"My wife and I tried to get in on a Sunday evening, early, but not a chance. The brush-off was kind of brusk, which is why I am only giving stars. But there is a reason why you need a reservation, the food and...service are really good. This time we made reservations for early on a Saturday evening. And, yes, they turned away a lot of people without reservations. We went to the restaurant hungry and could not possibly finish all the food presented. Just full disclosure. German portions than Greek. We started with tzatziki, just since we had not had fresh fzatziki in a long time, and it did not disappoint. I may never be able to eat pre-made fzatziki again. The bread was really good too, hot and fresh. My wife ordered a broccoli appetizer, which was good, but it is hard to screw up broccoli. I ordered the cream of tomato soup, which was amazing, although the promised cream was not present. I could have stopped at this point. My wife ordered three small pork steaks'. They were not small. Not sure what the sides were, she ate them before I had a chance to sample. The chops were not as tender as we have had, but good nonetheless. I ordered the Helena-teller, Giros, ein Suflaki und ein Suzukiyros, I really had no idea what I was ordering, but everything was excellent. Came with tomato rice and fries, both very good. I wish I could have eaten more, but we took the rest home, so there is always tomorrow. Service was prompt and efficient, perhaps a bit understaffed. To my understanding, there are/were only two other Greek restaurants in town, and one has closed or is undergoing renovations, so this is an excellent choice. (We had a good experience at Ambrosia as well, but Platon is not currently in business The quantity of food for the price is a great value. Highly recommended. As long as you call ahead for a reservation!"

"We had planned to go to Plumbohms for a while, as it looked so warm and welcoming. When we eat there tonight, we were very disappointed and let ourselves be cheated a bit. First, the restaurant was not busy yet, but it took an hour until our food arrived. During this time we heard the cooks in the kitchen that screamed like football hooligans, and at one point a waiter went in to tell them to close because the whole restaurant could hear them. When our food arrived, the Polnta Burger had no wort or dressing with salad, so basically raw chopped pieces of beet root and rocket with a very dry Polnta Burger was. The pasta in Gorgonzola and cream sauce contained little gogonzola, but another type of cheese we were told was Harz cheese, this cheese sauce was still solid and in lumps, so the sauce was more like a lumpy porridge consistency. We brought these facts to the attention of the waiter who brought us a pepper mill as dressing on the Polnta Burger with salad, and also told us that the pasta with Gorgonzola cream sauce should look clumpy, as the Harz cheese does not melt even though we were not sure why it contained Harz cheese anyway as it was listed as Gorgonzola. We sat near the kitchen every time the door had opened, we had a clear look at the staff. At one point we saw the cook who caught the waiter, and a lot stood around and made very loud conversation when we had waited for an hour to be served our food. My husband's chair was even hit by the swing door into the kitchen when the waitress marched in and out, it hit his chair with a loud bang, but there was no excuse. To summarize this experience, we felt like we were in an episode of Fawlty Towers, and I really think we would never come back here."
