| - My girlfriend wanted to indulge in some Greek for her birthday celebrations, and thought Santorini was the perfect spot. Eight of us piled into the quaint restaurant, which was cutely covered in Greek décor.
There were definitely a lot of options and being that our party had different tastes, everyone got to order something they were going to enjoy. I went with the saganaki to start (fried cheese is a must!), and the prawns & scallops as my main (served on rice palif with roasted potatoes and veggies). Other dishes that graced our table included the grilled sausage, seafood platters and skewers with a variety of different meats (chicken, lamb, and beef).
Considering our party size, our food still came out relatively quickly. They are definitely not shy on portion size here and even though we tried to eat as much as well could, I think most of us ended up having to take food home. Although my dish was a big heavy on the lemon flavouring, I still really liked it. The prawns were charred nicely from being grilled and pan fried scallops were crisp and juicy - perfection!
As always, you always make room for dessert even if you have to share! We ordered a few kreme karamele and tortes, and a few people had the drip coffees (very strong and served espresso style). The kreme was awesome - a light custard infused with intense caramel flavour, made me wish I had started with dessert!
Food was great, and we never felt like we were being rushed out even with our larger dining group. I'd recommend checking Santorini out if you're ever craving some Greek.
