Great Setting, Awful Food

We had lunch today at Kolonaki at Nicolway. The ambience is nice and the service was good—courteous and attentive. Sadly, the food was a complete disappointment. I ordered the grilled sardines. I expected them to be frozen, but the quality was extremely poor. They were overdressed—clearly an attempt to mask the bad taste. Hours later, I’m still trying to shake off the lingering, unpleasant aftertaste. My wife ordered the grilled octopus. It was like chewing on a piece of rubber, charred on a dirty grill. A shame really—the setting and service deserve better food. Definitely not a place we’ll return to.
