Family friendly, casual atmosphere and outstanding food. No Name Grill House strives to make every guestâs experience a memorable one.
Reviewed By Trelen
Weâd had a busy day and wanted a more casual dining experience within stumbling distance of our hotel when we returned from our bus tour one evening.The reviews of No Name Grill House were really positive and it was only a short walk from our hotel so this seemed the perfect choice for us on this particular evening.We passed on starters as we were saving room to tackle the mixed meat grill for 2 and Iâm glad we did. There was ample food, and then some. The pork and chicken skewers were especially tasty and probably the best thing on the platter but everything was good in all fairness along with the pita which I really enjoyed. Iâd possibly skip the baklava, it was a little underwhelming.There were never more than 3 or 4 tables occupied no matter what time we walked past. It deserves a few more bums in the seats but maybe itâs much busier in the peak summer months. That being said the service is a little slow and the servers are not particularly present, you have to take your opportunity as soon as you see someone as they are unlikely to return to your table proactively. Good value, no frills kind of place that also do take out. If you want some grilled meat you canât really go wrong.

We ate here twice, eventually. This place is SO popular on the websites that were it 10x the size they couldnât accommodate the people who want to eat here. This husband and wife team serve up fabulous food, at incredible prices. On top of which, they serve unpretentious but perfectly sinkable wine at â¬14 per LITRE!! Oh, and then they give you divine creme anglais filled baklave as a dessert for free. Costas quietly visits the market each day & prepares every dish to order, whilst his wife is anything but quiet at the front of house. She laughs & banters with her guests. Her crazy but infectious warmth may intimidate the shy, but if you can embrace her she will look after you beautifully. We had halloumi with marmalade, cheese pies, meatballs, fried tomato balls, the triple souvlaki and best of all.. the grilled seafood plate. I have NEVER (Iâm a Yorkshireman) tipped 25% of the bill, but these two deserved every euro. Just remember... BOOK!!! Or youâll be eating elsewhere with a glum face!!

Went here for lunch before our flight home. What a perfect spot. Really relaxed seating and lovely views. Food seemed to be brought out when it was cooked rather than one table at a time, so dishes did arrive at different times. However this was no problem as it meant for a relaxed dining experience. Very much enjoyed the complementary Raki drink and rusks , cheese, oil and olives to start while we were choosing from the delicious menu. The Cretan salad was the best weâd had, the grilled asparagus with cheese AMAZING, baked aubergine and chickpea stew both equally tasty. Excellent value meal, one of the tastiest weâd had and only a 10 minut drive to the airport.

This is a simple but cosy place, staff are very friendly and takes well care of you.We had a light dinner with grilled shrimps, which was tasty, the restaurant has a great choice of fresh fish.We sat on the edge of waterfront which was very nice in the sunset.It is a bit difficult to reach the old port, cable car is 12⬠each way but there are huge queues when passengers are going to and from the cruise ships, the alternative is to walk climb 600 stairs....

We went there for my friend's birthday and really enjoyed our night in scala. The food was really good and anesiss who served us was an incredible waiter. He even brought a birthday waffle courtesy of the house for the birthday girl,which by the way was super delicious. I had the hummus octopus which was superb as well. Would definitely go again!Thank you Anesiss!

Beautiful place to enjoy dinner. The grounds are gorgeous and the restaurant is intimate and charming.There were so many amazingly delicious courses including Santorini salad, traditional Greek salad, a trio of dips including beetroot "salad", tzatziki, and eggplant "salad", olives, mushrooms, and a main course of fresh sea bass, mashed root vegetables and steamed broccoli.Unfortunately, the wine was not as good as the food... and the servers did not seem interested in serving much of it. After the wine tasting, the servers poured us one full glass of wine but never came back to ask us if we wanted more.

Bad experience We are Greeks so we know about good tastes and quality. The food was ok, as traditional cooking, but the prices were too expensive according the portion.They are stealing the clients with these prices.I know we are in Santorini which is expensive , but these small portion of food is unacceptable, have the same prices but with bigger quantity!These seems that you do not respect the clients.I told the owner about it and he was really rude towards me!I was really dissapointed!! I do not recommend it at all!!!Good eveningFirst of all the only person that came from the first moment with a mood to fight was you. You were rude and ironic to the staff of the restaurant from the very beginning, from the moment you sat at the table. When you came in to pay you started shouting, pointing your finger to me and coming straight at my face like you wanted to throw a punch as I was keeping my distance. And people saw that! Your own company was telling you to leave but you continued to shout and yell by yourself. You found me rude just because I was telling you the absolute truth about some specific dishes that you mentioned and the prices about the ingredients of those. In Santorini prices are expensive yes, but we as a restaurant bring the finest and best quality ingredients from all over Greece and that equals more transfer fees. You mentioned how much you buy these ingredients at your village or your local market but that is totally irrelevant as the prices are NOT the same there and here. Also, locals that saw you came in later and told me that they've seen you doing the exact same thing in other places also, and that it is a habit of yours. So the conversation ends here. You can read the rest of the reviews of the restaurant as an answer to youself. Thank you very much for this though.

I really loved this place. Very low key and seemingly authentic and within easy walking distance from the main square in Fira. Itâs a great way to sample lots of dishes; Firaâs version of small plates (although be warned: the portions are generous). I was here late in the season so the âmainâ menu wasnât available but there were plenty of options nevertheless. I love the Greek restaurant tradition of a complimentary small dessert and/or aperitif to end the meal. Lovely!

Reviewed By sergq2015
This is a very small restaurant, I would estimate around 30 person capacity. The first thing we noticed was how attentive the servers were. They checked up on us throughout our meal, refilling drinks and cleaning off our table between courses, and always checking to make sure we enjoyed everything. The menu was a modern take on traditional Greek cuisine. We really enjoyed the mussels appetizer, which was served in a tomato and feta based sauce similar to a mussels saganaki. The difference here was the flair of the dish being served on a flaming dish with a mint jelly on a spoon to pour over the mussels. Absolutely delicious. We also had their bread which tasted fresh and was served with a creamy feta and red pepper dipping sauce which was a great complement to the mussels.We had a spaghetti with prawns and rack of lamb for our main courses. Both of the dishes were plated stylishly and were rich and full of flavor. We had a chocolate souffle for dessert that turned heads at other tables when it was served with a red wine goblet steaming with dry ice that seemed designed to Instagram.We were so pleased with our dinner and the service that we made reservations for the next night as well. Our servers even introduced us to the chef!
