First and last time at Faros. The restaurant had lost our reservation despite the fact that someone from the restaurant had called us to confirm it 2 days before. They found us a spot anyway. No smiles. Service was expedited and not really attentive. Food was decent but nothing more. There was no verification of vaccination passports and no distancing at all. The restaurant was packed. Many kitchen workers worked without masks. There is no need to pay that kind of money for that type of service. All in all, an evening to forget

The staff was amazing, prices were reasonable, and the nachos were tasty

We arrived for our 6:30 reservation. The two of us were shoved in a back corner against the wall. The restaurant was extremely crowded, in spite of Covid times. Only one menu, which was soiled, was given to us. The Greek salad was passable, the grilled octopus ($30.) appetizer was bland and rubbery. Approximately 45 minutes later, our main meal arrived, Mediterranean Sea bass was basically tasteless. The waiter was sincerely apologetic for the delay. This restaurant seems to be a place to be seen, not for the quality of the food. The best part of our experience was that our car was waiting for us as soon as we stepped out.

I don't recall the last time I was treated that badly for a meal I paid 500$ for. In fact. I don't recall being treated that badly even at a McDonald's. They didn't even check us for our Vaccine passports! Or disinfect our hands with Purell at the door. Firstly, they sat our large party at a table with half the capacity to cater us. They did nothing to make us feel comfortable, and yet they expected us come again another time in order to receive better service, despite having reservations and our request to change our minuscule spots. I ate my dinner sitting at the table sideways, with one hand to access the table. My 300$ Hugo Boss blouse was utterly ruined. Secondly, the server would throw the plates onto our table. I don't understand if we had offended him, though he certainly did offend us. I'm not paying for that travesty again. All that said, the main dishes were more than edible. Their vegetables were another story though. Bland, clearly fresh out of the hot water, and thrown on a plate with said hot water.

We went to this restaurant after a few years .the food was over priced service was inadequate .they sat four people on a table of two ,although we had réservation .food was served by an idiot who had no skill for serving food .he practically threw the food on the table and left. I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't wait to finish the main course, we decided to go to another place to finish the drinks . I give 2 stars ? out of five .they do not deserve the money they charge. You want to have a good time ,go somewhere else.

Wow thanks to Google review for introducing me to this amazing restaurant, we had a wonderful experience. Food would melt water in your mouth. Everything was so fresh. After long time finally I had a lot of tasty fruits ?

Asked the waiter for a Greek beer, brought me a Coors Light lol, the fried eggplant was tasteless, spanakopita looked burnt on the bottom, was cold on the outside and boiling hot on the inside, freshly nuked of course! And the best part was the brown sliced toast bread we were given with olive oil and balsamic. Greek Salad was nice, thats about it

Excellent seafood. The sea bass is the best

Over-hyped, over priced, mediocre food. Would not go back.

The starters were good but the main was below average. It is also a little pricey. The cheapest fish is 32 $/ pound, the most expensive one is 40$/pound. Usually in other Greek restaurants, the grilled fish dish comes with rice and veggies, here you have to ask for rice. The grilled red snapper doesn’t taste good. It wasn’t scaled properly. So after grilling it, the skin doesn’t go crispy. It tastes like steamed fish. The flavouring is missing. The worst part was the rice. No TLC in veggie and rice. They taste like right from Costco frozen food.
