From booking to leaving The Othello, nothing was too much trouble, greeted very professionally,shown to our table and given menus, not felt rushed at all despite the restaurant being fairly busy. All four of us opted for the Scallops as a starter - Definitely a good decision as they were cooked to perfection and very tasty. The main course choices were two Prawn Provençals, a Steak Diane and a Steak Rossini, the food was absolutely fabulous with an ample choice of vegetables. I seem a little bias to this restaurant, but over the years we have been coming to The Othello, we never have had a bad meal or had to complain about anything. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. Staff First Class.

On entering the restaurant we were met by a very friendly lady who took us to our table. The restaurant was beautifully set out and to a high standard. We ordered drinks and were surprised when our large glasses of house white ordered arrived as 2 small individual 187ml bottles. We both ordered the slow cooked lamb which was in part a bit dry. The accompanying Greek roast potatoes were delicious but the set vegetables of carrots and sugersnap peas underwhelming. The staff were all very friendly and attentive.

What a superb, friendly, family place this is. The service was perfect and the waitress actually said she really enjoyed working there – it showed too. We chose Greek and had moussaka and klefdiko, both revelations and showing how to cook native food properly. A beer or two and then a shared Baklava with ice cream rounded off a great evening. Not surprisingly, the restaurant was nearly full in contrast to where we’d eaten the evening before.

This has been one of our favourite restaurants for years and we have really missed going over the last two years for obvious reasons. We made up for it last week as we were celebrating our birthdays. Happy to say , as always, the food was absolutely top class. My husband had Kleftido which he said just melted in his mouth while I had the Moussaka which was equally delicious. We had just returned from a lovely holiday in the Greek islands so it was really nice to keep the greek trend going for a bit longer. The staff at the resturant could not have been nicer and it was really nice to be back. Special mention must go to Simon and his team for helping us out during the first lockdown as we had a takeaway meal which was also superb, no substitute for dining in this lovely restaurant of course, but which we intend to do again as soon as possible. Many thanks for such a lovely evening!

Needed a light lunch before an event in the afternoon, and this was ideal. Able to book in advance, service excellent, limited lunch menu but did the job well, and they were happy to accept 'starter + dessert' rather than having to challenge a full meal. Love the linen rather than disposable, and even 'greek' cutlery. The only thing stopping it being 5-star was the view out of the window, which wasn't inspiring to say the least.

The service here was second to none. The food was very, very nice but oh my goodness! There was far too much food on every plate for every course! How they make a profit is beyond me! Please, please take at least half the food off the plates, especially the salad. It will still be divine and you may even start to make a profit! This restaurant is not suitable for wheelchairs as there are lots of stairs to climb. If I’m in Grimsby again, I will definitely return to this restaurant

Last night we had a meal delivered from the Othello for my husband's birthday. The food was fantastic, complete with free wine, but was somewhat marred by the fact that one of the starters was missing. I rang to tell them and they were extremely apologetic and said they would deliver it to us the next evening. We have just taken delivery of 2 x main course size servings complete with potatoes, vegetables and more wine! A very generous and satisfactory response. This restaurant cannot be surpassed for its fantastic food, pleasant staff and incredible customer service.

We have been several times whilst in Grimsby to Othello's what lovely staff and atmosphere. the menu is small but every meal we have has been deliciously. Portions are larger than normal we would say . we have tried everything from kleftiko, steak, moussaka, halibut, to scampi and others. Not forgetting the baklava. the greek potatoes are yummy but so are the garlic roasted and the veg always fresh! We really like this place, a must try if you haven't been. If you want something specific why not let them know I am sure they will do their best!

Most restaurants in Grimsby on a Monday seem to be shut, so we were especially fortunate in finding Othello open and serving very generous and delicious meals. We chose fillet steak and kleftiko (and ALSO a hummus and tzatziki starter all followed by baklava with sorbet!) which were wonderfully tender. Simon indulged our sharing our meals with good humour and great generosity. We left with the most gourmet doggie bags imaginable, and in the best of spirits. Happy to recommend for any day of the week!

