Dionysos - Stade

A 1980s time capsule of a Mediterrainian restaurant anywhere in Europe. A warmer evening than this, Stade has lots of better places to offer.

I enjoyed my meal at Dionysos. Service was friendly. The quality of the food is high, but the restaurant definitely needs a makeover!!

Ate here twice in my one-week trip to Stade. Had a dish that was a mix of gyro lamb and pork that was excellent. Thought it was odd to have greek without hummus though. Service was nice. Don't pass on the ouzo after your meal.

Stopped in for lunch and was not disappointed, complimentary soup with the grill teller which was a very good size and under 10 euro. Decor is shabby Greek and don't look down as the carpet is threadbare and dirty so just as well we ate from the table. Service was ok but waiter seemed friendly but bored and more interested in his tie than our order, saying that the meals were quick and we were out of there in under an hour satisfied.

We were served a good Greek red wine, having told the host that we knew nothing of Greek wine. It was all downhill from there. The lamb special dish had great flavor, but the meat was as dry and tough and any could imagine. I could not finish eating it, despite a lovely flavor of the preparation .Then after an interminable wait with no service, we wanted something else, so of the choice of yogurt or ice cream, we chose ice cream with whipped cream. The ice cream was at best "institutional" and the whipped cream, which cost .50 each, had the taste of corn oil or something that was not cream.All in all, not a good experience, and my jaws are sore from trying to chew half of the main course.
