That's great news, Negg! Thanks for that! I can sleep easy now safe in the knowledge that in a weeks time we'll be there! Thanks again.

Glad to hear that Thalassa is back open, its my favourite restaurant, had some gorgeous meals in there!!

One of mine too, Smiffy, but we went before they opened, and no one else's stuffed peppers are quite the same!

Never mind, good food everywhere in Arillas!

Hello All

Not been around for a while! We went to Thalassa last year and it was an awful meal! Looks as though i am in a minority though! I would go back to see if it was just a one off.

I must admit the Thalassa isnt our favourite either Paul, we havent had a good meal there yet, bit nouveau cuisine for me and not enough of it.  We like it rough and ready... well not as bad as that but you know what I mean, where we feel comfortable if we us our fingers sometimes.   We have only been there because of the jazz nights not because we like the food.  Sorry to offend anyone.

we went nearly everywhere last year and Thalassa and the Marina were the worst meals we had. We loved captains, Brouklis and Costas the most and the onethe opposite way from costas, cant think of the name at the moment. We will try Thalassa again, hope its better!!

Isn't it funny how so many people can have so many different opinions? We tend to have our favourite dishes for different restaurants.  That said, we had raw (ie pink rubbery) chicken at one Taverna that shall remain nameless and we would never go again which is a shame because we had been a few times previously.  'Nowt fussier than folk' we say in these parts!

Yes Jo!

We all have our thing, and if a restauarant can get so many great reviews and so few bad ones it must be good and worth tryng.

Not to push it, but I once had a lobster dish in Boston USA  which cost someone (not me!) a fortune and it tasted like bleached shoe leather. The place was full of people who were saying how good the restaurant was, but like you and others said earlier, I simply ate what I could and said no more in public until now (25 years later).

It is each to their own - Jen hates mashed potatoes and gravy - BG and I both love it going by earlier posts. So the debate will go on forever.

Best wishes
Phil

Isnt the saying "Horses for Courses".. or have I got that wrong... each to their own or something along those lines. We can all have our off days and some days they must have those in restaurants too.  It must be very hard catering for everyone  who have so many different tastes and expectations.

But,  I must admit I do get very disappointed myself if the service and food is below par.

Well said blondegirl! I personally am a Thalassa fan and have always received excellent service and gorgeous food and will go the in the next couple of weeks a few times I believe :)
Life is good ;)

Enjoy EEG! I can tell you that from 7 to 21 July, jen and me will spend more hours there than anywhere else. And most of the rest of it at Brouklis? But then they all do good Mythos so we'll see!

Have a great time!
