Great wine bar in the heart of Whitchurch. Perfect for pre dinner drinks!

I loved the food .. the atmosphere and the friendly staff. I ordered a takeaway after work. It was amazing and definitely will go back again. It is like a small, cosy restaurant, and all the decorations made me nostalgic. I remembered my trip to Turkey. I forgot to take pictures 😂

Our friends and us had a lovely meal, the service was super and nothing was too much trouble. They explained the menus and made sure everything was clear. The food was delicious and made a nice change to the normal fare we often get. There were no complaints and the bill was reasonable.

The online booking system via ‘Open Table‘ works and we were greeted and shown to our table on arrival. The room was nice and warm and we received menus swiftly. When we were asked for our drinks choice, we decided on 2 cocktails and a bottle of red Greek wine. I chose the most expensive wine and was told that they didn’t have any left. So I asked for the next best Greek red wine to be told that they don’t have any because they were waiting for a delivery. As we were about to order the Meat Meze for 4 people (a Tapas-style menu with a variety of dishes), we did not want white wine with it and also did not want to order any non-Greek wine, which would have defeated the object. Since the only one left now was the Greek house red, we went for that. The cocktails, according to our 2 ladies at the table, were delicious but small but the house red was in a bottle without any label and tasted thin and instantly forgettable. The first course of the Meze arrived promptly and comprised of Greek salad, pitta breads and dips (hummus, tzatziki and tahini), which all looked nice and seemed freshly made. The pitta bread was nice, warm and fluffy. This was followed by a course of dolmades (rice-filled vine leaves), meatballs and butterbeans in tomato sauce. So far, so good but unfortunately this is where the positives ended for me. By that time the Greek music blaring from the loudspeaker was loud enough to compete with our conversation. The music had also switched from melodic instrumental Greek music to some woman and man singing songs in an agitated voice that suggested to us that some tragedy must have happened!! Then a bowl of chips arrived but nothing else, so we were waiting for the main meat dish of chicken and pork skewers and sausages. Time to contemplate the decoration in the room: If we were looking forward to some nice Greek-style décor, we had clearly chosen the wrong time to go, as the room was full of Halloween stuff mixed with leftover decoration from (brace yourselves) the Munich Oktoberfest (beer festival in Germany)!! The first ‘thing’ to arrive (before the meat dish) was the house cat, which would have been a nice authentic touch to the evening (if you have ever been to Greece, you will appreciate my sentiment) if it wasn’t in conflict with any restaurant hygiene 101. In anticipation of the meat course, the cat took up its position under our table begging for attention. The meat did arrive once we had eaten 3⁄4 of the chips (which were nice) but having eaten pork & chicken skewers in Greece many times, the chicken was on the dry side and the pork tough and hard to cut. By the time we had eaten and finished the bottle of red wine (which has zero effect on us) I was pleading with our table guests to pay up and go before my ears started bleeding due to the relentless yodelling coming from the loudspeaker. In summary: There are certain things that makes me reluctant to recommend this place. • They allow dogs as well as their own cat to roam the place. • Nobody asked if we had ever set foot into a Greek restaurant or have ever been to Greece and therefore know, how a ‘Meze’ works. • Not being able to serve Greek wine in a Greek restaurant even though, if a delivery has been delayed, they could have sourced Greek wine in the many supermarkets and wine outlets in Shrewsbury, is quite simply unforgivable!! • The décor needed to shout GREECE, not Halloween, not Germany, not . . . ! and the music needed to be BACKGROUND music and not shout at all. • The food was neither bad nor exceptional but throughout our visit nobody ever asked what we thought of it. I say ‘nobody’ . . . the reason for which might lie in the fact that we only ever saw the waitress who served us. No owner, no other staff, no cook, no Greeks!!

Our first visit to the Mediterraneo Taverna on Friday evening and we were very pleasantly surprised. Charlie our waitress was just great, friendly, helpful and with a big smile to go with it We sat upstairs in a cosy room and shared a mixed platter, a spinach pie, and fries, all tasted like we were back in Greece and really good portions Looking forward to going back

Dinner here with my wife yesterday was lovely. The food was great, and the atmosphere perfect! I'd say the customer service from the 3 waitresses was fantastic - welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone searching for a lovely meal. We shared 6 oysters, seafood paella and crab/ lobster cocktail. All 3 dishes were grand! If we're ever in the area again, we'll 100% be visiting 👍🏻

This was our third time going to The George but unfortunately will not be going back. We sat in the bar area due to having a small dog with us. We stood waiting for a member of staff for over 5 minutes, before going and finding someone to ask for our table. She was very dismissive and seemed annoyed we were there. We were then sat at the wrong table. It took over 45 minutes for the food to arrive, with starters being forgotten, and dishes were luke warm. I felt quite sorry for the one member of staff on the bar who seemingly had to serve people drinks, take food orders, collect plates of food, clear the tables and sort out the bill without any help from other members of staff. It is a shame as the food itself is of a high quality, if a bit on the pricey side, and the restaurant caters well for various dietary requirements. We left feeling more of an inconvenience than a valued customer and won't be returning.

We was quite a large group but they fit us in no problems. The girl serving us was lovely and made sure everyone got their drinks even though they was asking for fiddly things. Couldn’t fault our meal it was just proper food done to a proper standard. Lovely central location and easy to get round town.
