Noise review insights for New York, United States, Restaurants

3 plates of dozen oysters (happy hours 1.25 local & 2.25 canadian ) says it all. Mushroom fried rice is good so as the yuzu shrimp. Can skip the rice paper quesadilla and cod cakes. I would love to like this place but it gets so loud ~ ~ ~ !

Absolutely terrible food and worse service. Typical hotel restaurant it’s loud and kids running around as there was a hockey tournament in the building. The scallops n risotto was cold and rice not cooked, my wife had the pasta and it was just ok. The waitress Carmen was rude and put out by simple requests. We’ll never go back.

Affordable place, although the quality of food is not that high and the flavors aren’t that strong. The chai especially tasted like watered down milk, I could barely detect a hint of any spices whatsoever. If you’re accustomed to very flavorful Indian food, I wouldn’t come here… the atmosphere was also a bit odd, it was dead silent in there with no music or anything for ambience.

"Are we at Per Se or are we at Applebee's?" This was the question on our minds as we ate dinner. Buyer beware - do not come to Per Se if you are expecting a refined and elegant dining experience. Per Se has no expected standards of attire and behavior being enforced confirmed by its own maitre d Alex Pimentel. This failure of the purported three Michelin star institution greatly reduced the quality and enjoyment of our experience and was far below what we have experienced in the past at Per Se or other three Michelin star restaurants. One table in our direct view had two very old men with two teenaged-looking girls. One girl was wearing sweatpants, a crop top, and flip flops. The other girl was wearing a sweatshirt and sneakers. One of the old men had a little black puppy with him and Per Se allowed the puppy to run around the floor of the dining room throughout the dinner. Another table next to us was obnoxiously loud throughout the evening, taking over the space and taking away from everyone else's enjoyment. It was clear from the circus around us that Per Se has no standards for guest attire or behavior and does not care about guest experience at all. When I wrote to the restaurant after our dinner to share our feedback, the maitre d Alex Pimentel asked me to call him to talk. After playing phone tag a couple times, we were finally able to connect. Alex began the phone conversation by flippantly stating "I understand you had a problem with some guests who weren't dressed as nicely as you would have liked?" Wow. This is the guy they put in charge of guest relations? What a great attitude for the job. Alex ended up wasting 20 minutes of my time by making up excuses for every single aspect of our underwhelming dining experience. According to Alex: 1) Per Se does not have a dress code for women, only for men. Women can apparently dine in a string bikini and flip flops. Alex says: "Per Se gets people from all walks of life and unfortunately we really only enforce a dress code for men." 2) Alex said the old men were hotel guests and that they were dining with their "nieces or daughters." I told him that we could not care less where the old men were lodging or the nature of their relationship with the teenaged girls, but that the young women should at the very least not be wearing sweatpants, crop tops, flip flops, sweatshirts, and sneakers. Alex once again reiterated that there is no dress code for women. 3) Alex could not come up with an excuse for the puppy running around. 4) Alex said that if we were disappointed at any point in the evening with our experience, the burden was on us to try to create the experience we want. Alex said we should have complained about the other guests (all seated within earshot) and we may have been reseated space permitting. So a three Michelin star restaurant is putting the onus on its guests to create a fine dining experience. Why would it be on guests to make sure Per Se enforces basic standards of attire and behavior of other guests? When Per Se allows a circus in its dining room, Per Se is not going after a three Michelin star experience. When the maitre d tells guests that it is actually their burden and responsibility to create a pleasant and enjoyable experience, there is something terribly wrong with the training and culture at Per Se. 5) Food: lobster was extremely chewy like bubblegum. The chicken was bland and a bit rubbery. Loved the crispy skin on the bass. Lamb was just lamb, but on the tougher side. The wagyu was unremarkable. Black truffle pasta was delicious with a generous shaving of truffles. 6) Service: star is for Maris who was fantastic and we appreciated her excellent service and professionalism. Maris seemed to be the only one we encountered at Per Se who was aware that the restaurant is supposed to provide a three Michelin star experience. The wine pairing was $350 and the sommelier was perfunctory and inattentive. Alex concluded our phone conversation with an underwhelming, "well in the future please reach out to me to coordinate your next visit to Per Se." He didn't even offer a genuine apology without excuses or any gesture of good will from the restaurant. Will we be coming back to Per Se after this experience and Alex's response to our feedback? As Randy Jackson once eloquently stated, "Yeah that's gonna be a no from me, dawg."

$220 for 2 burgers, a salad of lettuce and bread and a plate of pasta and 4 watered beers. Very loud volume. Tourist scam

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.

Very cozy and cut restaurant a little bit loud Recommendation crab curry was so delicious and good server

Review rating: 5.0

This place was TERRIBLE! Extremely loud with the different singers walking from table to table begging for money. We had not been seated for 5 minutes before (1) singer started walking around with the tip bucket. The food is way overpriced, with (1) hamburger costing $26.75. They threw confetti from the top floor, which landed in our drinks and food. It was also dirty inside, and the food tasted terrible and cold! Way overpriced, Extremely Loud, Terrible Food! NOT worth the price! My kids could not wait to leave!
