Retsina Greek Restaurant & Taverna

It was OK. I hadn’t been to retsina for a couple of years as previously it was underwhelming. I went in hoping it had improved, bud sadly not. My review is intended to be constructive because this place could and should be a gem. Family run, great location, lovely setting, exactly the kind of place I would love to go to regularly. Front of house were lovely and helpful, where it’s let down is the food. I can’t say the food was bad, but I can’t say it was good either. I ordered Dolmades to start, two very small dolmades arrived. Although the flavour was ok, they were far too small to serve only two as a starter. Main was stifado, meat was tender, portion was small but the sauce was pretty thin and not very flavourful. Pretty certain the onions in it were jarred pickled onions rather than kokaria or even shallots. I think the kitchen staff could benefit from experiencing some of the other Greek food places liverpool has to offer.