Attended here with 6 friends. I had been told this was the best steak in town and I really was looking forward to it. Attended at 830 as was the booking time and told that there was no fillet steak. Strange that a restaurant has ran out on a Saturday night of one of the most popular orders. I ordered the chicken kebab. I had high hopes that this would justify the £8 price tag. I was wrong. Some diced chicken breast Thrown in some spices, doesn’t make it a kebab. 0/10 so far. I then ordered the steak, not fillet, served on toasted bread and pate. Yet again. I found myself massively disappointed with the food. The steak or whatever meat it was was awful and inedible. I took it home for my dog and even he turned his nose up. -5/10For a venue that relies on return customers, you have let yourself down. This wasn’t one of the 6. This was all of us. I won’t be seeing The Othello again and if it continues this level of service. Not many others will.

A lovely place with very modern and stylish decor, the host was wonderful and went the extra mile to make our 1st wedding anniversary special. The food was exemplary In pretty much every way, for starters my wife had the garlic mushrooms and I had the chicken kebab which were both very tasty. For main course I had the Tournados Rossini, the sauce was different to what I've previously had and enjoyed at other places, that said the steak, pate and croton were perfect. My wife had the Beef Stroganoff which was beautiful. Would I visit Othello again, for sure... Would I have the Tournedos Rossini again, probably not which is a shame.

Every Friday during Lockdown we have ordered a take away from the Othello and what a wonderful treat it has been . The food is delivered on time usually by Terry -who is so friendly and obliging - and comes in easy to serve containers with the main course usually served separately on plates . The food is always piping hot and so delicious ! We’ve both celebrated our birthdays and our wedding Anniversary during Lockdown and Simon and Jordan have excelled with wonderful menus . We’ve had mussels, scallops , Dover Sole , plaice and halibut as well as the more traditional Greek dishes like Lamb Kleftiko. Every meal has been wonderful and cooked to perfection - just like in the restaurant . We’ve missed our regular visits to the Othello and can’t wait for the Restaurant to open again soon but in the meantime Simon, Jordan and the staff, not forgetting Terry , have made our Friday nights and our birthdays etc so special that we just had to say a big “Thank You “ to them all from Sue and Paul .

For my husband’s birthday, during the present C-19 lockdown, we telephoned an advance order for 2 starters and 2 mains. The food arrived within minutes of the time we’d agreed, hot and well-packaged (recyclable paper bags and re-useable plastic containers). I had a choice of paying over the phone or, (as I did, ) paying cash to the delivery man. No delivery charge ( and very kindly, a complimentary bottle of birthday wine). He stood at a socially recommended distance from my door, having placed the items on my step. Gloved and masked, he accepted the cash and stepped away again. All very careful but an undoubtedly friendly exchange.Our meal was delicious .... liver pate ; smoked salmon salad; moussaka; roasties ; broccoli and carrots. Enjoyed every bit of it. Good -sized portions ( in fact we ate the beautiful Greek salad that accompanied the meal next day for lunch as we couldn’t quite manage it that night). We will be repeating our custom. We were very happy with the whole experience and have passed on our thoughts to friends. Highly recommended.

A difficult one to review, as the food was quite good, the restaurant was nice and the staff pleasant. But, it was not not quite right somehow. We went to the Othello as we do like a good Greek restaurant, but most of the menu was not really Greek food, and what was did not taste very Greek. We had a moussaka, which was ok, but served with cauliflower cheese, green beans and crushed roast potatoes? The other meal was Klefdiko, a Greek lamb dish, although it was nice, it tasted the same as the Wetherspoons lamb shank! With the vegetables it was served with it made a nice Sunday lunch. The only time anyone asked if the food was ok was when we paid, and we also noticed a specials board, a bit late as we were about the leave. Most customers appeared to be having steak, maybe that is where we went wrong, we should have not gone expecting anything Greek.

I was recommended this place by the Holiday inn hotel staff. The staff Julie and Olivia were attentive and professional and for a solo traveller made it a pleasant experience. The starter of mussels was probably one of the best I have ever had and was an unexpected delight. I then decided on the Porterhouse steak which I found did not quite match the excellence of the starter and was a dicappointment in that it was in my opinion a bit dry.

