Overall Rating

(Good)

"There was a bit of a problem getting the table ready for our party. Our reservations were for 8 and we didn't get seated until 8:30. The wait service was pretty bad our server was taking care of too many large parties and we didn't get great service. overall it was a lot of fun, great ambiance and I would go back again."

"Most of the food was great, but I ordered the stuffed egg plant dish, and I could not even eat it. It was not very good at all! The potatoes and green beans were great though. I tasted my families dishes and they were all pretty good."

Review 9 for Taverna Plaka

Overall Rating

(Good)

"The food was wonderful, and the atmosphere was tons of fun. The service was not great at all. It was busy in the restaurant, but I saw my server standing around a lot. And I also think it was very disappointing that either EVERYONE at the table had to do the chef's dinner or no one could order it. All in all, I would not suggest anyone go there with a large party."

"Has a difficult time getting our server initially over to the table, but once he got there, he did a great job. Food was great and the atmosphere evokes a smile as soon as you walk in the door (late night weekend). Our group of nine had a great time."
