| - This is a review based on a bridal shower private event that I assisted with hosting. Party of approximately 30.
Service: Excellent. The wait staff was very attentive, patient, and helpful. With 30 guests, I was surprised that it went so smoothly. We were also allowed to bring our own desserts and they were kind enough to serve it to us, help set up our cake table, and provide cutlery and plates. They even collected pens for us because we had forgotten to bring our own for our shower games!
Food: Large portions, cooked very well. The guest of honour had chosen the first package from the private function menu ($29 per person, but it turned out toe be slightly less as we brought our own dessert). At first, they served bread, hummus, and chickpea and bean salad for everyone to share (several at each table). For an appetizer, we had a choice between mixed greens Greek salad or Caesar salad, and for main course, we had the option of chicken breast or salmon. I ordered the Greek salad which came with plump and delicious Kalamata olives, and the salmon with a white wine cream sauce and grilled vegetables. The salmon was excellent. I find that salmon and chicken are often very easily overcooked at restaurants. I tried some of my friend's chicken and it was moist, although slightly salty, possibly from brining...? The salmon was moist and not dry at all. They provided huge portions, double what I usually cook for myself at home.
Atmosphere: We were in the first private function room to the left of the restaurant. There were apparently two other events occurring at the same time. What was great about this place is that even though there were several events occurring at the same time and our private area didn't have a door, you couldn't tell that there were other parties happening because the rooms were in separate areas of the restaurant.
I would highly recommend Santorini Grill for a private event. I also would definitely love to come back here to try the regular menu in their dining area.
