table in this situation.

The restaurant was packed and they were turning away people who had booked tables. It seemed like they were extremely understaffed. One half of the restaurant was being served by an aggressively efficient waitress. The other half of the restaurant by a waiter who got in a car, drove off and never came back! It seemed odd to us that the waitress had zero interest in helping out the other half of the restaurant even though she could clearly see there was a problem.

We assumed this night was just a blip so went another day and it was much quieter. The menu was very small and printed on paper at each table, but everything sounded tasty and authentic Greek, which is what you want.

The food was extremely tasty. The service the second time was still a bit hit and miss and the owner was extremely apologetic about it all. We felt genuinely bad because he clearly had too many customers and just not enough competent...

The food was decent quality-wise and the location was relatively quiet and enjoyable. Having said that, when I ask for the menu, the excuse "we have many foreigners coming in so we don't have one to bring you" is simply ridiculous, and (like another reviewer mentioned) having to look up the dishes from a street stand with no prices is offensive. The prices were at least 40%-50% of what you would pay in other restaurants for the same dishes (€11 for a Greek salad? Really?!?). The house red was also beyond its due age (probably due to poor storage conditions). The service was polite enough, but the feeling you were being conned was eminent. We will not be dining there again unless they get their...

An unserem ersten Abend während unseres Aufenthaltes in Vounaria am 7.6. wollten wir aufgrund der vielen positiven Bewertungen gerne hier zu Abend essen. Als wir am Restaurant ankamen, war dort recht viel los und nur noch ein Tisch frei. Diesen steuerten wir an und ein vorbeilaufender Kellner nickte uns zu als wir auf den freien Tisch zeigten. Daher setzten wir uns. Kurze Zeit später hastete eine Kellnerin auf uns zu und begrüßte uns mit den Worten: "Sorry guys, I'm alone today and we're full." Sie bedeutete uns zu gehen. Wir hatten Verständnis hierfür und kamen dem nach. Sodann begaben wir uns zum Hotel, holten unser Auto und fuhren etwa fünf Minuten später nach Koroni. Als wir in Vounaria aufbrachen, fuhren wir direkt am Restaurant vorbei und mussten feststellen, dass an dem Tisch, an den wir uns zuvor gesetzt hatten, nun ein anderes Pärchen, bereits mit Getränken saß. Wir waren sehr enttäuscht von dieser Situation. Die Kommunikation der Kellnerin suggerierte, dass keine Kapazitäten für weitere Gäste vorhanden waren. Dass bspw. Reservierungen vorlagen etc. ging hieraus nicht hervor. Auch war ihr Verhalten widersprüchlich ggü. dem einladenden Nicken des anderen Kellners. Wir fühlten uns sehr vor den Kopf gestoßen und unerwünscht und haben das Restaurant kein weiteres...
