Location review insights for New York, United States, Restaurants

A Saffron Thread on Chambers Street is a complete rip-off. The prices are outrageous for the microscopic portions they serve — it’s insulting, especially when people are already struggling to make ends meet. This isn’t fine dining, it’s daylight robbery with a side of saffron. How do you charge luxury prices for food that barely covers half a plate? The portions are laughable, and the flavor doesn’t come close to justifying the bill. It feels like they’re banking on tourists or people too polite to call it what it is — a scam in plain sight. To make it worse, the staff barely understand English, so trying to ask a question or clarify anything turns into a frustrating guessing game. At these prices, communication should not be a struggle. Bottom line: this place preys on location, not quality. Skip it. There’s nothing special here except the size of the bill.

A bit of a letdown for brunch — the atmosphere was beyond chaotic, the service abrupt, and the food average. I ordered the smoked salmon plate which felt overpriced for the portion size and stale bread. The ricotta lemon pancakes were also a pass. Glad to see their business is bustling but probably won’t be back!

A lovely spot on the water for great happy hour and snacks deals outdoors in the sunshine. My brother got married here. The food was quite good, as I recall. When it's too cool for the patio (or if it is inundated with bees, as it was when I came here last. Only reason for deduction on atmosphere), the bar has full windows looking out at the water. A solid place I had almost forgotten, but grateful to have found again.

1. Built in 1924 on the waterfront of Mumbai, one can feel a vibe once you are there. It is a symbol of Mumbai enduring spirit and cosmopolitan character. 2. It is 85 feet (26 meters) tall with a central dome that is 50 feet (15 meters) in diameter. 3. It is must for anyone who is visiting Mumbai. One should go in evening to enjoy both the sunset and 2 different view of Taj and Gateway of India. 4. You can enjoy street food and visit elephant caves by streamer. 5. Parking can be a challenge and they charge a hefty amount for parking.

2separate kitchen s service one area food does not arrive together only order drinks french fries are greasey

A bit of a mixed bag here at the Mythos, not convinced with the 4 star plus rating, a 4 star hotel maybe but definitely only 3 star services - but I’ll start with the positives! 5 stars for the hotel staff - most are very helpful, kind and customer focused (with the exception of the Zoe restaurant where they avoided eye contact at all times!) There’s clearly nowhere near enough people to meet the demand at the Zoe. I actually felt sorry for them but they were really quite rude and very ignorant, quite different from the rest of the team. 5 stars for the cleaning staff - what a lovely bunch. Always said hello and our room was spotless every day. Special mention to Poppy, she’s an absolute gem, please take good care of her! 5 stars for the staff at the Olea Restaurant, super fast service, very attentive and the food was lush. There are lots of uninvited guests here tho… cats, mosquitos and wasps, annoying but didn’t take away from the food and service but if you don’t like eating with extra guests, you may want to think twice as there are loads of them! 5 star for the reception team - always on hand to help and very polite and welcoming. Bit of a wait when we arrived, usual queuing to sort rooms, cases, passports etc but not horrendous. Room wasn’t ready tho so if you’ve got an early flight, pop your essentials in your hand luggage. 4 stars for the hotel, beautiful place with the most amazing sea views (would definitely recommend you pay extra). It’s a huge complex though and our room was so very far away from the main restaurant. Lots of very steep slopes to navigate too - although they do have these buggy type things to ferry you about - if you’re lucky enough to catch one. Otherwise, a great workout and good exercise! It’s definitely more for the older clientele too, I’m +50 and felt positively young here! 3 stars for the all-inclusive - cheapest beer and wine possible and all the cocktails tasted the same! Ordered a couple of different ones but think they throw Ouzo In them all as even my Mojito tasted of aniseed! Ended up paying for our beers, wine and cocktails from the main menu in the end and gave up on the freebies (well they’re not actually free as we paid for them in the price of the holiday!). 3 stars for the village - I purposely booked a quiet location but seriously, there’s nothing here. It’s quiet and then some. Only one shop and a few cafe/tavernas but again, be prepared to walk as there’s no buses and taxis are very hit and miss. Being Greece, there’s no pavements when you step out on to the main road and constant traffic - take care if you’re elderly or need a wheelchair/scooter - walking around the village is not for the feint-hearted! Would recommend the travel place just down the road (Messonghi Travel). We had a couple of trips out and they were excellent. Highly recommend the boat trips, really well organised and went to some lush places (Parga and The Blue Lagoon). Just not enough time to visit as spent most of the trip on the boat journey (worth it though and good VFM). Pop into Messonghi if you get chance too, more happening here and a lovely stretch of sandy beach. The beach here in Boukari is stone, pebbles and seaweed but there are beds dotted about and the sea is amazing. Clean, warm and shallow - spent most of our days on the beach and in the lush waters. Loved the sea but missed the sand - make sure you have aqua shoes and there are a LOT of stones to navigate but again, worth it for the sea and beautiful clear water. 3 stars for the entertainment - had a couple of great nights. The Greek music with guitar and violinist was superb, really authentic. Very confusing where the entertainment was being held too, as it changed daily! They do have an App so you can see what’s what, but changing venues daily wasn’t ideal and if the entertainment is up on the roof (Sky Bar) be prepared for a long wait to get a drink/seat, it’s mad busy. 2 stars for the Zoe (main) restaurant. Be prepared to have finished your meal before you get a drink. Ended up helping myself to water a couple of nights as the staff literally walk past you, despite every attempt to get their attention. The food was OK but we gave up on breakfast (too far to walk for a bit of brekkie!) and lunch and ate lunch at the Olea instead. Limited choice at the Olea (not buffet style) but really nice food and a few Greek specialties and super-fast, excellent service! All in all, if you love the hotel life and are happy to spend your holiday by the pool and around a hotel complex, then this is the perfect place for you. If you like to get out and about more, maybe not! Lovely place but I wouldn’t return.

Service were excellent. My PR was my steak sandwich was very salty.I would visit again but would request no seasoning to be added while cooking. We had a party of 8 everyone felt the food was to salty (a few people in our party suffers with hypertension 😔) also parking was a problem. Parking was a problem also

Review rating: 3.0

Covered a lot of ground and the guide was both knowledgeable and friendly. Tour would have been better if the guide was not also the driver and having to look for parking spots. Unfortunately, the guide was late arriving and also finished early.
