We visited Zorba the Greek Taverna during the afternoon hours between 3–5pm, and overall had a pleasant and relaxing experience. The food was generally good, priced reasonably for the location, and the views overlooking the river were absolutely stunning, a perfect backdrop for a slow afternoon meal.
The ambience and furnishings were well thought out, fitting the Greek aesthetic beautifully. It was quiet and peaceful, ideal for unwinding. The restaurant is also dog-friendly, which we appreciated. While pets are required to stay on the floor, it would be nice if they could offer a small cushion or designated seating for them. That said, they did kindly offer iced water for our dog, which was a lovely touch.
Service was mostly positive. The male staff on shift were all very attentive, active, and polite, which made us feel well taken care of. A male manager (or someone who seemed to be) even came over to chat, play with our pet, and share a few jokes, his warmth and friendliness really stood out.
However, one female staff member did show a bit of attitude, notably letting out a loud sigh at our table in response to our multiple requests. It was disappointing, especially since we were one of only two tables dining during that time. We also overheard the other table sending food back, which raised some concern about consistency during the afternoon service. That said, despite her initial reaction, the lady staff did attend to all our queries and requests, so credit is due for following through.
Overall, Zorba offers a pleasant riverside dining experience with good food, a beautiful setting, and mostly attentive service. While there’s room for improvement for a certain staff, I’ve been here a few times and would still recommend and return.
