We were there recently the location, the view and the decor of the restaurant are amazing. The food and menu has definitely improved and everything was very presentable and tasteful. Still regardless of the positives mentioned above the overall rating is low because the restaurant is very poorly managed and this has a negative impact on the overall experience. The night we went the staff were arguing between them and with the supervisor without caring about the customers. This shows that they have a superficial politeness when they greet you that dissappears in a split second because they lack professional training. Professional traing is expected by customers when they visit high end restaurants as is AKTI. Regarding the music it is important to inform that it is very loud and people can't communicate without shouting something not expected when you have a dinner celebration of 10 pax booked at 9.30pm. The most annoying though was that music played was purely Arabic. When we complained they obviously didn't do much as this continued for more than an hour. We love all kinds of music dont get me wrong BUT an hour and a half of arabic dancing music playing loudly is too much. Maybe management needs to better understand and communicate what they are offering and what is their target group because it's not Greek or international for sure. Concluding it's sad to see such places that are so unique and so Greek to be so...
Read moreThis is the worst restaurant i have visited in Greece. I will not recommend to anyone due to the bad service provided by the waiters despite that it is considered as a very expensive restaurant. I have made the reservation and requested a table in the smokers area. they confirmed indoor availability since restaurant is an open area. When we arrived they informed us that restaurant is full and we have to sit outside under the small umbrellas. We have requested to sit under the shadow of the pergola due to the heat and sun. Unfortunately they placed us between two families with small babies where we were obliged not to smoke due to the presence of kids in front. We have ordered a Greek salad and some appetisers as starters. They brought the octopus and the shrimps as well as the meat balls before the salad. We asked about the salad they brought us the main dish after 2 minutes. We have ordered raw fish they brought us tarama. I just want to point out that with a very expensive restaurant with 100 euro per person at least they should have the right number of waiters for a restaurant who should serve 100 persons at the same time and not 4 waiters for the whole restaurant. I do not recommend this restaurant and will give a big zero. Thanks not to visit during your stay in Greece. They are destroying the reputation of the greek cuisines with their...
Read moreRidiculously overpriced. We were a party of three and one had an oyster and then prawn pasta - about an hour later she then started being sick and was clammy all over. I asked our waiter if it was possible to simply take her main course off the cost of the menu as she had to leave early due to potential food poisoning. He immediately became defensive and rude. The lady at the entrance was nice but the manager was also rude. They also made us leave after two hours when we were in the middle of our drinks, as they bluntly said ‘time’s up’. Apparently they needed the table but no one sat at it for the next 40 minutes. We sat on a bench outside to finish our drinks. The view is beautiful and the music was good, but the food was very average for the price, with small portions. ‘Classic cocktails’ listed on the menu as costing €15, but when we asked for one espresso martini we were told to order from the signature list instead. Staff nice until we politely asked for one main course to be taken off (€25 from a €263 bill), and then they...
