Venturing into Elounda, a Greek seafood haven, proved to be a culinary adventure that left a lasting impression. With a menu steeped in the rich flavors of the Mediterranean & an ambiance reminiscent of the Greek isles, Elounda delivered a delightful experience. The culinary journey began with a classic appetizer, the Kalamari, which showcased the chef's expertise in preparing this Mediterranean favorite. The succulent & perfectly cooked calamari set the tone for the feast that awaited. The Zucchini Fry, a delightful surprise, stole the spotlight with its crispy perfection & mouthwatering seasoning. Freshness was the hallmark of Elounda's Oysters, served with a burst of flavors that transported diners to the ocean's edge. The oysters were not only fresh but also a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality seafood. The star of the evening was the Fish Grill-an exquisite dish that encapsulated the essence of Greek seafood cuisine. Grilled to perfection, the fish was both tender & flavorful, offering a symphony of tastes that delighted the palate. The ambiance at Elounda added to the overall experience, with charming decor that reflected the warmth of the Mediterranean. The attentive service staff, clad in outfits reminiscent of the Greek coastal villages, contributed to the authentic atmosphere. While the culinary experience at Elounda was exceptional, it is regrettable that a slight tarnish occurred during the payment process. One service staff member, in a moment of unprofessionalism, pressed for a tip, suggesting a specific percentage. This incident, albeit unpleasant, did not overshadow the overall excellence of the dining experience. In conclusion, Elounda stands out as a must-visit for those seeking an authentic Greek seafood adventure. From the succulent Kalamari to the delightful Zucchini Fry & the exquisite Fish Grill, Elounda delivers a memorable gastronomic journey. Despite the minor hiccup, I highly recommend Elounda for its culinary prowess & inviting ambiance. Please note that individual experiences may vary, & this review reflects a personal perspective on a specific visit.
Wonderful date night outing with my wife, who was craving seafood. We had the grilled octopus & the Mediterranean red snapper, which were super fresh & perfectly grilled. Service was friendly & efficient. Will definitely return.

When out for date night with my wife, we had an amazing experience, the chilean bass & grilled squid were delicious. Our waiter Jean was genuinely nice & we look forward to seeing him again.
The food was fantastic. We had the fixed menu for four. Started with salad, grilled octopus, fried calamari, fried zucchini & eggplant. Octopus was perfectly prepared, as was the calamari. The zucchini & eggplant were perfectly crispy. The main course consisted of grilled fish, chicken & lamb chops accompanied by rice & vegetables. All were cooked to perfection. This was topped off with delicious loukoumades & coffee. A perfect meal with family!
I enjoyed the attitude of the waiting staff.
The food was dissatisfying.
The crisp vegetables with batter were cold & chewy. The rice was dry. The vegetables that can with fish were bland & either over or undercooked.
The dessert was okay.
The grilled fish was lukewarm.
Now, I am comparing your food to Panama on West Island & what I have eaten on the Greek Islands.
The food & service was fantastic! Nothing could have been better. Paul did a terrific job taking care of us & really hit it out of the park with his recommendation of the grilled octopus. It was delicious!
Amazing food from Greek Salad to the Elounda spécial to octopus to lamb to chicken to grilled veggies to Lou Kounadis to mint tea Excellent service & a fun bustling room
Gary, his wife, Bobby, & the entire Eloundra Team helped us celebrate my mom's birthday.. The food was amazing, the service was terrific & the place was packed. Reservations are a must! Whatever you do, make sure you try the grilled Octopus or have Gary put together a custom sharing platter. I love this place! See you in a few months. Dan
