This was an amazing experience. We had all kinds of Greek dishes and every one of them was great, from the first till the last. I would particularly recommend the cheese croquetes and saganaki cheese.

Such sincerity and honesty through everything that you experience at Petralis... from the warmest of welcomes to being seated and brought bread and wine €8/litre promptly, amazing dishes and service that was gracious and just the right pace. We enjoyed Tzatziki, octopus salad, grilled calamari, whitebait and a lovely salad. Everything was fresh and tasty. The wine - incredible value for money. And when we had finished - a lovely little plate of baclava, and apple cake with ice cream on the house. Definitely could go back tmw and start on the menu again. Thoroughly recommend!

Sorry but by just raising the prices doesn't make you a fine restaurant. This place is trying to stand like a semi-gourmet fish tavern but it doesn't work. The menu is all over the place and everything is severely overpriced. ~8 euros for boiled vegetables? Are you serious? 60 euros for deep frozen shrimps? These are not good signs. In general the food wasn't bad, if you mind some sand in the mussels, but nothing too special. 70++ euros for 3 plates and 2 sodas it's a lot and it doesn't comply with the greek prices in general. It would if the menu was good.
The venue and the view is very nice and cozy but this is the only really good aspect. Also the service corresponds to a regular greek taverna and not to an elegant restaurant.

Visited with my fiancé for dinner. Everything went reasonably well until the bill arrived and to my surprised it included €4 for "dips". Upon pointing it out to the lady at the cash desk the owner who overheard my complaint rudely intervened to claim.that this was the bread charge. When I explained that we never actually ordered bread (!) and that its customary for the restaurant to offer some bread usually without extra charge he went nuts on me. I have never seen such a rude owner, we paid €100 for a 2 person dinner and this was the thank you message we got! Food was ok but never going again to this digusting owner.

We were a group of 12, we were met by the Owner who was very accommodating and gracious, making sure we were situated and Happy. The Service was attentive and spot on. The Food was Fantastic, serving local favorites, Seafood, Amazing Greek Salad and more. By the end of the Meal the Owner was Thanking us for our Patronage and inviting us back again. The overall Experience was wonderful and the Sunset view was Beautiful. We sat on the outside Terrace where the Weather was perfect and the Ambiance spectacular. I have found the overall Value for Food in Greece was unbelievably inexpensive. This place offered great value for the options you have and I would say relatively inexpensive, some may consider mid range but I am from New York so it was really great value.

We went in person and booked a table for 7 people for dinner (even said it in Greek).
Called beforehand to see if they could increase the table and they were categoric we had made booking for 4 people, then he became rude.
I'm not bothered because I don't give money to these people. However, you should know these people are dishonest and rude.

We went to Tarnasas with friends and family, and we had a great time! The mezzes were excellent, especially the fish carpaccio and fried kalamari fried kalamari.
As a main course, we had fried barbuns (red mullets) which were so well cooked and tasty that we couldn't help eating a 2nd round!
The location is beautiful just next to the old harbour, and you eat literally on the sea. The service was made by very sempathic and hard-working greek youngsters, who took really good care of us. Thank you again and Yasas!

If you are in Spetses and looking for an exceptional food experience, this is the place to go. Very expensive, but also extremely imaginative, truly delicious food, across the entire menu. Greek elements and flavours everywhere, but re-imagined and beautifully presented. The cook is trying to do something innovative and at a very high level of quality and he largely succeeds.
The staff were trying hard and very eager to please, but there were training issues and I dont thing that it was about individual staff per se. Dishes were mixed up, or served at the wrong times for a party 6, a few times. We spoke English and Greek, so we dont think language was the issue here. Anyway, despite this, I hope Michelin is Reading because if this place ups its game on service, we are in 1 and maybe even 2-star territory here.
