Melliá Restaurant — Restaurant in Municipality of Sithonia

Good afternoon, I’d like to leave a review and share my thoughts in response to the previous review by the user Cucueitu. We were all sitting together at the same table. Long story short: we ordered shrimp with vegetables, and we were asked whether we wanted small or large ones — but they didn’t mention that the price difference was significant. Also, the price wasn’t listed anywhere on the menu. In fact, these particular shrimp weren’t on the menu at all, but they offered them to us anyway.

The only thing we complained about was that the price was not communicated in advance. After swimming, we only had cash with us, so we ordered based on how much cash we had. We were quite surprised when we were charged €43 for five shrimp that weren’t noticeably larger than the regular ones.

The only mistake on the staff’s part was not informing us of the price beforehand, especially since it wasn’t on the menu.

A staff member came to speak with us, and we resolved the issue very politely. He even offered us a bottle of wine — much more expensive than the shrimps 🙂— but we declined as we don’t drink alcohol. We ended up resolving the matter by paying €20, as if they were the regular shrimp.

About the food: The food was delicious, the portions were generous, the staff was polite, and the atmosphere was great. The prices are slightly above average.

P.S. Please consider adding prices for individual items or letting customers know in advance :)

Wishing everyone a great day and success in your...

Me and my family were in this 'fine dining restaurant'. Our experience - terrible ! The hostess seated us at the table and left. And here we go waiting.......waiting....waiting, after 15 minutes the hostess brought us some bread , after 10 more minutes we asked her can we have menus and after 15 more mins they assigned waitress for the table ( in total we waited for 40 minutes for menus ) . Voila! BUT, after the menus, we waited 20 minutes for the waitress to get our order. And here we go again.... at the end of the order, we asked for an ashtray 3 times . FINALLY, we were lucky ! The service is without order, they brought a dish to the table whenever was ready ( My husband was on his salad and my father git his second course 😉 , not nice at all !) I ordered octopus, which was over grilled. It tasted like charcoal. We asked for a wine recommendation - we didn't get one ( why this place has so fancy raiting ???? ) We had just paid our bill, but still finishing off the rest of our wine, when the waitress started nudging us, to clear things from the table and literally pulled the paper mat out from under my mom's arms. Which was super rude! When I told her that it was rude and we were still at the table, she started to explain how this is tavern, and that's how it was done in Greece. Until the end, we didn't know who our table waiter/waitress was. The food ( without the octopus) was OK, but nothing special, and it was overpriced.

You know what? Do not...

We were a group of 12 people with a bill of around 600 euroes. Their waiter tried to scam us by claiming one person of our group who left didn't pay their bill (they did, even left a tip)... The singer is good. The food is decent. Our table was served by 3 waiters. They were all great until it was time to pay our bill and the issue arouse. They split the bill in 3s without informing you. Our friend paid and left early...then they claimed she didn't pay and asked the other 2 people they grouped her with to pay her bill again (around 50 euro)...I had to go around the town to find people and drive them back to figure this thing out...everything was resolved in the end with them refusing to admit fault. Will not visit again.

The owner is apparently also a liar or being lied to. The tip we left was more than 50 euro. The waiters said that they always split the bills like that, we didn't ask them to. At the end of the night the waiter said that there could've been a misunderstanding and gave us the money back and even tried to bribe us with a few drinks so we don't make a review... Now we'll all make reviews cause they continue to lie. The "old lady" was there to buy land and can most likely buy your entire establishment. She would never leave without paying. The camera showed the waiter take money OUT of the cash register, it didn't prove...
