"In a fairly exclusive sheltered setting on the slopes overlooking the Rhine near Wiesbaden, this Greek restaurant offers a surprisingly wide selection of dishes based on Cretan and mainland Greek ingredients. The setting is majestic, the service friendly and diligent. However, a minus point for...the way the food is served, as the supposedly hot dishes are somewhat lukewarm when they arrive at the table. Why? Simply because the tables are arranged in the open air in front of the main building, and even in the mildest weather (over 24 degrees on the July evening of our visit), the food quickly becomes cool. A niggle, perhaps, but that’s the way it was with my skewered lamb served with potato slices and spinach. Avoid the sliced potatoes; they appear non-too fresh. A gratin would make a huge improvement. Hence the deduction of one star. Prices here are correct. You may need to book a table as the restaurant quickly fills up in the evening from 7 p.m. onwards. Select your preferred dish from a wide variety of first courses, including excellent whitebait; an olive based antipasti dish with Greek ingredients, or a main dish only, including fish (this far from the coast and grilled rack of lamb, or even a vegetarian dish if this is to your taste. Try the very good Greek red wine and top it all off with a glass or two of ouzo. If the day has been hot, then enjoy the experience of eating outdoors."
