Stavros Tavern

I have been to this restaurant several times over the last five years or so; always only going back because of a group decision. It is always the same. They cannot cook calamari properly; very strange for a Greek restaurant. The fish was beautiful, but only a tiny amount was provided. The service is always very ordinary. Only the owner said a few words to us. Most of the staff seem inexperienced or too quiet. There was zero conversation; even when placing the food on the table. The price for the banquet they provided was a bit expensive considering the very small amount of food provided; $500 for eight people is not a lot if there is a reasonable amount of food provided, or if it is of a reasonable standard. They also closed the kitchen without telling us. On a positive note, they did not charge for corkage. When we asked for the dessert menu, they started to talk us through it, when we discovered that we could not have any of it, because the kitchen had been closed 20 minutes earlier. They started packing up the place well before 10 pm, so we felt like we were being ushered out. The group had a great night because of the company, but I will never return; even if a group wants to go there.

Visited this restaurant on a Scoopon 13/07/2013. The meat was tender & tasty however serving sizes were extremely inadequate.Thinking its because of the Scoopon deal we ordered another platter & the same size was provided. Lamb & chicken on the plate would be an average serving size you would get in a kebab however the price for each serving was $25-$26 absolutely outrageous! Therefore the plate (they say platter) was $51! We didnt even get a salad which was part of the deal however if assuming the shredded lettuce or rocket or sprinkled onion over the meat was a traditional salad then thats pathetic. Definately would not recommend this restaurant unless you eat like a bird and have a fat wallet.

The service and location is A1. All you jokers with the negative reviews have no idea. If it was that bad it wouldn't be in business for over 30 years. Go back to eating your fish and chips with your newspaper wrappers. You clowns didn't know what food was until we came in!!!! Regards, Prince of the Balkans

What a disgrace! We booked a work function for 30 people and some could not make it. We were charged at the end of the evening for 30 with the owner claiming he had staffed for 30 The service was slow and poor and the food basic This a tired business with a tired and arrogant owner Do NOT book your Christmas event with these people
