Spitiko - Spitiko

Food tasted weird, low quality ingredients. The meat was dry and tasteless. Very dissapointed for quite expensive food.

Bad experience: Undercooked food (presumably microwaved) and extremely greasy. Not at all what we hoped for and waiter made no attempt to exchange the meal... Just a muted apology after paying. German couple behind us described the mussels as 'the worst he has ever tasted'. Hard to disagree I'm afraid.

A friendly welcome, great kitchen, great portions and all generic Greek dishes are present. Draught beer is ice cold and poured in a frozen glass. Sitting upstairs, with a view over the harbour is just fantastic. The only thing that should be changed are the noisy and squeecky fans downstairs. Everybody needs moving air in the summer, but just a little drop of oil can make such a great difference.

Tasty food, good service, and nice port view.

After a week on Zakynthos and eating at 9 different restaurants around Keri this was the only one that disappointed. The meat was dry, the veggies way too salt. After telling the waiter, his only response and solution was we "we were the first ones ever telling him this".

Avoid the seafood risotto and kleftiko (Maybe the whole restaurant?). Perhaps it was bad luck, but was the worst food we had on the island after a full week of eating out at different places. We regretted not checking the reviews before... The meat was hard and dry. The vegs had way too much salt. The seafood risotto (not a cheap dish) just did not taste good. After a few bites to try it we did not feel like going on. The kids had chicken nuggets and those were probably the only tasty items on our table... When the waiter came asking how we liked the food, we were honest. He apologized but said we were the first to complain and did not offer any compensation/solution. As it was getting quite late and we came with kids, we decided to eat what was doable and leave. The vegs as mentioned had too much salt, but were otherwise ok. We left all the meat and about all of the risotto. When our unfinished plates were cleared away, a young couple walked towards us to check the menu and looked at us for a recommendation. My advice was: Don't. The waiter got furious and kept telling us in quite an agressive way we were out of line. (He blamed us for eating the food?!?! While we ate about 5 spoons of the risotto and 1 bite of the meat? We were there with young kids...his raised voice was really unpleasant.) Perhaps we should not have said anything to that couple, but we would have preferred to avoid this place ourselves... They made us pay the full amount by the way.

Very friendly and helpful service, but the food wasn't too good. The Seabass was a bit raw in the centre so didn't have much edible fish plus the whole meal was pretty greasy/oily and the Moussaka was very bland and unseasoned. However the Garlic bread was spot on.

To stand out in a crowd can be a daunting task but nevertheless a nesessity if you are a taverna on the harbour boulevard of keri such as spitiko is. I am sorry to say that have failed to do so. I had to remind the waiter about my beer order, got a country sausage from grill where i ordered a spetsovai, greek coffee sketto instead of the ordered greek coffee metriou. Too much errors for a nice place at a great location. Chicken lemon was superb though.
