My friend saw this restaurant and was impressed by the reviews written about it. So we went for lunch, and Kyrios was very helpful and accommodating with questions about the menu. The ala carte dishes were ample and well presented. We had an enjoyable time and felt very welcome. Sas efcharisto ( thank you).

To begin with the food was less than mediocre. For the price we paid We could have hired a personal chef to cook for 8 people. We had reserved and stated it's a special occasion. When we arrived they had no idea of the reservation made us wait then squeezed us in downstairs like sardines where the ambience is so so bad I couldn't describe it. People from other tables were screaming, you couldn't hear yourself think. Just awful. Will not be back.

The food was great, but the heaters stopped working mid-meal, so it was quite cold sitting in the enclosed area. The restaurant was also out of quite a few items that we intended to order, which was disappointing.
Alexander The Great Restaurant • Owner
Thank you for your feedback and for bringing these concerns to our attention. While we're glad you enjoyed the food, we're sorry to hear about the issues with the heaters and unavailable items during your visit. This isn’t the experience we aim to provide, and we’ll be looking into these matters to improve. We hope to welcome you back in the future for an even better dining experience.

The food was quite salty!! When I arrived, my reservation wasn't on the printed list at the restaurant—they hadn't printed the full list. As a result, the waiter wasn't very friendly with us at first. In typical Greek fashion, though, the service started off poorly but ended with everyone being quite friendly (by the way, I am Greek).
Alexander The Great Restaurant • Owner
Thank you for your understanding, and we’re glad the service improved during your visit. We apologize for the initial oversight with your reservation, and we appreciate your feedback. We hope to welcome you back soon!

Food is pretty good, but not great. It’s very reasonable price wise. Very busy. Tables are very cramps. It’s a good basic Greek.

The food was the only good thing about this restaurant. Well done to their chef. Service was mediocre, never seen anything like it. We had to ask for napkins, had to ask for our table to be cleaned up; even though our plates were empty for a good 15 min no one was bothered to even come close to clearing our table, let alone asking if we wanted anything else. Desert menu wasn’t brought to us either. Utterly disappointing.
Alexander The Great Restaurant • Owner
We’re very sorry to hear that your experience with the service did not meet your expectations. This is not the standard we aim for, and we will address the issues you raised with our team. We do hope you might give us another chance in the future to provide a better experience.

Due to the larger number of guests, the service suffered a bit. One dish was missing in menu after ordering, the second dish was forgotten to bring. Reasonable price, which corresponds to the quality
Alexander The Great Restaurant • Owner
Thank you for your feedback. We apologise for the oversight with your order, especially during a busy time. We appreciate your understanding and will work to ensure better service in the future. We hope to welcome you back again!
