Castaways - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Barbara P  (15 June 2004)         

I am really at a loss what to make of some of these comments. I have just returned from Argasi with my friend and my daughter and we ate at Castaways twice during our 7 day stay and we honestly cannot fault the food or the service. Having eaten in many of the restaurants over the years, this one had quite a unique menu and the food was cooked to perfection. We had the grilled king prawns (which were a little taste of heaven) and the sweet chilli chicken wraps for main course and my friend had one of the pasta dishes. The food was hot, very well presented and tasted lovely. All the staff were polite, friendly and efficient. I appreciate everyone's tastes are different and can only assume the negative comments are made by burger-loving Brits who don't appreciate well cooked, real food. Sorry if that offends anyone but that is my opinion. Barbara, Jen and Jackie xxx

My friend, my daughter and I ate here twice during our 7 day stay and the food, service and atmosphere was lovely. I had a curry the first time which was superb and fried crispy chicken the second time which was equally as good. My daughter had the chicken pie both times and thoroughly enjoyed it. The portions are very large and unfortunately we couldn't finish any of our meals! We were made to feel very welcome and found all the staff to be some of the friendliest we have met. A great place to eat! Barbara, Jen and Jackie xxx

Tropicana Cocktail Bar - (Bars in Argassi)

Being the sad person I have become, I once again (third time) spent my entire holiday evenings in this bar trying to win the quiz. It has become one of my 'things to do before I die' sort of things. And I did it!!! (Well, with a lot of help from my daughter and my friend). Having that huge cocktail put in front of me was like receiving an MBE (I did warn you how sad I have become). But seriously, I would like to thank Kevin and his team for making us feel welcome and providing a friendly, relaxed bar to while away our evenings. So, thank you Kevin, Sue, Kirsten, Tom and Costas (sorry if thats spelt wrong) and to Andreas for his comment 'Its only the first game' on that night when England let the Frogs whip our butts!

It seems to me that this site is being used in a private vendetta against this restaurant for whatever reason. I don't think this is the purpose of this website and I personally think if anyone has a grudge against anyone, then they should conduct it in private and not use a website such as this to vent their anger.

Fair enough Paul. So its the staff you are anti rather than the food then. By the way, I am just a holidaymaker who has recently returned and am certainly not paid or told to write anything good about this restaurant. I simply aired my views on the food and service I received whilst there. But it does seem to me reading through these comments that someone or some people have a personal grudge and are therefore writing opinions based on that grudge. But I may be wrong :o)

Returned from my second visit to Zante a week ago and ate at Castaways twice during my 7 day stay. Once again, I couldn't fault the food or the presentation. Had the beef strips in blue cheese sauce wraps which were cooked to perfection and very tasty! My husband had the mixed grill once and the pork medallions in red wine and honey sauce with roast potatoes which he thoroughly enjoyed (and he is a very fussy eater!). We found the staff to be very pleasant and whilst at the peak time we waited a while for our courses, that suited us as we like a break between courses. Well done to the chefs and all the staff with special thanks to 'you know who!' :o) xxx

Second time round this year for this restaurant and once again thoroughly enjoyed the three meals we had. The Sunday roast is just like home - but double the size! Had the steak pie which was by far the best pie I have eaten in years and the lamb chop platter was delicious. My husband had the Sunday roast, lamp chop platter and a steak which he said he couldn't fault. All the servings are huge and I felt bad about leaving so much on my plate but they certainly got the better of me! Excellent service, very friendly and easy-going and very good value for money. Thank you to all the staff at Great Dane - we will be back!

Second time round for me this year and once again found the staff to be friendly and the atmosphere so laid back we felt horizontal on a number of occasions (oh, or was that the effects of the HUGE cocktail we won??) The new Quizgo is good fun - about 6 or 8 chances of winning something from a shot to actual cash. Many thanks to Andreas, Kevin, Sue and Kirsten for once again making us feel welcome, as they do to all who visit. Once you've been here you will keep coming back I guarantee.

You should try putting a message on the Argassi messageboard - you'll probably have more luck on there as I think some of the workers in Argassi read it
