The Mythos on the ex captain Octopus/original 2 Asteria site had a spit roast most days-either lamb or suckling pig.
Quite slow service but very busy and decent food.

From what I have been hearing this place has taken off quite well,plenty of good feed back.

That's good to hear Maggie, is it mainly Greek food?

worst 2 meals ever in Mythos, 1st meal wrong steak served fillet instead of sirloin, never ever known a fillet as tough and fatty, 2nd meal went on recommendation fish and chips, fish in batter was burnt till black, chips were McDonalds fries.... still frozen.. hope this helps 🙁

Noted ;D will be giving that one a miss!

That is interesting,because I put a review on Trip Adviser saying that they were new -only been open 2 days when we went,so although the daily spit roast (pork/lamb) was popular other stuff took a long time to arrive and the food was standard Greek food nothing outstanding.
All reviews I have read since give them full marks so I thought I was being harsh.
I can’t say we have ever had a really good steak anywhere over the years we’ve been going and I have never eaten fish and chips there.

So hearing mixed reviews. Some friends we spoke to today weren't overly impressed with it.
-
Some of our other friends tried it last night and were very pleased with their meal, tasty and plentiful and very attentive :)

Yes there seems a lack in consistency,so many different opinions.

Of course Maggie, it's down to personal taste, for instance, I like all my meat well done, some would call it burnt ;D

Yes my OH is the same.
We had a meal out here Sunday and he said his lamb wasn’t cooked enough.
I eat a lot of fish everyone does whole fish now.
I do miss Alex at Captain Octopus and his lobster.

We tried Mythos last night.
Mhairi had the special of Stifado with garlic bread. Feedback was excellent, although portions were massive.
I had t-bone steak special and baked feta in Greek tomato sauce. The fillet side of the tbone was superb, the sirloin side was a wee bit chewy, but I'd no problems finishing it. The main thing. it was tasty. It came with a mustard sauce on the side.
The baked feta was out of this world. It was terrific.
Speed of service was excellent. We sat down around 8.30 and were eating our starters about 8.45. Our mains came just after 9.
Our food was washed down with the 1 litre house red.
In summary, for a grand bill of €33, we would recommend it.
Yammas.

Sounds great value, loftyscot :)

That sounds superb LS.

Went to Mythos last night and was very disappointed. Starter of saganaki was like a doorstep which wasnt to be able to be finished as the mains arrived.
Our chicken fillet was burnt to a crisp. Chips were cold and like string and to top it all the carafe of wine was awful.
What a shame, this is first bad meal we've had. I think the cook needs some advice.
:(

Did you complain or just pay up and go? I have never eaten there but some other people seem to like it. I don't think it's really fair to give a bad review on the forum, maybe they were just having a bad day, they may have had staff problems. Let people find out for themselves if they don't like it they won't go back.
-
Not the usual standard then

Exactly. This is why we don’t have naming and shaming on our FB page. Any problems should always be taken up with the establishment owners.

We all have our favourites and our own ideas.
I have on occasions had something served which was not up to scratch and have usually found the restaurant staff to be more than willing to put things right.
