SYRAKI — Restaurant in Municipality of Syros and Ermoupoli

Traditional place with serious wanna be tendency. Instead of traditional dishes the menu only had some disappointing “fusion” inspired dishes that were even more disappointing to taste. Defrosted, preheated, blunt tasting, uninspired dishes. Overall a big no no! Try something else instead.

Dear, Good day. “Fusion” is the polite way of describing your menu. But it’s ok if you don’t like it, I take it back. Tuna patties : canned tuna, tasteless, salty, dry. Kebabs : very equally shaped and most definitely bought and not freshly made. Mushrooms : watery, blunt with pesto sauce from a jar. Bread : what bread? No bread, just defrosted pittas. Salad : no taste, minimum olive oil if any and lots of balsamic glaze for flavour. Not successful anyway. If your idea of freshly prepared is combining frosted, jarred and canned goods I apologise for the inconvenience my review caused. If your chef has the ability to make freshly prepared food taste like frozen, canned food, well that’s sort of a talent too… Last time I checked a menu with Greek dishes it had simple stuff like sardines, marinated small fish, meat balls, sausage, nice simple salads, you know… Greek stuff… I saw your reviews, quite a few of your customers share the same ideas as I do. Also, for your information 4 people on the table said exactly the same, the table behind us were saying exactly the same things, the table across us had only drinks probably because they already knew and finally a guy came, sat on an empty table… ate his souvlaki purchased from a different establishment and when finished he left. 1) Probably knew the case as well 2) he sat there for 40 minutes and no one even saw him… Anyway dear, try to see this as constructive criticism. This is not a case where you need to defend your menu. It’s a case where you can decide if you want to change for the best. You have a nice place, the live music was very pleasant and the service ok, hence 2 stars instead of 1. The food needs lots of work. Take it or leave it. Maybe next year I have a good reason to change my review for the...

Eating here was a really bad experience! The quality of the food was hedious while on the other hand we paid too much for it. The pork with mustard was a disaster... You simply had to smell the food and you realised immediately it was pre-cooked and of the poorest quality. No taste, no character at all. The worst part is that neither the service nor the manager cared about the complaints. It seems that they only care about money, instead of offering a decent food quality. I do not recommend visiting the "restaurant", there are much better restaurants to...

The place was packed due to the wonderful live music, and I was right in the corner, difficult for the staff to see. Even so, the service was surprisingly bad.

But I won't tell you how bad, because in every other way, it was superb. And as bad as the service was, it would be worth putting up with 10 times worse in order to experience the atmosphere that it the place had that night.

I suspect that the service I experiences was the result of really bad luck, and encourage everyone to come to this place, especially when live...