Went for lunch here today and was totally disappointed. Firstly as you go in you are faced with a couple of flights of stairs and it's not very welcoming. Most of the tables are set up for large parties. Don't take any notice of the menu on the website because that is not the lunch menu and to be honest doesn't match the dinner menu either. Pate, Pie and chips and Fish and Chips doesn't smack of Greece to me. Where was my Meze! My starter was a spinach and filo parcel. One on my plate looked like someone had had it before me! All pastry no filling. The monkish and cod cheeks were ok but we couldn't differentiate between the two. Mains. Mum had the crab platter. This looked like a defrosted crab - not even a dressed crab - with 4 large prawns on the side with a teaspoon full of seafood sauce - not what I would call a 'platter'. Moussaka tasted OK but a bit more meat wouldn't have been amiss. What's with the English cheese on top! Kleftiko was nice but a very sparse plate. We booked in for 12.30 and ordered what we wanted but by 1 p.m. the crab and kleftiko were off the menu. If we had come in at that time then we would have left and gone elsewhere. Oh and if you want to pay by card be prepared because their internet is dreadful and this may cause embarrassment. I have never ever given such a bad review

I have visited the Othello on a number of occasions over the years and have never been disappointed. This time we opted to have the Greek Meze, which needs to be ordered in advance. The meal was great. Plenty of different dishes that just keep coming. It starts with dips and hot strips of Pitta bread and Greek salad followed by fish dishes and then meat with desert to finish. Great value by todays standards for the amount of food you get. The service, as always, was excellent.

Came to this Local Restaurant for a Birthday treat. Food can't be faulted, but the service was poor. Starter didn't need cooking, but took ages to arrive, main was good, but after that the staff seemed more interested in setting the tables for the next day, rather than attending to the customers in the restaurant. If your paying a reasonable amount for a meal, you should at least expect to be attended to. Would have had a sweet, but no sweet menu offered. Tip to restaurant, couples are as important as big groups. Won't return.

This restaurant was founded in the 70s - I think that’s when they last updated the menu. Food was a strange interpretation of Greek - lettuce in Greek salad, macoroni dish?! We had a meze - couldn’t eat some plates. Service was ok. Staff were friendly. Overall below average. I won’t be going back.

We as friends have eaten here a few times now and I have to say it’s fantastic we have been seated In the small room upstairs which for us was ideal, the menu on offer is perfect and something for any taste is available, I have to stay the staff are very attentive and friendly and nothing is to much trouble, drinks available is also plentiful so I’m sure it won’t disappoint, we are looking forward to many more visits to this establishment and I would recommend it to anyone, oh and the best bit is the bill very reasonable and cheaper than most of its competitors in the area, well done team othello keep up the good work you should be proud

Always heard positive things from friends about how nice this place is but have never been before Monday evening. The waitress on shift was lovely, sat us down swiftly in a window seat and took drinks order. Opted for a platter to share as a starter. The fried halloumi was amazing and the rest was nice and light not too filling before mains. I chose veal Parmesan as my main and mum ordered kleftiko as these were foods we had never tried and shared them between us. Both were great, tender and full of flavour. Homemade raspberry cheesecake for dessert was a nice finish to the meal.

Visited for my partners birthday along with mum and brother and we all really enjoyed our evening. The service from the young lady was excellent, nice and attentive without being too full on. Pate starter was great and the moussaka was full of flavour and cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back

I really liked this place and enjoyed the “different” take on certain traditional dishes. My smoked salmon starter was hot and a pleasant surprise. The pan fried sea bass was really tasty also. A very acceptable Sancerre accompanied our dinner. Service was relaxed and rather fun - in fact the whole evening was extremely relaxed and pleasant.

absolutely ruined our night. we left not even halfway through the meze. one bowl brought to the table at a time never experienced anything like it very slow. calamari so thick in batter you could barely taste the fish. ended up paying £20 for the privelage which meant we were out of pocket to go elsewhere. not our fault There Was only one chef we could have been warned there was long waits. booked it as a meze before we arrived could have been told at that point to expect slow service. Awful

My partner and I live in Grimsby. I moved up last year and have been searching for a restaurant (not pub food). Had enough of chips and mass produced "stodge". Othello's is a massive find! Classy but humble. The starter, pate was fabulous. My partner had chicken a la creme and described it as mouth wateringly fabulous. House white wine was well priced and complimented well. My choice was Aphrodite Style Veal and they kindly held any garlic (I hate garlic overpowering a meal). The vegetables were perfect with cauliflower-cheese as one. My only comment to the restaurant was to ensure the veal is not overcooked next time as it wasn't a cheap option, but did challenge my jaw. A minor negative in an otherwise perfect evening meal. Staff were attentive and welcoming. We will definitely be making Othello a regular 'special'treat.

