" I finally got to try Kellari during restaurant week and it was worth the wait. The prix-fixe menu offered an array of choices, and every dish was delectable. The seafood was exceptionally fresh, and the portions were plentiful. The ambiance of the restaurant was lively, yet comfortable. The service was friendly, although a little stretched during peak hours. Overall, a fantastic place for a special meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, our experience at Kellari Taverna was not as bright as expected. While we enjoyed the atmosphere, the food fell short. My partner ordered the sea bass, which was overcooked, and I found the service to be a bit slow despite the restaurant being nearly empty. We might give it a second chance, but this time we’ll go for lunch instead. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing praise for Kellari Taverna for months, I finally had the chance to visit. I ordered the trio of spreads as an appetizer, which included a delightful tzatziki and hummus. However, the main course was underwhelming; my seafood paella lacked seasoning and was served cold. The atmosphere was cozy but a bit crowded. Service was friendly but a bit detached during peak hours. Might give it another go for brunch. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a rather mixed experience on our recent dinner at Kellari Taverna. While the ambiance was great, with lovely Greek decor, the service left much to desire. Our food took an unusually long time to arrive, and when it did, my lamb was more fatty than expected. However, my partner's seafood linguine was on point! While I'd recommend it for its atmosphere and some dishes, I’d suggest going during off-peak hours for better service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Kellari Taverna for the first time recently and loved it! The octopus was grilled perfectly and was my favorite dish. The portion sizes were generous and offered great value for money. Our server, Lucas, was great—knowledgeable and attentive. The restaurant has an inviting ambiance that adds to the dining experience. I am planning to return soon to try their brunch menu, which I've heard good things about! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointingly, my recent visit didn't meet the high expectations I had heard from friends about Kellari. The service was inattentive and I felt neglected by our waiter. My chicken souvlaki was a bit on the dry side, and the tzatziki was lackluster. That said, my friend's lamb shank was deliciously tender. The restaurant's atmosphere is inviting, so I might give it another chance on a quieter night. Hopefully, service can improve then. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Kellari was incredible! We celebrated my friend's birthday and the staff really went above and beyond. The food was purely divine, particularly the octopus and calamari. The only downside was the high noise level; it was a busy night! Our waiter attended to us well, but seemed overwhelmed. All in all, a fun dining experience that I would gladly repeat!
