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.

We have been eating every year at Eros as part of a traditional pre-Clipsal lunch. We spent many enjoyable afternoons with both the service and food very good. This year it all changed and we won't be back. The wait staff were new and we had to take our own orders. She was totally flustered and appeared to have no training or support for a (I suspect) extremely busy time.

A couple of our mains did not arrive with the others and it was obvious they had been completely missed (the restaurant wasn't that busy to warrant such a mistake), then we were told by the senior staff to be quiet as she was on the phone and could not hear. Perhaps, if they had turned down the Greek music it may have helped.

At that point we left, never been so disappointed with what was a yearly visit to an old friend. Our next $1000 lunch time can be the benefit of one of your competitors.

For all the fabulous greek restaurants in Adelaide (infact having not visited Nostos in Leichhardt, Sydney yet) this is by far the best restaurant in Rundle Street.

I cannot ever go to this place without their Tzatziki and Skordalia to start. The Skordalia is the best I've ever had and I've tried my best to come home and replicate it. The setting is easy-going and there's never much chance to get an outside seat.

The trouble is with their dips is that I found myself asking for more pita bread and was filling up. Same room for their meatballs, gyros or calamari. The wine list won't kill your wallet and you will leave feeling full to the brim.
