    Pepperoni and green pepper pizza
    Dianne M.

    Sunday night, driving to Bar Harbor, we saw their sign and stopped in. Very hospitable and fast service. Great Greek salad! I started eating before I thought to take a picture. The pizza was on a thin, tasty crust, slightly sweet. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. A warm, family feel.

    Happy hour menu
    Nichole O.

    My boyfriend and I dined at the Old Town Kostas location about two weeks ago on one of our first nice Spring days this year. We were really looking for somewhere to have lunch with outdoor seating. All of the restaurants in Bangor had waits so we called Kostas and they had plenty of outdoor seating. When we got there we were immediately seated out on the patio and our waitress promptly came to get out drink order. We both got a drink from the bar and a couple waters. Our water came out right away but our bar drinks took nearly 20 minutes to come out. We placed our order, we got an order of steak nachos for an appetizer, some boneless wings and a chicken wrap. Around the time we ordered it was just turning 2 pm and according to the menu brought to our table, happy hour was just starting. One of the specials listed on their menu is $4 tall domestic beer and directly under lists their domestic drafts as Bud Light, Michelob Ultra, Miller Lite, and Sam Adams. My boyfriend decided to get a couple tall Sam Adams. Fast forward to getting our food, our appetizer took quite awhile to come out and our waitress kept apologizing for the delay. When the nachos finally came out, they were cold, cheese sauce was hard, and there were very few toppings thrown on top. We both agreed that it was not something we would order in the future. When our meals came out they were also less than impressive. Barely warm chicken tenders and a dry chicken wrap with a side salad that was missing 2 of the advertised toppings. Honestly, we're pretty easy going when we go out to eat so we didn't complain about the food, we just dealt with it. By the time we got the check, that's when our experience really went downhill. When our bill was given to us, I noticed that the beer did not get rung in at the happy hour price. When I brought this to the waitresses attention she mentioned that she was new and she would have to go run it by the manager- ok no problem. When she came back a few moments later she told us that "he said that we're not doing happy hour right now". I was a bit surprised at that response considering the menu clearly states when happy hour is. When we told her this and even pointed it out on the menu, she went back to the manager to inquire again. A few minutes later the manager himself came over. He rudely told us that it wasn't that they weren't doing happy hour, it's that Sam Adams is not included in that special. When we questioned him on this and pointed out the menu he basically told us that he didn't know what to tell us, that there are signs posted all over the inside of the restaurant about what's included (even though we were not sitting inside), he also laughed at us and told us that a $4 Sam Adams is unheard of. I am unsure if there really are signs clearly stating this or not inside, as we did not go inside. After a few times back and forth, he said that he would change the price this time but he would NEVER do it again. He acted as if it was some big favor that he was honoring their happy hour menu. He took off with our card and I checked my bank app within like 2 minutes of him walking away and the price was corrected. However, he didn't bring the card back over for a good 15 minutes. When he came to drop it off, he waited until our waitress was over talking with us and he was already turned around walking the other way by the time the card and receipts landed on the table. He was just so unprofessional with the way he handled the situation that it really blew my mind. We have really enjoyed him and his service in the past, but this experience left us never desiring to return to Kostas in the future.

    Greek lamb gyro
    Ron C.

    I told my daughter I was craving for Mediterranean food and we end up to to this restaurant but to my surprise when I look up their menu I saw a lot of American foods,pasta and very few Mediterranean dishes so I was thinking this is an Americanized version of Mediterranean restaurant. There's not a lot of people on where we're seated but on the other side which is the bar are full of customers. We ordered potato nachos and mozzarella squares as a starter, it's like either a potato chips or sliced of fried potatoes with just some melted cheese tomatoes and bacon but the potatoes are barely covered with cheese and the mozzarella squares are served with marinara sauce (that's Italian by the way) My daughter had the mix grill which is okay,her partner got the Alfredo which is another Italian dish,my wife got the Greek chicken gyro and I had the lamb gyro both served with fries and cole slaw on pita bread.I say the lamb is so bland, fries is salty and slaw needs more dressing. Very disappointed on my first try,I was actually very excited because its been a while that never had Mediterranean foods but for sure won't come back anymore

    Greek salad with grilled chicken added, chicken fettuccine Alfredo with chicken.

    Great service. Food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. GREAT menu, I will definitely return to try more things! We enjoyed the tomato bisque, Greek salad with grilled chicken and chicken fettuccine Alfredo.

    This was supposed to be the mixed grill. Ridiculous. Was bland and rubbery.

    Was in town on business, ordered delivery. IT WAS TERRIBLE. I wonder who is supporting this place that it's staying open. My sauces were rancid...this was just bad.

    Spanakopata
    Danielle N.

    Our first time here, because we wanted something different. Our waitress, Dawn, was very nice. We ordered Spanakopata first and 2 lamb Gyros. Everything was delicious. The lamb was a little overcooked for my liking, but it was so good. The tzaziki sauce was yummy and full of flavor. We were too full from lunch to have dessert, so we took some baklava to go. My only disappointment with this Greek place, was that it was more American than anything else. The only other Greek item that I saw, was the Mousaka. When we go back, and we'll be back, I'll try that.

    Rhode Island-style calamari.
    Laura K.

    We had a great time at Kosta's! Our waiter was friendly and the food was fantastic. We're from the Boston area and travel to Maine relatively often, so we will definitely be returning in the future. Try the Rhode Island-style calamari, the fried scallops and the Buffalo mac & cheese and make sure you grab a slice of cheesecake for dessert! You won't be disappointed.

    We got our order to go. Greek salad had no dressing. Food was mediocre. I will not return.

    Really somewhere in the realm of 3.5 stars. Above average but not overly Greek for a Greek restaurant.

    Was on a little road trip this past Sunday and we decided to stop in! Everything we tried was…read moredelish and the bartender we had who seemed somewhat new was great! If we are ever up in the area again we would stop again!

    To get to the point, this place is a hidden gem in Waterville. I came here for lunch last week…read morewhen I was in town to visit the art museum. I selected Opa because of the other great reviews and I like Mediterranean food. I was greeted with a warm welcome as soon as I came in and sat at the bar. I initially got a Greek coffee which was made to order, hot and delicious. Ava, the bartender, was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. I couldn't have asked for more. I ordered the falafel dish and was quickly brought a plate of warm bread and olives in oil. Both were outstanding! Looking over the menu, I noticed they had a few Greek wines so I asked Ava about one interesting one that had hints of fig and tobacco. She immediately poured me a sample to taste and it was delicious so I got a glass. My meal came and it too was really outstanding. Every bite was delicious. To add to my experience, Ava put the Bob Ross channel on the TV above the bar so I got my art experience too. Later, the chef came out and talked to me for a while about travelling to Greece to really study the cuisine. He was clearly continuing to immerse himself in the culture to further perfect his already highly skilled craft. I would highly recommend Opa. What a wonderful total experience.
