Santorini Greek Taverna

Well, we were so curious to try the food (my husband lived in Greece for a summer and has never seen tyrokafteri on a menu in the States) we returned. Thankfully we were not disappointed!
Our server was friendly and attentive. Moreover, the food was fantastic! I probably wouldn’t return on a weekday for lunch and I’d be skeptical about the dinner rush but overall we would definitely return as the food was great & definitely authentic!

We just went there for dinner and were happy with the meal and blown away by the service! I forgot her name but her number was 0025! She was spectacular! We ripped her well and she deserved every penny.
The octopus appetizer was gobbled down by my son and the rest of the breads and such were quickly devoured. I did not like my fires and that is my ONLY complaint!
Thanks again to the service team!

Gyro plate was great! Spicy hummus was tasty. The yiouvetsi spanaki was cooked perfectly.

Went here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We walked in and there were only two other tables dinning in. The atmosphere inside was really pretty. We started with an appetizer. We got hummus. The hummus and the pita bread came in a really nice board and cup. The pita bread was really good and so was the hummus. Then i ordered the Prasini salad with added chicken and my partner ordered the greek salad with the added chicken. The Prasini salad was disappointing because it was basically shredded lettuce. I took back the order. The greek salad however was delicious. Overall food was okay but it is highly priced. The greek salad with added chicken came to $ 20.

The service is impeccable! Christos was quite attentive & informative. The food was plentiful and delicious. Specials were swordfish steak with lentils and were so good!

Really, really nice people. Stayed open a little longer on Greek Easter to let us enjoy their cuisine. And they did that before they found out we came from Wisconsin. (The latter got us an ouzo on the house. Thanks Cory — you rock!!!)
Food was authentic and absolutely outstanding. Lamb was fork tender and flavorful. Snapper was perfectly grilled and seasoned. Three dips and warm pita to start.
Great wine list with many retsinas. (Trust me, try one, with the food).
The green bean and greens sides were both unbelievable.
Our server, Cory, was so nice and helpful and made the whole experience a pleasure.
Lucky you, Cleveland. Can’t wait to come back with a group!!!

Amazing food and service! I should have taken a pic of our octopus and other plates but they were gone too fast. A true gem!

Went with 3 others after CIFF. Classy atmosphere, yet casual… very comfortable. Nice décor. And our server, Cori, was excellent. Very attentive, and was extrememly helpful when it came to wine and food suggestions. Would be a great place for a date or a group: family and friends.
There was a musician who sang and played a keyboard– such a nice addition to an already pleasant experience.
As for the food, the 3 dip appetizer was delicious. A good way to start the meal. Suggestion: mix the 3 together (hummus, eggplant, and spicy feta) for a happy bite.
The octopus was a little tough for my liking, but the others, whom I was with, really enjoyed it.
I ordered the mussels… The broth was light and I appreciated the scallions and tomatoes with each bite of mussel.
My companions orderd the lamb chop… medium rare… and neither left one bite to take home. I tasted the mashed parsnips that came with the lamb and could have eaten an entire plate as a meal.
I will definately be back!

My friends and I liked this place! There were many things interesting and unique, and purportedly Greek. It’s greek to me! IDK what Greek food is like. These foods are good! Get out there and try it. We went for happy hour and the prices were very good and we enjoyed ourselves. The place is pretty.

Just had lunch here — delicious! The tzatziki is fantastic and fresh. The biftek is incredible.

Meh, it’s alright.
The location where this restaurant sits is in the old Brgr9 location. It’s a pretty and fancy looking restaurant. There’s really no wait, and I usually don’t have a prob seating a group of people. Last time I went, we were able to get a table of 8-​however, no one else was eating in the restaurant that night at 8pm…
I’ve been here multiple times with friends– and have tried the lamb dish (overpriced and salty), and the gyro plate (I’ve had better gyros, and although the plate is gigantic, it’s just ok). The appetizers are pretty decent– with a small thumbs up to the octopus and the zucchini and eggplant chips. I thought their hummus and baba ghanoush was just okay tho– nothing great.
We also tried to use the check in offer, but our waiter wouldn’t let us. Stated that we either had to pay as a whole group (aka one bill), and use the check in offer, but couldn’t do it on separate bills, even though we all had Unilocal check ins on our phone. Puhleaaaaase. Really? Meh.
It’s alright. For downtown, there’s not many diverse options, so feel free to check it out-​but I thought it was very meh.

Just okay. Went here for dinner recently with a few friends. Their happy hour had good prices and a small selection of appetizers. The dirty martinis I ordered (two in total) were very different in flavor, even though I ordered the same exact drink.
I enjoyed their small appetizers, especially the Dolmades (stuffed grape leaves).
For our meal we shared several items… saganaki (flaming cheese), a spinach pie and a gyro platter. The saganaki was served in a traditional hot dish and was flamed table-​side. Although the lemony flavor was okay it was super salty (even more than normal). When the spinach pie was served it looked more like a stuffed burrito than what I’d normally expect… in a roll form. The dipping sauce was decent with a hint of dill. The gyro platter was also just passable… meat was on the dry side but flavor was alright. The pita was cut into such small triangles that it was hard to build a reasonable mouthful of all the ingredients on the platter.
I love Greek food (grew up on it actually), and this place just missed the mark for me. My quest continues!!!

