Good view. Terrible service. Average to poor food.I booked the “restaurant” months in advance, only to be informed I had a couch in the bar area in wind gusts of 45km. Yes he cannot help the wind I understand this, but the fact is this- I booked the restaurant and this was confirmed via email. I advised the manager I did not want, nor booked a seat at the bar area, he informed me there were no tables at the restaurant? Ok, we had no other option but to sit in the uncomfortable and cold wind (we literally had things flying off the tables)1) Starters arrive- honestly just go to a good Greek taverna. It was literally two pieces of pasta. Not terrible, but very poor considering the price tag.2) Mains arrive - with an outstanding delay after the starters, only to be informed of “technical difficulties”?. The only technical difficulty is this restaurant literally served two pieces of frozen fish which were tepid (at best). No explanation of what the “technical difficulties” were? This isn’t good enough at 38 euros a main. 3) We have come back to our hotel at Island House for more food. Thank gosh for the beautiful souls at our hotel, I have a video of the manager arguing with me and my partner but I won’t stoop as low as to post this as I’d like to stick with the facts. Which I’ve stated above. Removing emotion out of this review...This is an overpriced, terribly operated establishment. Please go to Salt, Drakos or any other restaurant in Ios. I’m so sad to have wasted 114 euros and beyond the money fact, we are upset with how badly our last night turned out in Ios, we wanted to leave on a high but due to this restaurant we are both pretty upset and extremely dissatisfied.Dear SmithA1989, Thank you for choosing Grandma’s Restaurant and for taking the time to share your experience online as your partner did. We are deeply sorry that you did not have the unique dining experience that so many guests repeating and otherwise have come to enjoy from Grandma’s restaurant. Our goal is to provide a consistent experience to every guests dining at Grandma’s The specific table we had reserved for you is one of the best tables in our restaurants and is very popular among couples that wish to celebrate a special occasion. It enjoys the best view and a sense of privacy. On that note when we saw your request to be seated at the edge of the pool, naturally we assumed that this was the best table for you. We will agree that the only disadvantage that the particular table has, is the lack of protection from the winds. However we cannot always foresee the weather accurately and usually the winds in the area die down in the evening. Unfortunately that was not the case on the evening of your dinner and to make matters even more difficult indeed the restaurant was at full capacity in terms of bookings. That is the reason we suggested you should cancel your booking and reschedule it for another evening, but you declined our suggestion and agreed to be seated.We are deeply sorry you were not happy with our food. Grandma’s has been recently awarded with the highest national culinary award the “Toques d’ Or”. Our cuisine is praised online and offline. Grandma’s restaurant is the only restaurant on the island that offers a unique dining experience in a truly exclusive setting. The online and offline feedback we receive speaks for itself. We do hope we have the opportunity in the future to welcome you back. We are confident you will have a vastly different experience. Kind regards, George Androulakis, Operations manager

Drakos Taverna

Reviewed By Luke L

Drakos is the seafood restaurant where you take ypur friends out for high qualtiy authentic Greek seafood. The price is higher because they serve freah catches.A couple of great recommendations:1. Kalamari - much tastier than what you can get in the USA2. Boiled greens - Unique wild green vegetables available only in Greecr3. Fresh fish by thse kilo - tell them to grill it juicy and not too dry.

A lovely, fairly cheap and cosy restaurant by the port of Ios. The staff is very friendly and musicians delight your ears with local music all night long. Food was absolutely delicious, in the restaurant there were more Greeks than foreign tourists so it must say something!

We visited here lots including using their loungers at the beach. The staff were exceptional, really really exceptional. The chap at the beach was 100% on it, the guy at the bar made fab cocktails and was hosting the bar as if it were his own and the restaurant staff were great too.The food was good, although we had better in other establishments, especially in the evening but overall it was good enough that we kept returning.A great place to spend a casual hour drinking or dining.
