Review Summary

Across many visits, Mama C earns praise for a warm, elegant atmosphere, creative Greek-inspired dishes that feel refined yet comforting, and consistently attentive service. Dishes such as octopus, sea bass, pastitsio, vibrant salads, and well balanced desserts showcase thoughtful presentation and bold flavors, while the wine and cocktails add further finesse. The vibe works beautifully for date nights, celebrations, or a casual dinner with friends, with a stylish interior and welcoming staff contributing to a memorable experience. Some comments note smaller portions or higher prices, and a few evenings can be busier or quieter, but the overall impression is one of quality, hospitality, and a place many guests are eager to return to.

Genuinely shady is the best waiter ever. I only rate it five stars because he gave us the best experience possible at a restaurant. Food was good, he was amazing. 100% recommend

Le cadre est magnifique. Nous étions assis au bar près de l'entrée, mais malheureusement l'expérience a été très bruyante puisque l'endroit où les assiettes étaient débarrassées se trouvait juste à côté de nous, au sol. Les serveurs lançaient littéralement les assiettes, au point où nous avions un peu de la difficulté à nous entendre parler.

Nous avons pris le menu dégustation 6 services.

Les deux entrées étaient assez quelconques : le sashimi de dorade & les huîtres Rockefeller manquaient de wow. La salade grecque était décevante, avec des croûtons tellement durs que j'ai cru me casser une dent & 3 petits cubes de feta.

Quant à la pieuvre, j'avais de grandes attentes venant d'un restaurant grec. Le goût était bon, mais la cuisson était ratée : elle était trop cuite, filandreuse, sèche & pâteuse.

Un peu déçue de l'expérience en général.

We were there on a Monday at 7 PM, a table of 3 at the bar. The night started well with great drinks & a very pleasant bartender. The restaurant has a beautiful décor &, for once, I could read the menu without my phone's flashlight. We asked for recommendations to share & ordered a total of 6 plates: 3 appetizers & 3 main courses. The waitress asked us if we wanted the appetizers first or everything at the same time, & we answered that whatever was easiest for her was fine. We got our appetizers & they were great. We even ordered a second round of drinks because we were enjoying the ambiance.

Unfortunately, after that second round of drinks, the service disappeared. We waited for nearly 1.5 hours. We saw two rounds of clients at the bar get their drinks, food, desserts, & bills before we even got our main courses. To top it off, we were offered the dessert menu before getting our actual food. When we asked the bartender to check on our order, we found out the second course was just never sent to the kitchen. We understand mistakes happen, but for a meal where each of us paid $150+, it is completely unacceptable

Nevertheless I had a great time because I was in great company.
Will update my review the next time I come by.

Loved this restaurant!! It was fabulous! Had a chic 70s modern decor in gold tons. Nice big table for our group by the wine selection. Friendly & attentive staff.

Great wine selection. I loved the white we tried. It was light & refreshing.

We tried the shrimp dip with tomato & feta. So yummy with pita. Also had the spanokopita salad & I loved this!! A salad built on this is a great idea & was delicious. We also had the lamb kebab..so delicious. Served with red pickles onions, tzatziki & a little salad. So delicious . The meat was tender & juicy.

For dessert we had the shareable phyllo pastry with custard & it was delicious. Not too sweet & love the crispy phyllo.

Really great spot!

- Nourriture moyenne & assez cher ( plat 3 demi crevette dans mon assiette & agneau très cuit & sec // dessert correct )
- une salle très belle malgré que très bruyante pour un dinner un mardi soir (salle non complète )
- service très agréable malgré 2 mails reçu le lendemain indiquant un no show & sous entendant une facturation supplémentaire

Une mention spéciale pour le maître d'Hotel Basile Halard. Il est très compétent, gentil, dévoué, à l'écoute. Grace à lui , mon expérience a été plus que parfaite.

Don't get me wrong, the food (beef tenderloin kebab & beef tartare) were great, as well as the bartender! However while one of the server was tending our dish, he accidentally dropped a piece of our beef tenderloin on the floor. Without apologizing for the incident, he just picked it up & left quickly & just avoided us for the rest of our dining without taking accountability. Just be aware of the unprofessional & dismissive of the staff. Again nevertheless, food was great!

J'ai adoré le menu de groupe à 150$. Vraiment pour le prix il y'a vraiment du choix, les aliments sont frais. La nourriture est savoureuse. J'y retourne encore & encore ☺?

The atmosphere is beautiful, but unfortunately the service completely ruined the experience for me.

From the beginning, the server was unusually pushy & made multiple unnecessary comments throughout the evening that made me genuinely uncomfortable. I had clearly explained that I was on a calorie deficit & asked what lighter options he would recommend. After recommending a few dishes himself, he still continued insisting that what we ordered was'only appetizers' & repeatedly pushed for more food, even after it was obvious we were satisfied with what we had ordered.

What made the experience worse was the attitude behind the comments. There was a very condescending & mocking tone throughout the interaction, especially regarding my food & drink choices. Instead of simply taking the order & letting guests enjoy their evening, there were repeated remarks & expressions that felt judgmental & intrusive.

A server should never make guests feel embarrassed or self-conscious about what they choose to eat or not eat. Whether a table orders a full dinner or just a few dishes & drinks should not affect the quality of the service or the way guests are treated.

The food itself was fine, although the grilled calamari arrived cold. But overall, the lack of tact & professionalism from the service left a really unpleasant impression.

C'était une choix merveilleuse pour un brunch! L'accueil très chaleureux & le service rapide & délicat.'OEuf benedictes au saumon' est simplement délicieux & très goûteux. L'emplacement idéal pour se promener dans les ruelles pittoresques de Vieux Port. J'y reviendrai sans doutes. Merci!
