    Food and service were outstanding . Our waitress , Constance , was absolutely lovely and checked up on us regularly without being intrusive. The ambience was lacking a bit , it was a cold day and I felt it would have been nice to put a heater on. However I am sure that if I had asked they would have happily obliged . Would definitely return and recommend it.

    Filotimo Greek Taverna responded on Mon 17 Aug 26:
    Thank you for such a thoughtful review. We’re so happy you enjoyed the food and service, and Constance will be very pleased to hear your kind words. We also appreciate your note about the heater, comfort matters, especially on a cold day, and we’ll keep a closer eye on that. We’re grateful for the recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back soon.

    Really enjoyed our evening at Filotimo - had read many reviews and it did not disappoint. Will definitely return to sit in the courtyard on a lovely summer evening.

    Wish I had discovered this Taverna a long time ago. Especially because of the general encouragement of civilised behaviour

    The food tasted good, but its expensive for the size of the portions. There are other tasty Greek restaurants with better portion sizes and prices.

    Filotimo Greek Taverna responded on Sun 09 Aug 26:
    I wouldn’t go sarcastic publicly — it can make the restaurant look defensive. Here’s a sharp but still professional version that protects Filotimo: Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the taste of the food, and we understand that portion size and value are important when choosing where to eat. At Filotimo, we focus on quality ingredients, fresh preparation, and a warm Greek dining experience rather than competing only on portion size. We appreciate you giving us a try and wish you well.
