Zorbas Taverna — Restaurant in Municipality of Thira

Service and ambience is terrible for Greece... It's like "eat, pay, leave": You are served your dish and althought there is still food on your plate, they come and want to pick up the plates... Not only once, but many times in a short period. It's very annoying if you want to take a small break from dinner, eat slowly and relaxes and the staff keeps on surrounding you like this. That's stress... As we got our salad, we were served 4 slices of bread and a spoon full of butter. We expected this is part of service or whatever... Made 2€ on the bill. You get food, that you didn't order and you must pay it. They didn't even tell you, that it costs extra and didn't offer it - they just served it without asking. NEVER expexted this in Greece and I just made a road trip through whole Greece, ate at many restaurants in different locations, were served bread (not in every single restaurant), but it was ALWAYS free. As well as a glass of free water, which used to be common in Greece... The food was not bad at all. It tasted well, but it was not really much... I ate (all together) more than one dish... All together, I would not recommend this restaurant to other people. Maybe the food is good, but too small in my opinion. But in regard of the service and ambience I would not eat there for dinner, because I want a relaxed dinner and will not be served and billed things, that I didn't order and without beeing...

AVOID AT ALL COST!! I ordered a pesto sauce, but there was not any pesto sauce in it, they had substituted Basil for herbs like dill and very dry. (no sauce just herbs with spaghetti). I spoke to the owner and he just got defensive and told me it was pesto sauce but I showed him a picture of what pesto sauce looks like and he said yeah it's the same, I said I was unhappy he walked away frustrated and didn't care and ignored me. The table next to us also ordered a seafood pasta and complained and ended up leaving not eating their pasta dish.

We went inside to pay and we didn't even try to get the pasta off the bill after the customer service we had from all the staff. We said to the owner when paying that it was really bad and that you shouldn't claim it's pesto pasta when there's not one single ingredient of pesto in the sauce and he slammed his hands on his desk and stood up and started yelling and was very very aggressive it was very scary that he went crazy over some calm feedback of his food. We have now read past reviews especially on trip advisor and can see this is a reoccuring thing that happens defending his food with aggression to make customers scared and pay in full we also spoke to some locals and he and his place is known for this. I have never had worse customer service experience, I WOULD AVOID...

Don't go here! The representative even threatened me when I told him that we were disappointed about the food and the service.

An example about the food: We had the fish plate for 2 persons. We got 2 mussels, 2 shrimps, 1 'little fish" and a bit calamaris. It was really though and not enough, meanwhile we had to pay 37 euro for it.

An example about the service: Meanwhile we had fish and you had to use your hands, we didn't get anything to clean our hands. The staff didn't look at us for a second, there was no communication. Not about the food, the bill, our complain, the drinks, nothing.

When we complained we had to talk to 3 guys before someone spoke English. He said sorry and would make it up to us 'just give us 2 minutes". But he did nothing and let us wait for 20 minutes without any messages. When the other staff asked again why we hadn't paid yet, the first guy came again. We asked him what he wanted to do to make it up with us. Now he said he couldn't do anything. When we told him we would tell other people about our experience, he threatened me.

Never eat here!...
