Dimitris Tavern — Restaurant in Municipality of Sithonia

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was by far the worst dining experience we have ever had in Greece. From the moment we sat down, things went wrong.

We ordered an appetizer of zucchini fritters, which were incredibly thick, greasy, and unpleasant. The salad was literally swimming in oil, making it almost inedible. To make matters worse, the service was shocking. After we finished the appetizer, the waiter did not clear our plates, even though the restaurant was almost empty (only three tables occupied at the time). Instead, he brought out the main dishes and had nowhere to place them. When I politely asked if he could please clear the plates, he responded rudely, rolled his eyes, and arrogantly repeated “ok? ok?” in a dismissive way. My family and I were left speechless at his behavior.

Basic service was completely missing. There were three of us, yet we were given only two plates. We had to take one from another table ourselves, along with cutlery and even napkins, because the waiter simply ignored us. He saw what was happening but made no effort to help.

On top of the terrible service, the food itself was well below average—definitely the worst we’ve had during our stay in Greece. At every other restaurant we visited, the staff were warm, welcoming, and kind, even when things weren’t perfect. Here, we experienced the exact opposite: rude, careless, and disrespectful treatment.

It now makes sense why this place barely has any recent reviews and why it was half-empty while all the other restaurants nearby were full.

We will never return. If you want to enjoy a peaceful evening with good food and genuine Greek hospitality, I strongly recommend choosing one of the many other restaurants in the area where you will truly...

Rating 1/5 because they are not honest.

IF YOU THINK THERE’S ANY DISCOUNT, THERE ISN'T. ALSO, THE "GREEK NIGHT" WAS A TRIO OF MEN WHO PLAYED LIGHT MUSIC, BOTH GREEK AND ENGLISH SONGS – IT WAS JUST A LIVE MUSIC NIGHT, NOT A GREEK NIGHT AT ALL.

We went and ate on two different evenings because we decided to give the restaurant another chance, and they told us they would have a "Greek night." The food was mediocre, the prices were normal, typical for the season. First of all, when you sit down at the table, they bring you a bottle of water and a snack with sliced bread and a dip of olives and peppers with cheese (I think). On the first day, we ordered Veal Fillet (mediocre) and Grilled Octopus (which was soft and good). We also received dessert and a shot of mastic liqueur from the house. At the end, they asked if we had any vouchers; we had a 10% one from the accommodation, and apparently, they applied the discount (which, in fact, wasn’t really a discount). In the end, we noticed that water was charged on the bill, as well as the bread, totaling 6.1€, which was supposed to be the discount :). On the second evening we went, it was the same thing: water with a snack. We also ordered an eggplant salad - 4.8€, beef fillet - 26.5€, fresh squid - 16€, draft beer - 5€, and grilled sardines - 10€. However, on the bill, there were 4 extra portions of bread at 1.8€ each and water at 2.5€. Also, on both evenings, we received the same amount of bread and snacks. Please check the photos. Without the discount, and if the items we didn’t order were truly from the house, the total bill should have been 62.3€, but it came to 72€, and after the supposed discount,...

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your prompt response. While I appreciate your explanation regarding the internet connection issue, I must express my continued disappointment with the overall experience.

Firstly, despite the internet problem, effective communication and service recovery measures are essential in the hospitality industry. The fact that two dishes were included in our bill without being served indicates a significant oversight. It was only after we pointed out this mistake that the charges were removed, which should not have been necessary if proper checks were in place.

Moreover, the impolite behavior of the elderly Macedonian waiter further marred our experience. A simple apology for the delay and errors would have gone a long way in mitigating our dissatisfaction, but unfortunately, none was offered.

Given these circumstances, I regret to inform you that we will not be returning. I hope that my feedback will contribute to improving your service for future customers.

Best regards,

The worst service. cooked food that is ready, and you wait 20 minutes for it to be served to you, in the end it turns out that they did not bring you 2 dishes, but they included them in your bill.

In conclusion, an extremely impolite elderly...
