Tholos (Bridgend) — Restaurant in Wales

My first visit to Tholos. We came for our date night, and I was thoroughly impressed. The decor is dark modern, has a nice mood lighting, and cool Greek myth murals on the walls. The waiting staff were really nice and efficient. The man who took our drink order was very knowledgeable and gave me a good recommendation for a Greek rose, which I loved. The food was probably the best I have eaten in South Wales. We had the shared mixed starter of hummus, tzatiki, bread, dolmades, and feta pies, which was lovely. Plenty of it and tasted like it was all made fresh. For mains, my husband had the Beef Stifado and I the lemon- oregano chicken. They were both stunning. I could have eaten that chicken all night. Again, it was very fresh and plenty of it. We were too full for dessert this time, but I want to go back and have some next time. I highly recommend Tholos. It was only a short walk from the train...

Never had Greek food before and Tholos did not disappoint! Absolutely outstanding food. 9 of us went so a variety was ordered and everyone said how gorgeous the food was. Service was spot on, our lovely waiter couldn't do enough for us. We didn't have to wait long for anything. Atmosphere was lovely and everything was very clean.

The only downfall was the toilet. 2 toilets signed 1 man 1 woman but shared sinks in a small space. When I went in a man was coming out of the ladies cubical so going in after him I was relived to see a disinfected spray on the side to use because there was clear splash marks on the seat. Personally I'm not comfortable sharing toilet facilities outside of my own home, but one of our friends mentioned that apparently it's actually they way it is in Greece in alot of places?

Other than that i would say highly recommend, we will...

Hugely disappointed and very overpriced for what you get. Visited this new restaurant in Bridgend, lots of staff around eagerly waiting to serve you and get you back out the door again. Inside is well decorated, but didnt really get the 'greek' experience we were expecting! Service standards quite poor, basic table waiting skills were hugely lacking, timings of food coming to table, no check in to see if food was all ok either. Still eating starters when main meal came out, and no plates taken away. Took our drinks order ask for Koh on menu to get a different one, and g and t already poured, turns out no gin in it! This substandard service would make you question whether the food is freshly cooked as restaurant was full and we had finished two courses for four people within 45 minutes! To spend £104 for four people I was expecting a much...
