I visited Mykonos for the first time and am happy to give 5 stars for their amazing dishes and excellent quality of service. This restaurant is situated in the heart of a lovely Greek town, Tarpon Spring. I was visiting from California and wanted to try a local taste. Having done a google search, I picked up two candidates to try. I decided to go for Mykonos over the other one because someone wrote a review "THE BEST restaurant in the area." Once I open the entrance, the decor welcomed me with a stunning mix of traditional and modern with an accommodating atmosphere. Tables provide a view of the chef working in the kitchen. We visited the restaurant for an early dinner (around 4PM) without reservation. Because it was the weekend, we expected to wait outside; however, we had a table right away. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious and mouthwatering starters and mains that will appeal to youngsters and adults alike. I had my favorite traditional Greek dishes - Skordalia (garlic spread) and Lamb fricassee (fresh lamb steak with lemon dill source). They were all exquisite! Everything we ate was fresh and delicious. I could tell that they use the best quality ingredients to produce dishes that are simply delightful. Great portion well enough to share with two people. The service was way beyond my expectation. The restaurant owner visited every table and greeted her guests, which I found quite professional and welcoming. Little dessert from the house was a lovely surprise after the meal. In conclusion, I highly recommend this restaurant. I'm so glad that I trusted someone's review and gave it a try with Mykonos. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is brilliant. Now I'm back in California, but I already miss the place! I will definitely come back to explore further the surprising dishes they offer.

Alright ... my rating is lower than most, but it’s accurate for my experience. My wife and I visited the Sponge Docks and after some shopping, we were both pretty hungry. We experienced some pretty good customer service wherever we went that day, until we arrived at Mykonos. Our customer service experience was fair at bad. Our waitress wasn’t happy and wasn’t that attentive. Her attitude was really matter of fact. That’s okay. It wasn’t poor and she could have been having a bad or long day. Also, the decor is not outstanding but it’s all serviceable. When we arrived, the restaurant was only moderately busy. There were a number of tables opened and we quickly found a seat (for smaller parties you seat yourself). When we left, the pace was slammed. Two large parties (group of 8 and 10 arrived). After we were seated it took a few moments but someone eventually came over. Someone brought our drinks and brought us bread. A couple observations. Our water must have come straight from the tap. It tasted bad. I ended up ordering a Diet Pepsi since I just couldn’t drink the water. My wife and I also ended up ordering some Greek wine to really immerse ourselves in the experience. Also, the bread included a white and wheat bread. The wheat bread just wasn’t as fresh as the white bread (but it wasn’t stale). The saving grace was my order of lamb chops, which I ordered cooked to medium. While a couple were cooked to medium well, no complaints there. The dish came with 5! lamb chops. I could barely eat it all. My wife was not a huge fan of the chicken shish kebabs, which we both expected to be on skewers. It arrived laid out on a plate. All in all, our experience was good. My lamb chops were great and we left stuffed. With that said, we’ll likely check out a different restaurant next time we visit.

An interesting thing about Greek food in the USA: it's a bit different from food in Greece. That's doesn't mean American Greek food is bad. It's quite good; just not the same. The first difference is the "Greek" salad. When you get one of these in the USA, it has lettuce, tomatoes, onions, Greek dressing, etc... But in Greece, there is NO LETTUCE, no "Greek" dressing (instead, it's olive oil), and the feta cheese is a thick square slice on top. Some Greek restaurants in the USA have the authentic Greek salad; don't ask for a Greek salad, ask for a horiatiki. Another difference are the gyros. In the USA, the default gyro is beef, lamb, or a beef/lamb mixture, cooked on a vertical rotisserie (called a spit—that's actually why they call it "gyro"). So if you go to a Greek restaurant, and their "gyro" meat doesn't come from a spit, then it's not a gyro. In Greece, the default gyro is pork or chicken. In fact, when I was in Athens and Crete, I never saw a place serving the beef/lamb gyro as they do in the USA. Every gyro I had in Greece was pork. You'll have a hard time finding a Greek restaurant in the USA that has authentic pork gyros. There is ONE restaurant on the Sponge Docks that has pork gyros, and this ain't it. And that's the Greek restaurant in which I usually dine when I visit the Sponge Docks. I found another place that has pork gyros on the menu. However, the pork was not cooked on a spit. So it wasn't really gyro. It was just grilled pork. I would suggest to the owners here to add authentic pork gyros to your menu.
