Akrotiri Restaurant CocktailBar — Restaurant in Preveza Municipality

Horrible from start to finish. We arrive for lunch to a quite empty restaurant, instantly asked to move tables because “this table will be in the sun soon” (spoiler: it was not at any point in the sun) to a smaller table a few rows back. So far so good. I then ask for a cocktail menu, as they call themselves cocktail bar. Surprise: they don’t have a cocktail menu?!

Now the food: wanted one of the dishes with a slight modification, not possible. How inflexible can a restaurant be? Order the potato rocks starter, meatballs and risotto instead. Took 45!! Minutes to get our food. When the potatoes come out I thought there was a mistake. A big bowl of dry looking fried potatoes with a bit of dry cheese sprinkled on top. No idea who thought that should be a starter, seemed more like a side dish. Then the risotto: absolutely overcooked, too much sauce and awful, slimy consistency. I ate one bite and could not eat more as the consistency was so off. Meatballs were ok, just be aware they don’t come with any sides. Literally just meat and some tomatoes on top, also quite unusual for Greece.

The service: saw the waiter maybe 3 times, to order and then when bringing our food. No asking how the food is, no asking if we need further drinks etc. Then looking at us with disgust when we didn’t tip and even asked for a tip (mind you, in Greece tipping is not very common, and most restaurants don’t even actively ask for a tip).

The only good think is the location, but I can get that at hundred other restaurants in Greece, with much better food, prices and...

Great location for a sunset dinner, and good food. The octopus starter was a bit tough and odd, but the other two dishes I had were spot on. Would give 5 stars, but the service needs a bit of work. I ate there twice, thinking my bad impression from the first time was maybe due to me being tired from a day of travel. But my second time was even worse service than the first. The server was friendly enough, but maybe they are under staffed? You get sat without a menu, despite the hostess walking you past the basket of menus, and the wait times between service are a bit much. I did want dessert, but finally just went to the front to ask for my bill after waiting with an empty plate on the side of my table for 30 minutes. Would be perfect place if better staffed. Or there's a possibility my service was deprioritsed due to me being a solo traveller? I definitely wouldn't go back for a...

Restaurant is located in a lovely location overseeing the a small cove with ample view of the coastal landscape. I appears to also be recently renovated and the service was very attentive. Unfortunately this is where the positives end. I can only speak on the dishes we ordered and those alone as the rest of the menu may be excellent. As starters we had the quinoa and lentil salad (very tasty but on the smaller side) and the hummus (that was very good also) so maybe we had high hopes for the main dishes as well. Beef tagliata was unfortunately of poor quality and was chewy and hard although it was cooked medium , the meatballs we had were very dry and shrimp pasta we had ordered was overcooked. The only redeeming plate was the lamb as that was excellent! Bottom line. Very nice location and atmosphere. I will probably visit the place again but...
