Ellinis Greek Tavern

Overall 9.3 - Food 9, Ambience 9, Value 10, Service 9

Weve been there twice in the last month and had both the banquet and individual meals. On both occasions the food has been a plenty and the service great. There was always a smile and a laugh from the staff as they wander through the restaurant. Amelia is always accomodating to ensure you have the best time possible. Nothing is too hard for them   (300474 - August, 2012)

We recently booked a table of 20 for a function at Ellinis . I did not feel like going on the night due to bad weather . But once we got there my spirits were uplifted. the atmosphere was welcoming and the food was marvelous,, and so much of it . we danced to the Greek music and we had the best time with all our friends. We booked the restaraunt again for the fishing club anual dance next month. We all agreed to go back once a month . Its value for money . ( can't understand what people are complaining about ) we loved it. June 23rd 2012 ( we paid at the end of the night had no issues with the owner or staff   (July, 2012)

What an eventful terrible experience.

I had a christening at the tavern, and can not believe how disorganised and rude the staff and owners were. All they were worried about was when we were going to pay the bill. We arrived at the tavern and at this stage we were all seated, no drinks had been brought to the table, (which was included in the per head price) we asked for a bottle of red & white wine to be placed on the tables, 10 mins later still no wine. My husband then goes up to the bar to ask if we could have wine on the tables and the owner turned around and said you need to pay the bill before we can put the wine on the table. My husband was shocked with the attitude and response, a large deposit has already been paid, and the remainder was agreed to be paid at the end of the function. We then paid the remainder not to cause a argument, which they then used to go buy the wine during the function from the supermarket. The wine they purchased was a standard clean skin which would of costed them no more than $5 per bottle!!

I then noticed behind the bar that they were using cheap soft drinks no brand names which would cost $1.00 for a 2 litre bottle. Not real coke they were using LA Ice which is terrible.

The food was bland and not fresh! They even ran out of ice 1 hour into the function.

These people have been in the business for a long time, and still dont know how to run a function. People like this should not be in the industry, you pay a good price you should expect good food, beverages and service.

I will never recommend this tavern to anyone and I will not be going back.

Worse place ever!!!! Worse experience in my life. Seriously places like this give the term tavern a bad term in the dictionary....Food disgusting, hygiene terrible. My dish had a curly hair in it. I felt sick!! I went inside the kitchen to complain and i saw the owner smoking and turn off his cigarette on the side of the dish he was making. I thought things like this existed only in the movies. But god i was wrong.. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE....   (April, 2011)

Oh forgot to mention i have never been to a place where drinks are so expensive..You are expected to eat several courses on one tiny plate which is never changed or even cleaned. Music..Oh my lord great for a laugh shocking on the ears...Staff ...POOR.. Nights experience overall was made great by company attended with..Not the atmosphere provided by the restaurant. FIRST AND LAST TIME   (ellinis greek tavern oakleigh - February, 2011)

Overall 3.3 - Food 6, Ambience 1, Value 5, Service 1

We had made a booking arrived on time and waited at reception for half an hour waiting to be seated. We had to go and find a waiter and even then there was confusion as to where we were sitting. No wine list, we asked for red wine and were given some awful wine that tasted like vinegar. The manager was shouting at staff to hurry up - very squashy. The entertainment was very poor as the female singers did not even know the words to the songs they were singing. All food was served at once. When we wanted to leave and settle the bill at around 10pm we were told to wait as the staff were too busy. This will be the first and last time that we will ever go to this place. Disgusting.   (Stella - October, 2010)

Great food, possibly the worst service ever experienced on multiple occasions. I booked a birthday dinner with family well in advance. We turned up, were shunted to a back table while the rest of the restaurant was booked for a Greek Christening. Then we were told there would be a set menu....

Second occasion, I was ordering take away and because they don't have an internet menu, I apparently asked a few too many questions. The woman stated she didn't have time to talk and that I was holding up her phone line (for all of a minute). SHE HUNG UP!

AVOID   (Ellinis Greek Tavern - January, 2009)

Overall 5 - Food 7, Ambience 5, Value 7, Service 1

Arrived at 7pm on a busy Saturday night with a party of six and found fixed menu of $40 per head (byo ok and no corkage). Food was OK but first few courses were rushed out before we had finished what was previously offered meanig we were finished by 8pm. Final course of fruit platter & coffee had not turned up by 9.30 so we asked waitress to hurry the final course up as the loud live music was making conversation impossible. After waiting another 45 minutes we left before last course turned up. One of our party complained to the management and received an apology and a $20 refund. The service & space between courses left a lot to be desired.   (Ray N - See my reviews (2) - June, 2008)

Arrived at 7pm with a party of 6 on a busy Saturday night with several birthday parties in attendance. Set menu of $40 was acceptable (and food was OK) but first number of courses were rushed (coming out before we had finished prior offering). However, then had to wait over 2.5 hours before last course & coffees looked like coming out (even though we asked on more than one occasion). Finally left before last course. Expected some noise but live music was too loud and made conversation impossible.   (Ray N - See my reviews (2) - June, 2008)

One of the entrees tasted like cigarettes. Atmosphere, there are alot of other nationalities coming in and out of the place, and when they ask to play cds of other languages when the band WAS playing was a bit disrespectuful. Value for money, $100 bottle of scotch, you tell me. Service, dont let me start!. the staff deffinately dont want to be there. you have to ask for everything, even water and ice which should always be brought to you. The waiter on several occasions has asked a +40 to say please!. he was younger. were is the respect. do not recommend this place for anything!   (June, 2008)

Poor service. Had to ask for things that are already included in service. The serving staff attitude indicated that they would rather not be there. Will not go there again and won`t recommend to others.   (April, 2008)
