Recently stayed in san stefanos and wanted to try somewhere different to eat and as lots of people had said ozzy oils was good decided to give it a try my meal was very good but my husband's wasn't so good, we won't be returning not because of the food but the staff, every restaurant we'd been to said thank you when we left shook our hand and said goodnight, but as we left dizzy oils we were totally ignored as we left, so the friendliness was lacking, and thomas is what we love so much about san stefanos the friendliness wherever you go,
-
Who's Thomas?
-
You dont konw!
-
Maybe you would need to go back when Kerry the owner is back at front of house and it would be different again.
-
My phone kept auto correcting it should have said thats not thomas lol and yes we did think kerry not being there affected it but then surely the staff should still be welcoming and friendly as their attitude will affect kerrys business
-
Totally agree with you. We had a similar experience a couple of years ago in Ozzy Oils. To us it had none of the Greek warmth we found in other places.
-

Totally agree, Kerry is great front of house.
Never mind "who is Thomas" who is "dizzy"
-
I once went to school with a lad called Thomas Bay
-
Unfortunately we also had similar experience when owner was there a few years ago - we have never been back - shame
-
Last year we had a similar experience and did not return and this was when the owner was there, the food/service was just not up to scratch and we both left most of the meal and we got no goodbye or thank you when we left, I found this strange because a couple of years previously the food was great and we received a warm welcome. Plenty of other places to dine at though
-
Have never been from when it opened,didnt appeal to us.Kerry did a great job up at romanza when it reopened the new reception etc.she was in charge of the bbq nights.

must be dizzy thomas lol
LOL

In our experience have always found the food and the staff to be great. Even Nicos the chef (Kerry's hubby ) makes a point of seeing us. Love it there.
-
Quite agree Jules, always find it great there, excellent food (especially BBQ Night) Kerry is the perfect host.

Looks like we have all had different experiences then and that I suppose would be the reason why we would eat there again or not!

A couple of years ago we went to Ozzy Oils for a meal but didn't like the menu and have never been back since. Can't put my finger on why really but if I was pressed I would say we prefer the old part of the village.
-
We've been going to Ag Stef for many, many years and I can say that we've not had a bad meal in any taverna, that said we do have our preferences
-
Usually eat at Ozzy Oils two or three times when in SS one being the BBQ night, have always had a friendly welcome and tasty food. OK it's not "Greek" but we enjoy different dishes hence Ozzy and Beachcomer visits with the other nights being Greek meals. Having said that each to his own, however have to say never had a poor meal in either SS or Arillas. Almost down to single figures now before arrival.
-
We always said Beachcomber wasn't for us, having said that we hadn't tried it, just gone on the menu. Then this year decided to give it a go and were blown away and went 3 times, can't wait to return in sept. What we thought looked rather austere inside couldn't have been further from the truth, lovely food, lovely welcome, lovely staff, no not lovely food -stunning food.
-
We visited Ozzy Oil when we were over there last week and although the food was lovely as always the atmosphere was definitely lacking without Kerry there. The staff members were polite enough but I must agree everywhere else are so eager to greet you when you walk in and shake your hand as you are leaving but there was none of this. Won't stop me going back though.
-
I think we'll give it another go when we return in September.
-
We've always had lovely meals at Ozzy Oils and really enjoy eating there. We were always keen BBQ goers, we didn't really enjoy the quiz tacked onto the BBQ night last year though, we found it a bit too much enforced fun. We'll definitely be back for more meals in August however.
-
Must admit we were not too fussed on the quiz at the end on the BBQ night, it went in far too long. The food was good though, both times we went. It was just other guests that just happened to be there both times we were there that spoilt our night. Hopefully we will be trying it again this year and it being a more relaxed atmosphere than the last twice!!

Thought you were going in a July, why not try it then, it's a nice place to buy "someone special" a supper?
-
Agree about the quiz Jacksi, We won it last year, just because the questions were exactly the same as previous occasions
-
We were not impressed when we went a few years ago. Hence, another try, when we go back in September and not on half-board.
-
We have always enjoyed our meals there, sometimes,we just fancy a change from Greek food,so we go Aussie. The pie and mash is fabulouse and the breaded perch is also excellent. When we went in June this year,Kerry was still in Australia.The couple who were standing in for her were a bit out of their depth,but were trying their best.Now Kerry is back i am sure you will see the difference,we will be eating there again in August,can,t wait.
-
Agree with you Allanm, the pie and mash is gorgeous, as is the BBQ night, the one meal I couldn't eat very easily was the Mangaroo (mango & kangaroo), it kept jumping off the plate.
Only joking Kerry!
-
Missed Kerry at front of house in June this year, but hey -the food was great.....
-
Eating there in about an hour
