we visited Yassas The Greek Way for a catch-up with a group of friends. We were placed at a table with a view toward the river and there was ample room for seating without being cramped as some places are. The wait staff did a good job on a reasonably busy day, the food was good (esp dips) and pricing moderate. Also the on-line booking system and confirmation messages make it easy to do and provide confidence our booking is locked in.

Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon here. Only downside is the bottomless drinks are by the carafe. Drinks were lovely but would be better to be able to choose a variety by the glass. Otherwise fantastic!

Extremely salty chicken gyro in my Tapsi. We went there on a Wednesday. The restaurant has pretty good reviews on internet, so we(wife and I) went there to celebrate a special day in our life. But the food really disappointed us.

Way too noisy and whilst it's a nice idea to have a live entertainer, it meant we simply could not have a decent conversation as couldn't hear anything!

Food was fantastic however a little disappointed that we had booked a table for a large group in advance and had to have the table split in two.

Horrible experience. Not greeted at the door. Drink service was so slow. Food was tasty but honestly so slow and just not enough. Would have been better to not get the brunch as it wasn't value for money. We had a non drinker on the table and options for them lacked variety. By the time the drink came you needed to order again as it took too long between them coming back which meant they drinks certainly was free flowing. Just a horrible and expensive day out. We won't be back. You also said took the 6th persons money and we got nothing for it. No extra drinks, no dessert.
