"Dined here when they first opened and it was terrific. This last time things seemed to be off somewhat: pomegranate chicken was extremely dry, out of beer, only had half the advertised desserts, cappuccino machine wasn't working. However, the lamb shank was superb and the service was attentive. Hopefully they can get things back on track."

"On our 3rd visit to Santorini, we were let down compared to previous visits. We were celebrating a special occasion and left somewhat disappointed.The filet Kebab wasn't the usual high quality meat, and they ran out of ALL of our favorite desserts! Even though our server brought us a complimentary Tiramisu, it wasn't the same. Apparently they underestimated the crowd they'd have that night for graduation season. We'll return and hope our filet is tender & our favorite chocolate Bomba is waiting for us next time!"

"If you enjoy Greek food, this is a great place to experience it. The appetizer plate is ample and very tasty. My favorite is the trout, although you do have to watch for bones. We've been back many times. My husband enjoys the gyro platter. The servers are always friendly and attentive."

"We went to Santorini for Mother's Day and picked an excellent time for our reservation - 4:00 p.m. We beat the lunch rush and the upcoming dinner rush. The food was good although my husband wasn't thrilled with the Moussaka since the lamb was a bit indiscernible. I had the pomegranate chicken - the white meat was a little dry, but there was enough of the pomegranate sauce to make up for it. The combo appetizer was excellent and I especially loved the tabouli that came with the nice warm pita bread as well as the combo appetizer. We will definitely go back to Santorini - it was all in all an enjoyable experience, with the most excellent service you could ask for."

"We were a bit disappointed with the food. The Kabobs really didn't have much flavor and were dry (Combo chicken and filet mignon). The rack of lamb was four very small pieces and was cooked medium well (requested medium rare). The service was good and very genuine but the food wasn't worth the price."

"This was my third time at Santorini's and I was VERY disappointed in the food. My first two times were for lunch so maybe the dinner chef does things differently? The baked tomato was cold and almost tasted like a canned tomato. The rice was dry and cold with very little saffron on it. The koobideh was better than the side dishes but still not as good as previous visits. It was only luke warm and looked like it had some kind of sauce on the top of it, although the server insisted it did not. On the plus side, my Greek salad was excellent and my husband said his dessert (some kind of mango/white chocolate concoction) was very good. I'll go back again but probably only for lunch. If this was my first visit, it would have been my last."
