Santorini — Restaurant in Wildwood

Wow! I was absolutely blown away by our dining experience at Santorini last night! It was by far one of the best meals I've had in a long time!

We are not from the area, and my boyfriend noticed the restaurant as we were driving by en route to our hotel. I absolutely adore Greece/Greek cuisine and have been to Santorini a couple of times...so I can be a tough critic!

We were actually at a nearby tavern for an event and decided to make a late reservation for 9:45pm (Thursday night). Upon arrival, the restaurant was surprisingly not crowded, but I was very grateful that they still seated us! Our server was very kind and attentive - I sadly do not remember his name but we chatted for a moment and he is from Albania.

The decor was beautiful and incredibly authentic! I kept saying how much it felt as though we were actually in Santorini!

My boyfriend had a watermelon martini that he loved and I had a lovely sparkling wine (can't remember which one at the moment). For our meal, we started with the octopus appetizer and the Greek salad. I'm a huge octopus lover and order it almost every time I see it on a menu - I want to highlight this as an absolute MUST when dining at Santorini. It was truly one of the best octopus dishes we have EVER had the pleasure of savoring. For our main course, we shared the crab ravioli which was also incredible! I could have kept eating it.

Overall, their menu has so many wonderful items - I wish I could have tried them all! I guess it simply means we will have to come back for more, hopefully sooner than later! If you want a fabulous dining experience coupled with a little "trip" to Santorini, I could not recommend a better restaurant...

We were there this past Saturday. We waited a bit before be b se. We felt rushed- the waiter asked if we were ready to order and we had not decided yet, it had been maybe 5 minutes so we asked if we could order the appetizer while we were deciding on dinner and we were told we couldn’t, that the kitchen didn’t work that way. We explained that we did not want to be rushed. So we ordered everything including salads and again mentioned that we did not want everything coming out at the same time. Well the salad and appetizer came out at the same time. We were at a small table so we had to just cut the fried barratta and put it on our salad plate so they could take the other plate. We waited a bit for our meals which was ok, it gave us time to digest our salad and appetizer. I ordered the filet rare which is how I like it and if they could sear the outside. I mentioned that at least 3 times and he said they would as he walked away. The filet was not hot at all on the outside but cooked how I asked. It was tough to cut even with a steak knife. It did not have a colossal shrimp on top, it was a cocktail shrimp and also was not hot. Asparagus was served with the steak but oddly placed in a square, 4 spears, with the filet in the middle. We didn’t order dessert, which we typically do order one and share . We opted to go to the bar and have an after dinner drink which was delicious. The bar tender/waiter was very nice and made it with the correct ingredients. I have been to Santorini with friends August of last year and it was fabulous . Not sure what changed but not sure we...

We were really excited to try Santorini in Wildwood. This was not just one of our rare date nights but we were celebrating our anniversary, and I had even included that note in our reservation when asked why we were dining. We mentioned we had honeymooned in Santorini, Greece, so we were genuinely looking forward to trying this place. Unfortunately, what we got was incredibly disappointing. After being seated, our waitress brought water and returned to take our full order, drinks, appetizers, and entrees, all at once. That ended up being the only real interaction we had with her. She came to check on our appetizers after we had already finished them, and didn’t check in again until after our entrees were completely done. We sat with empty water and drink glasses at the edge of the table for most of the meal, and watched her walk by us 10–15 times, often making eye contact and still never stopping. We had originally planned to stay for dessert, but the service was so slow and inattentive that we just wanted to leave. To top it off, the food was underwhelming. The risotto was undercooked, and the $14 watermelon appetizer came with just four tiny slices, a disappointing portion and poor value. We’re usually the kind of guests who order multiple drinks, apps, entrées, and dessert, and we tip generously. But this was the first time we truly couldn’t justify it. Between the lack of attention to our table, the disregard for the occasion we noted, and the subpar food, we left feeling frustrated and let down. we won’t...
