Sokrates is a fine little Greek restaurant tucked away in the Pennines…read more The food is uniformly decent and surprisingly cheap. There's banquets to share and a good range of dishes, all of which look good enough on the menu to take a hopeful punt on. In fairness, they ARE all worth taking a punt on! The bar is as well stocked as any restaurant bar and the wine list is... well... I'm not a wine expert so I wouldn't know. From the look of it, it seems good enough unless you're Oz Clark. The staff are all pleasant and clued up and, on certain nights, they have traditional Greek music and, well, let me just say that, if you're after a quiet romantic night in, avoid this one (ring ahead to find out when it is as I can't remember) as it can get a bit loud. Fun as hell though. A good little restaurant this!

Mykonos is a greek restaurant near the train station…read more The owner of Mykonos, Dimitri, is the friendliest, happiest restaurant owner I have ever known. He gets really involved with the people who eat there. Whenever I have been there, he has made me get up and dance with him on a table at the front. After the dancing he gets everybody outside and lets us all smash a plate. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is the best I have ever experienced in a restaurant. I highly, highly reccommend this place to people of any age for birthday meals, anniversary meals, a fun night out with friends, anything! You will have fun, guaranteed!

He had us all up dancing all around the restaurant and out into the street and down the side of the building to smash plates! we all had such a good night that i will definately return!

Roast pepper soup on a windy & rainy afternoon was just what the doctor ordered. Chicken caesar…read moresalad was nice too, yet they forgot anchovies. The service was rather rude. When our card was rejected, they acted as if we didn't have money and wanted to run away -- didn't like that attitude *at all*. Also, the atmosphere of the place is a bit confusing - it's new, and on the 1st floor they have glass walls looking out to the street - which looked fantastic, but I left feeling confused... is it a hip new place in Lake District, or is this an old place pretending to be hip?

The rules of a good service is not only to take your order and bring it out but also check on you…read moreafter your first bite, and to check on you in a middle of your meal to refill your drinks. This place lacks of all steps but the ordering and brining it out. When I wanted something I had to yell out the waitress who was busy chatting with other staff behind the counter. We were done with tea and nobody checked on us. I wanted Tabasco for my soup there were nobody to ask for it Same for the freshly ground pepper. Food is okay. Nothing special. If you are here for a quick pit stop this place is okay.

A friend recommended this restaurant to us, so we decided to book a table and give it a try…read more Knowing that the venue has served as various types of restaurant in the past, first impressions were that it has been given quite a good makeover, right down to the colour theme of the island of Santorini. The welcome from the staff was friendly and we were shown to our table straight away and left with the wine list. Whilst not extensive, there are a number of Greek wines to choose from so we tried the Makedonikos, a medium dry white wine that went quite well with our food. Of course, being a Greek restaurant we had to start with a mezze, and there's certainly plenty to choose from here. We tried a small variety of dishes including the calimari, tzatziki and hummus, all of which were delicious. Next, the selection of main courses provides plenty of choice and we both decided to try the Stifado, a favourite of mine since I first tried it in Cyprus a few years ago. The beef is so well cooked here until it is really tender and just falls apart on your fork and the sauce is full of flavour. Highly recommended :) My only comment on the restaurant itself is that, although they've tried to capture the essence of Greece, it's not *quite* there yet. The lighting seemed just a bit too bright and behind the decor, the resturant seems just a bit too modern for a traditional Greek taverna. Hopefully this will change over time as the restaurant develops a bit more character - it is still quite new after all. Otherwise, the food is excellent and the staff are friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be going back. :)

So when I spied the rather nice looking Meze I made a bee line for it. It's quite a swanky looking eatery, especially in the area it's in and inside it didn't disappoint either. The waiters were pleasant and efficient and it all looked promising. That promise was maintained throughout the evening. The food is Turkish and Greek and a cuisine I've not really sampled too often. I wish I had though if this is any standard to measure by. Really tasty starters and fresh, well cooked mains. The kebabs and Turkish rice was simply delicious. The wine list was also perfectly good and the price, although not cheap reflected the standard of the food. A must for lovers of this type of food.

If you want to try a decent british meal, then go there. the price is not usually cheap but it is worth the money. You will need to book it for dinner cos it tend to be fully booked very often. The lunch menu is not even close to the dinner one, so dont recommend.
