Meze Mani — Restaurant in Municipality of West Mani

Transparency: 1 star. Food, service, and atmosphere: 5 stars. This is why the average rating is 3 stars. As a meze restaurant, the portions were generous, the food was well-prepared and well-served, and the atmosphere was relaxing. The restaurant offers a wide variety of meat and seafood meze, as well as salads and additional appetizers. The selection of ouzo and tsipouro is extensive, featuring high-quality options. However, an unexpected charge for bread, which we did not order, appeared on the bill for 7.5 EUR. Moreover, the bread wasn't homemade; it was low-quality, pre-sliced bread from the supermarket. While I understand that it’s common practice in Greece to charge for bread as a cover, this felt unacceptable considering all meals were priced around 8-10 EUR. Though 7.5 EUR isn't a substantial amount, customer treatment is paramount in the restaurant business. Given the total bill, we would have tipped more than the bread charge, but we chose not to tip due to the inclusion of an unordered item. It would have been simple to either indicate a cover charge on the menu or ask for a tip at the end...

Wonderful. Ordered the Greek Salad, Steamed Mussels, and Spicy Grilled Chicken Wings.

Greek salad: Great. A solid Greek salad. All veges were fresh, seasoned well, and quality feta as well. Considered asking where they get their feta.

Steamed mussels: My family always pick steamed mussels when restaurants have them, so we have our experience. Out of all the recent places we've been to, this one was the best. The meat of the mussels were large, not only their shells. The flavor of the broth wasn't too wine-y or bland, but just right with the garlic and tomato balancing beautifully. We were thoroughly surprised and impressed.

Chicken wings: MVP of the dishes we had. I didn't expect much from the chicken wings, thought they would be basic. They weren't. Genuinely the best grilled chicken wings I've had all year, perhaps even including last year. The meat was juicy even after cooling, and seasoning unbelievably perfect with the spice there and not just in its title, the size perfect to share, and the wings were cooked to actual perfection. I said I tasted skill and experience in these wings, and my parents agreed.

All menus were beyond expectations and impressed us fully. And the prices were amazing considering how quality every dish was. Seriously worth it in terms of cost as well.

Can't forget about the waitress. She was so kind. She may have forgotten a menu we ordered, but she apologized thoroughly with sincerity and was quick to tell us that they will cook it right then and there. The issue was solved with smiles on our faces.

Overall, highly recommend. Seriously. Amazing restaurant!

맛집. 치킨윙 뜯었을떼 와 한국인으로써 날개 많이 먹어봤는데도 놀라울 정도로 맛있더라고요. 육질이 날게의 모든 부위에서 부드럽고 촉촉한게 노하우와 연륜?이 느껴지는 굽기였습니다. 게다가 간도 딱 좋더라고요. 당연히 더 매워도 됐지만, 그럴 필요없던, 이미 그자체로 만족스러웠습니다.

샐러드와 홍합도 사실 정말 좋었어요. 오점 없고 홍합도 특히 이번년도 먹은 홍합중에 제일 간이 적절하고 맛있더라고요.

An exceptional place, a must-visit in these area. Every meze was great! even the meatballs we got for our little son were excellent. Tender taramasalata, juicy code fish, local cheese and fig jam, sardines, walnut pie. The service and atmosphere are incredibly welcoming. We sincerely thanked the chef (who also works in the gourmet restaurant opposite Medikon). And our dog got some water, even without asking. Thanks to the wonderful Iliana and the chef Simos Avrabos. A very pleasant...
