This review is based on my Santorini experience prior to a Yelp Event held at Santorini.
I was super excited to visit Santorini Greek Taverna as it has been bookmarked for months. I love Greek wine and Greek seasonings so I was looking forward to checking this place out.
Das Mann and I decided to hit up SGT before the Yelp Event was to kick off. We were hungry and wanted to sample some of the food and drinks ahead of time. STG was pretty empty upon arrival and we snagged some Rock-Star parking out front on the street. We sidled up to the bar and were promptly waited upon by a lovely bartendress. She made appropriate wine recommendations and were were very happy with the bottle of white she suggested. Happy Hour was still going on so we ordered the Gyro and Calamari. Both dishes were served quickly and I was surprised at the ample portions. I'm not a huge Gyro fan but I have to say the meat was tender, not chewy, and the seasoning was to die for. The calamari was not chewy but a bit lacking on flavor for my tastes. I did enjoy that some of the calamari were the portion with the legs. I prefer the crispy legs to the calamari rounds. Das Mann liked the food so much he ordered the Fried Eggplant and Zucchini chips. I'm not a huge fried food fan and I wasn't too sure about this selection. I was pleasantly surprised! The chips weren't too greasy and the flavor profile was spot on.
We enjoyed some baklava at the end of the evening; another huge portion and with a scoop of delicious pistachio ice cream. If I had one complaint it would be the coffee. It was clearly Folgers coffee by the smell and taste (I'm a snob). I ordered a Greek coffee and was disappointed by the clearness of the coffee and the flavor was all wrong. Santorini, fix your coffee and I'll bump you to 5 stars.
I would definitely recommend STG for your Greek food fix.
