MESOGHAIA — Restaurant in Municipality of Spata - Artemida

Listen...this is supposed to be a 5-star hotel, so you expect a certain level of service at its partnered restaurants. I understand that Greek hospitality may be slightly different than Canadian/American, but considering its proximity to the Sofitel hotel, and the prices (€18 for a dry club sandwich and €16 for a, admittedly good, margarita pizza topped with not-so-fresh basil), one just assumes that the food and general service will be the best. For comparison, many restaurants in Athens serve the same thing for under €12, and the portions are bigger, too. Your total bill for two people will usually be under €20-€25, not including alcoholic beverages.

I will say that the dessert was very good.

It also took 15min for a server (not the one assigned to us) to make eye-contact because we wanted more water. We felt ignored by the staff, which sort of dampened...

Overall if you are staying at the Sofitel Athens hotel for a short period of time, this restaurant will satisfy your hunger cravings until your...

Its not often a restaurant can take your expectations and completely blow them out of the water. The other way unfortunately.

I did not expect much, being a hotel restaurant with a captive audience 1hr away from the city, I really did not have high hopes. Even that low bar was able to be taken lower by the restaurant.

The service was painfully slow, which I can ignore given the labor shortage and all. What I cannot ignore is the horrible food at a premium price. We had a rice dish, a pasta dish, and a pizza to share. I honestly had better food coming out of a microwave, which coincidentally is what everything tasted like. The pizza was 100% without a doubt frozen and thawed in an oven for a few minutes. The pasta and rice were mush and bland.

Do yourself a favor, you'd have better food eating at...
