"The tapas were great although a few of our choices were unavailable. The service however was very poor. Perhaps short staffed but it would have been nice to have seen a smile! When I complained about the wait to pay I was told she was serving other customers. She then put an incorrect amount on one card and had to wait for the manager but didn't know where they were. Such a shame as the service hadn’t been an issue in the past."

"Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and offered a spot on their lovely outside terrace, which was perfect given the warm evening. Our waiter was prompt and took our drink orders right away, ensuring they arrived in no time. With impressive knowledge of the menu, he quickly provided us with his recommendations. We chose the Meat mezze for two, and the food was truly exceptional. From the selection of pita and dips to the beef stifado and moussaka, each course was even better than the last. For dessert, we indulged in traditional baklava and enjoyed a Greek coffee, which was the perfect finale. Overall, our experience at Taverna was fantastic, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. It's a must-visit place when you find yourself in Harrogate!"

"After reading some reviews, we decided to try this restaurant for an evening meal. We ordered a selection of mezze dishes to share. The food looked appealing, but the portions were quite small, and the flavors were lacking. Everything tasted very bland, and it would have been nice to have salt and pepper available at the table. The octopus was tough and not enjoyable. We ordered eight dishes to share among three of us and still left feeling hungry. We spent £150 for three people but didn't leave very satisfied. The space is beautiful and has potential, but they really need to improve their food."

"impresses with their eating, great quality of food, many vegetarian decisions. the staff was very friendly and accommodating. the menu is good for vegetarian. id recommend her salate, which was very well prepared. also their soulva pits are very full. the Sharing tablets are also very good, not huge portions, but a good teaser for taste buds. the hotel is located in a light walking distance from aldgate or liverpool station. they have both external and internal seats. I would be happy to visit her again."

"Food was decent as usual) but the service left a lot to be desired. The wrong food was brought out on one occasion and then added to the bill even though no one had ordered it). One item was unavailable which meant two of our party had to reorder. Another item a very simple one) the trilogy was brought out after everyone else had been served. We then had to send the bill back three times as it was incorrect. Our waiters/waitresses were all very apologetic but it was overall a poor dining experience that spoilt a welcome lunch for a new member of our team. We have visited The Life Goddess a number of times for team lunches and never a had problem previously. Sadly, I don 't think we 'll be coming back in a hurry which is a real shame :"

"Everything from food to wine to staff to the surroundings were brilliant, it looked like restaurants we've visited in Greece. The staff were funny and entertaining in an understated way and the food was outstanding! The flavours were amazing in all the dishes. I visited with my family and we all agreed that the meal was fabulous. I particularly liked that it was tapas because we could try each others dishes. I would thoroughly recommend Halloumi"

"This is not a glamorous restaurant it is a small, family run affair, a bit too brightly lit and in need of a few decorative flourishes, but the reviews are so good because despite the less than perfect surrounding the food is genuinely outstanding....I have eaten a lot of Greek food in Athens and the Islands, have many Greek friends and have visited the country over times. This food is exactly like what I have eaten there and in my friends homes. Tasty, rich without being overbearing, comforting, not greasy and totally fresh: and perfectly cooked. It's also reasonably priced. In my opinion it is much better than many way more expensive and celebrated Greek restaurants that serve greasy and tasteless Greek specialities I took my partner and our two kids and they all loved it. We had perfect deep fried calamari that is possibly the best I've ever had thick rings, fresh and tasty, just the right amount of light batter not those stringy thin frozen things sold in most places; spanakopita (spinach and feta fried pies) that were the perfect consistency and ratio of cheese to spinach; taramasalata that was not too creamy (but perhaps could have had a bit more lemon) and then the mains! A delicious chicken souvlaki and whole seabass, both grilled perfectly plainly fresh as can be and delicately seasoned; and a vegetarian Moussaka that was so authentic it took me right back to Greece, again, avoiding the over-greasy bland offerings of so many Greek places light, fluffy and gorgeous. All in all the meal was excellent I took what we didn't eat home and we had a second dinner tonight and it was just as good second time. I highly recommend this restaurant and have only not given it stars because, quite easily, they could make some significant improvements to the interior (dim the lighting for one) and possibly improve the wine list a little. But for Greek food I now know where I am going, everytime. I should point out that this is the first time I've been moved to write a review.."

"This was our first visit to this restaurant and we were impressed by the friendly and attentive staff. The atmosphere was airy, bright, and nicely decorated with Greek decor. As newcomers to Greek cuisine, we received helpful suggestions from the menu and decided on the chicken gyros, sweet potatoes and halloumi burger, and a side of mixed vegetables in a delicious tomato sauce. Our total bill came to £36.50, which included two small glasses of wine. We were very pleased with everything and left feeling happy."

"The most delicious meal I've had for a really long time. Booked this last minute slightly on a whim because not our usual cuisine. The chicken souvlakia was absolutely unreal. The chicken was thick, incredibly moist and the flavour was absolutely delicious. We had a mese mix of smaller plates, about 5 or 6 and that was perfect for 2 people. The pita breads were warm and the dips were so tasty. We also had chicken wings which had so much flavour and crispy just in the right places. The pudding was a malt chocolate slice and again, delicious. This was slightly on the pricier side, but for me, absolutely worth it. Whilst the dishes were very simple, the attention to detail and the amount of flavour was so fleshing.The interior was full of love and attention, with pretty plants and artifical vines on the beams. The host was very friendly and the overall experience was just so nice. Highly recommend."

"The positives. I was well greeted to take up my reservation and placed at a table for 2. Menu was varied . Restaurant clean. Lovely live music. Negatives. Restaurant was quiet with only 1 other table occupied. To our surprise, after placing our food order we were asked to move for a large booking, even though there were other areas that could be used. Turned out the large booking was for 8 who had just booked and could have been positioned without interfering with me. Secondly, our drinks order did not arrive promptly and when chased were told that they were waiting to give is with our main course! The final big issue here was they had the cheek to slip 2 extra drinks on to our bill. Would I go back or recommend the restaurant, no way Jose."

"Despite eating out regularly, I am very selective about where I dine. I take the time to research and ask friends for recommendations to ensure a satisfactory experience. While I am familiar with dining options in Glasgow, I find Edinburgh to be more challenging with its diverse offerings. I typically prefer to dine near Haymarket or Waverley, but struggle to find suitable options in the area. Although I enjoy dining in Leith, the distance can be a hindrance. For my recent visit to Edinburgh, I sought recommendations from locals and was pleased with the suggestion I received."
