Lovely evening turned into an absolute embarrassment! Everything was fine including the food, however I did find it a bit unfair that my partner couldn't change his fries to sweet potato fries without paying extra and we also had to payextra for BBQ sauce. Something that has never been too much trouble in other restaurants and usually never an extra charge for!
At the end of our meal we had a lot of meat left and so we asked if we could have this boxed up to take away. The waiter came back with a box and a bag and just left it on our table for us to box up ourselves! It's quite embarrassing having to do that in front of other customers, especially while the table is still full of plates, glasses etc every other restaurant has usually taken this away and brought it back out bagged or boxed ready for us to take.
Whilst my partner was doing all of this and meat falling everywhere, the waiter came to take payment for the bill and asked if I wanted to leave a tip! I declined and politely explained that it's quite embarrassing to have to box up your own food. He then said let me offer you a free desert, to which I decined and I said I just want to pay and leave!
The waiter then started smirking and kept on asking me why I didn't want the desert and telling me how tasty it was! I declined again and he kept on repeating himself! He was clearly trying to be cocky and embarrass us!
I was absolutely disgusted at the writers attitude and I went inside to complain. They didn't seem to care at all and their solution was to offer me a free drink with one of the other staff members!!! Whilst all this was going on the waiter with the bad attitude was stood next to me smirking, still offering me a free desert and repeating how tasty this desert was! In the end I just left because I clearly wasn't going to get anywhere!
I have never been so embarrassed! They really should be ashamed treating customers like that but they didn't seem to...

Read morePossibly the worst meal and service my wife and I had in Rhodes. Wait to be seated for about 20 minutes, when finally seated, menus where on the table but no waiter approached us to talk. Went through the menu, choose the dish we like and waited another 10 minutes for someone to approach us, just to be told half of the menu wasn't available anymore, including their own main dish, the one that made us stop at the restaurant. Asked for veal steak, we were told the piece should be around 400g, Greek salad and eggplant salad and their "per litre" 500ml dry red wine. Oh boy, where do I start. The wine hit the table first, I like wine and thought he was joking, there were no wine glass and the wine was vinegar, rose like, horrible to say the very least. The eggplant salad looked like children food, uninviting and tasted horrible. The Greek salad, we thought wasn't bad, but wasn't the best we ever had either. Now, the worst disappointment was the steak, come to the table and it wasn't much bigger than a 200g steak, white inside and tasteless. The french fries with it, where ordinary and grease. Also, if you don't speak Greek, they barely speak English, so communication there is terribly, and they don't make an effort. The place is very disorganised and chaotic. When ordering, we asked for kontosouvli chicken to be told was gone, but one single skewer made to the table, called the waiter who told us that it was gone, thinking it was a complementary one, just to be taken away as a mistaken by who brought the meal to the table. Don't be fooled by their high score like we were. Overall the worst experience we had in Rhodes dinner wise. Ah, price for this was €37.30, the most...