I went to Santorini for dinner on a weekday with my girlfriend, excited to find try this place as I am generally very big on Greek/​Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant was relatively empty, potentially owing to the weekday, but nonetheless the waitstaff was fully attentive and exceptionally friendly. Before the meal, we were served olives, bread and cheese which I thought was a good way to wet the palette before the main courses. I tried the Spanakopita, and the chicken kebab, both of which were delicious. The kebabs were well seasoned and cooked to tenderness and came with a Greek salad, which although not for me (given its saltiness), fit well with the meal. My only reservation were the prices; they were unexpectedly along the lines of what I might expect to pay at some of the more upscale restaurants in the Cleveland area.

This review is based on my Santorini experience prior to a Unilocal Event held at Santorini.
I was super excited to visit Santorini Greek Taverna as it has been bookmarked for months. I love Greek wine and Greek seasonings so I was looking forward to checking this place out.
Das Mann and I decided to hit up SGT before the Unilocal Event was to kick off. We were hungry and wanted to sample some of the food and drinks ahead of time. STG was pretty empty upon arrival and we snagged some Rock-​Star parking out front on the street. We sidled up to the bar and were promptly waited upon by a lovely bartendress. She made appropriate wine recommendations and were were very happy with the bottle of white she suggested. Happy Hour was still going on so we ordered the Gyro and Calamari. Both dishes were served quickly and I was surprised at the ample portions. I’m not a huge Gyro fan but I have to say the meat was tender, not chewy, and the seasoning was to die for. The calamari was not chewy but a bit lacking on flavor for my tastes. I did enjoy that some of the calamari were the portion with the legs. I prefer the crispy legs to the calamari rounds. Das Mann liked the food so much he ordered the Fried Eggplant and Zucchini chips. I’m not a huge fried food fan and I wasn’t too sure about this selection. I was pleasantly surprised! The chips weren’t too greasy and the flavor profile was spot on.
We enjoyed some baklava at the end of the evening; another huge portion and with a scoop of delicious pistachio ice cream. If I had one complaint it would be the coffee. It was clearly Folgers coffee by the smell and taste (I’m a snob). I ordered a Greek coffee and was disappointed by the clearness of the coffee and the flavor was all wrong. Santorini, fix your coffee and I’ll bump you to 5 stars.
I would definitely recommend STG for your Greek food fix.

I have been here a few times (actually many more if you count the times it has been under different names /​ownership!) and like it… meh. Food– ok. Service– friendly– but meh. Bar staff– slow. Drinks– watery and again, meh.
Why the 3 stars? The place is gorgeous! It is in a great location! And they have my favorite teramislota dip that I can’t find at a lot of places. (Although I think they use tobiko instead or red, since the salt level seems off). I still love it!

This place used to be Burger 9 on West 9^th street in downtown CLE.
Organized a birthday dinner for about 18 people here. There wasn’t a private party room, but they finagled a few long dinner tables to accommodate. This place was empty on a Wednesday evening, not that it really matters.
Servers were very attentive. To start, indulge in a few types of fresh breads with olive spreads (yum). I got the lamb chops which were very tender and moist. They flavor town on this bad boy. However the price was a little steep for what it was worth I think.
Bathrooms were clean. Parking free at the street meters after 6:30 pm.
Overall, food was great but I think for them to stay in business probably should lower their costs a little.

Wonderful unexpected surprises !
We have never been here before and loved the meal! Highly recommend everything on the menu!
Beautiful venue and terrific service!

The spreads and cocktails are absolutely fantastic! It’s about time the Warehouse District got a good place for brunch as well. Yummy brunch specials, bloody marys and oh-​so-​good mimosas (you can’t help but order more than one).
If you like greek flavors, you need to check this place out! The service is fantastic, prices are reasonable for a nice dinner out and the food is super tasty. I recommend the chicken skewers, hummus spread (or any of the spreads really) or the salmon!

The diversity of downtown eats never ceases to amaze me and I was thrilled to learn of a hot new Greek restaurant. Being a new spot, I came in with zero expectations and was pleasantly surprised! The interior is all white and chic with subtle blue shining lights for a pop of color. I was a little leery that their menu was not posted, so I went ahead and added photos of it for fellow Unilocalers wondering whether they should give it a try or not.
They deliver bread with Greek yogurt balls and humus to your table that is all homemade and fresh. We ordered the tzasiki spread served with the most soft and delicious pita I think I’ve ever had. It was like eating a cloud with the addicting spread, which was creamy and refreshing with a hint of cucumber. The way they present the food is too cute! The tzasiki was my favorite item we ordered by bar, followed by the pan fried feta cheese dish (yum!) and the first salad listed on the menu which was good but nothing special.
Everything was just so fresh and tasty while being displayed so creatively. I will be going back soon! Perfect place to snack and share small plates. Not too sure about the entrees, but I’m sure they are nothing short of quality. Opa!!!

Hot and new! I was here on 4÷10÷15. The food is OUTSTANDING– not your typical Greek «diner» style food.
Food:
The ouzo BBQ sauce was to die for, skirt steak cooked perfectly
Horiatiki Salata — heirloom tomatoes were delicious
Seafood and Orzo — fresh seafood and the sauce was amazing
Service: 5 Star service! So polite, friendly and prompt
Atmosphere– clean and classy :) bar has blue under lighting and there are modern light fixtures, wood floor.