Had dinner with family who praised the place beforehand so expectations were high. It met them. Friendly, accommodating staff. Service excellent, minor issue sorted immediately. Slight wait for the starter but well worth the wait. Excellent quality food, good portions and attentive staff. Décor not the best but I am interested in the food and company rather than the surroundings. Can’t give 4.5 so it will have to be a 5; deservedly so.

Took my folks on 1st June, for my mum's birthday. And as always they did not disappoint. The food was all fantastic, my father claiming it was the best steak that he has ever had. We all had different meals, and they were all delicious.

Booked a table of 8 for a Saturday lunchtime, on arrival (opens 12 - 2.0pm), quite a few diners in but the service was 1st Class. There was a good menu selection all competitively priced. We all had a wide choice of food,Soup (Smoked Haddock), absolutely superb! Prawns, etc . Main courses comprised of Kleftico (Greek Lamb), Pasta, and Great Grimsby Haddock - Brilliant ! I would definitely recommend anyone thinking of going anywhere for a lunchtime meal - Try The Othello - You won’t be disappointed.

Firstly Friendly staff but an empty restaurant with drab dated decor. Food was tasty well I enjoyed my dish, the prawn Provençale but weirdly this was served with broccoli and cauliflower cheese...not very Greek. Others in my group said food was alright but nothing special think all in All place is ruined by atmosphere or lack of, no music and empty. Could be loads better real shame.

We have just returned from a family meal out at the Othello, and as usual, we were not at all disappointed. To be honest the whole quality of the food and service seems to have gone up a notch or two beyond my previous 5* review. Can't say enough about this place. Simon and the team are so welcoming, and always deliver. Thanks again for a superb night out.

Lovely waiting staff under far too much pressure . Restaurant completely overbooked. It felt like a school dining hall not the lovely restaurant it usually is . Table booked for 8.30 , pre -ordered all meals . Waited an hour for starter and eventually got main at 10.40 pm. Not happy bunnies

Called to book and lunch available 12-2 and fantastic menu at very reasonable prices. We opted for chicken kebab and sea bass and great choice I’d fully recommend. The lady serving was very welcoming and made us feel very welcome. We’ll be going again.

We had not visited this restaurant under the present owners so decided to give it a try as a friend of ours recommended it. It was very nice. The food was well cooked, and well presented. The atmosphere was cheerful and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals.The food is Greek but there are plenty of other choices too including a delicious Porterhouse steak.I would recommend trying this restaurant. You won't be disappointed.

A delightful restaurant right in the centre of Grimsby, its lunchtime menu is very varied and excellent prices. The tables are set with beautifully folded napkins on traditional linen tablecloths, along with great food and a very pleasant waitress. Do visit !

The website says that reservations can only be made by telephone. However, when I tried ringing them at dinner time and evening on two separate occasions no one answered the phone.

Friends said Othello was their favourite restaurant in Grimsby and as we have not lived her very long they said why not try it, so we did. We went along with them on a Friday evening.It was busy, so we were glad we booked, a must at the weekend we heard later. The staff were very friendly at the bar area and the waiting staff too which is always a good sign. They were also professional which was a plus too.The menu looked very interesting even on line and there were specials while we were there. We all started with scallops, fresh with a little spinach, ginger and lemon, lovely.The main courses were great too, I'd have liked to share them with you here but after a bottle of excellence house red and then one of white or was it the other way round and a night cap I have clearly forgotten. But all four mains were great.We also met the chef owner Simon Elmhirst, when things quietened down a bit, what a nice friendly down earth chap he was and certainly knows his way around the kitchen and clearly finding excellent staff. Our visit was a surprise because finding such a warm friendly restaurant in the heart of Grimsby and just a very short walk away from where we live. We shall be certainly calling in again for dinner very soon. Thanks Simon and the team

Othello is a smart, modern, elegant Greek restaurant in Bethlehem st Grimsby. Its first floor location does make for difficult access for diabled guests but I see that as only potential downside to restaurant. Very warm welcome and high levels of service- attentive but not over baring. Efficient and friendly. Mainly Greek dishes on menu but other european/international dishes also featured- ie chicken stroganoff. Dishes made up from quality ingredients and presented well on plate. Generous portions and whilst prices are perhaps top end for location, it is not overpriced given quality of dining experience.
