My wife and I visited here for lunch at around 12.50pm and found ourselves to be the only customers in the restaurant, which we felt was a little odd as we are in the middle of Glorious Goodwood Week and other pubs and eateries had been crammed earlier. However we had wanted to try the food here for ages and decided that it was time we did. We were greeted by the young waiter and led to the table of our choice, the menus arrived promptly and we ordered our meals. My wife ordered Greek Salad with Feta to start followed with Chicken Gyros for her main. I ordered Calamari followed with Keftedes, small meat patties with fries and salad. The starters arrived in about 5 minutes, the Greek salad looked and tasted delicious but the calamari was very basically presented with a pot of lemon mayonnaise and a lemon wedge. I felt that it was overcooked, which gave it a rubbery texture, however it tasted good. The main courses arrived about 5 minutes after we had finished the starters and were very nicely presented, but were both spoiled by the use of "burger chain" style skinny catering fries, whereas some freshly sautéed potatoes would have been much nicer in my opinion. The chicken gyros was very dry with a leathery texture but the accompanying salad was lovely. My keftedes were delicious, as was my salad, it was just the skinny fries that let the entire meal down. The service was attentive and unobtrusive. Altogether a bit of a disappointment. And my wife also had a slightly upset stomach a few hours later, although this may have been due to another cause. I took no photos on this occasion as l was quite honestly underwhelmed by the experience. I also felt that it was a little expensive for a light...
Read moreWe have visited here many times in recent years and visited recently for the first time in While and was exited to enjoy an authentic Greek meal. We was left feeling disappointed to be honest. The food wasn’t up to the previous excelent standards. It was very plain and seems like it wasn’t done with passion. The food was very plain tasting and underwhelming. The hummus seemed like it was out of a supermarket not fresh home made and the bread was out of packet the starter was feta in honey and that what is was near cold Feta swamped in honey not like the previous time. my moussaka was more like corned beef than minced beef and had no flavour. my partners beef stew was bland and the beef seemed cheap and un seasoned. The place was very quiet for a weekend upstairs was empty and only 1or 2 down Stairs. It feels a different vibe this time I did hear it has changed hands and was actually not so much a Greek influenced team behind it now perhaps gthst has had affect ,that . It is a shame As it was a loverly place we loved to go and recommend it to many people Sadly it seems to have lost its charm and edge. ...
Read moreWhen we first arrived at Santorini the smell of damp was overwhelming. We ordered the meat meze, octopus, chips & cheese. This was nice but the sausage was a like a saveloy. We were not given extra cutlery to serve and there was only enough tzatziki for 1 person. Then before we were finished one of the waitresses started clearing our plates and said 'are we finished?' whilst piling the plates. Then we ordered dessert. Yuck. One tasted of onions and the other tasted of nothing. We told the waitress who was very sweet but then the restaurant didn't offer any alternatives or discount or even an apology. It was 9pm when they started trying to clear away our glasses. Then at 915pm they came to check if we were still having our drinks. Then at 930pm they came to take the glasses away saying 'no rush'. They then turned the music off. We will not be going there again. If you want to enjoy yourself... Do go. Also no regular coffee, no mint tea, no ambiance. It's...
