I guess my title pretty much sums it up. We went there for a special occasion dinner for my girlfriend for a party of 12 people. We had a 8 pm reservations made one week in advance. We arrived 5 min early, but ended up having to wait 45 min until we were seated, with no apology for the wait. Once seated we had to wait another 15 min to even see the waitress. We then ordered our first round of drinks etc. which took another 20 min to arrive. So for a 8 pm reservation, our first cocktails came at 9:20pm. 3 of us then ordered the lamb special which was so salty we couldn't eat it. We let the waitress know and there was again no apology. We then asked for the owner Petros, who came over to explain that things happen in a restaurant, but made no apology for the poor service we were experiencing. His solution was to offer us free Uzo shots, which they ultimately ran out of. When the bill came, we had to argue to get the 3 lamb specials removed. I highly recommend people avoid this restaurant. This is the worst dining experience i have ever had in Manhattan Beach. I am a local Manhattan Beach resident, who has lived here for 26 years and i have NEVER had a worse experience.
