I don't understand the hype that surrounds this restaurant. We've been keen to try Eros restaurant (not the bar area) for a while after recommendations from a number of friends. But were very disappointed by the experience.

Starting on the service, for a restaurant that charges so much I would expect a higher calibre of staff. Staff were predominantly young school girls who didn't know the menu and also struggled to bring out the correct bill. However, to their credit, they did take things in their stride and were doing their best. This by itself is not detrimental but the food was also terrible.

Serving sizes were too small (given the price) and the dishes were done poorly. The white bait were over done (they were like hollow pieces of batter but somehow still not crisp) and the marinated lamb (serviced with pita bread, tzatziki and hommus) looked this crumbs of overcooked lamb (like someone went to a yiros shop and scrapped the bottom of the tray).

This is really a shame because that dish was presented well. It is a really great idea to allow diners to make mini yiros. The dessert platter was a real mistake. It took over twenty mins to prepare. This was surprising given all of the items on the menu should have been ready (this wasn't souffle). When it came out I could understand why it took so long. Everything was being defrosted. All the desserts were soggy including the Galataboureko.

I'm happy to be corrected. Perhaps they should be soggy. Perhaps the syrup that was poured over everything made them soggy (the desserts were so soggy though, they would have had to be sitting around in syrup for at 20 mins). That still doesn't mean they should be flavourless. The Galataboureko custard defintely lacked flavour. It was like a custard colour gelatinous chunk. The pieces were cut in uneven sizes (so presentation was appalling).

Finally, being on a main road, it probably isn't a good idea for them to leave water glasses on the table, especially not upside down. The glasses collected a lot of dust and sediment.

Beautiful location, perfect to take visiting friends and family. The food is always fresh and flavoursome. The seafood is cooked to perfection. Authentic desserts that pair well with the drink menu. Staff are always well informed and friendly.

Food was acceptable but not very good value for money as they try to sell you every thing except the kitchen sink. Better restaurants in the marina. Rude waiter got a .10c tip!

Went to The Greek for a Christmas lunch and very very disappointed! At $65 a head with 20+ of us, most of us had to get some junkfood on the way home!

During our main meals, there were no condiments served with our meats. We asked for the tomato sauce that was meant to come with our meatballs, the senior staff had "double check" the menu as she didn't seem to believe us that the sauce was missing. Then, they only brought one small serve! We then had to ask again to supply sauce for the other 5 main meal platters!

The food was nice, but one of each item (one slice of haloumi, one meatball, one lamb cutlet etc) is very expensive. We expected to have beverages inclusive or have Christmas decorations on the table for this amount!

When we finished lunch, spending over $2000 in total with food and wine, we were short a couple of dollars ($2-3). We were stopped and asked to finalise our bill! Not that I would ever expect to eat for free, but as we had spent so much money, I thought $2-3 dollars could have been waived.

I understand that Christmas is a busy time and yes, restaurants always amp up the price of regular meals. But this is just ridiculous! A place that once was "the place to be" for Greek food, has really changed my mind. Very disappointed that myself and everyone else here at our workplace won't be eating there again.
