We had a superb lunch at the restaurant; they were effortlessly able to accommodate my request for communal platters & the service was excellent. Really nice atmosphere & a great lunch experience overall.
What a great Birthday evening. Food was great, grilled veggies exceptional, fish superb & the wines & service perfect.
Thanks to the owner Costa for a wonderful experience.

The food was excellent as usual. The service very polite. HOWEVER, we were sat down & then totally ignored for over almost 20 minutes!! This is unacceptable. Lunchtime crowds need to get back to work. If service will take longer than expected, then patrons should be notified NOT IGNORED. A patron at a table beside us had to leave before even finishing her meal.
great food, great service & generous pours in a nice setting with convenient attached underground parking. Always dependable for a pleasant dining experience.
A great evening EXCEPT - make sure the waiter does not blindly upsell you on the fish. We thought we had asked for the $52 Sea Bass & he gave us $78 Market price seabass. After explaining the difference & ignoring our request for a smaller portion that would be shared. The issue was obvious when the bill arrived - His response to my query - "everyone always orders the Med Sea Bass" was his answer.. & a shoulder shrug...I guess he does this all the time - is it an upsell or theft. Be Forewarned -
You can't go wrong at Zantes! The food is fresh & prepared perfectly. Service is attentive, & the cocktails wonderful. The Greek white wine, Emphasis, recommended by our waiter, was delicious. A bit loud for a business dinner, but great for any other occasion!
Once again Zante didn't meet expectations. They exceeded them to the stratosphere & then some. Simply THE BEST Dinner my entire office team has had ever. From the moment we walked in (It was a FULL house) we were warmly greeted & our Waiter introduced himself immediately. Service was spot on & we didn't have to wait on anything. All food orders came out promptly & together.. & don't forget it was a full house. Music was managed by a DJ which was an awesome touch. Long story short.. a spectacular evening & wonderful hands on by management. I cant wait to repeat.

Full house on a Saturday night & Zante did not disappoint. Celebrated my Daughter's bday & food was simply superb & service was spot on. Also, the bus boys / waiter assistants really went out of their to make things perfect. Bravo.. & cant wait to be back.
