Santorini - Las Cruces

Just go! Staff was kind and attentive! Honestly, I went 40 minutes before closing time and was blown away. I had the Lamb Gyro with an added side greek salad it was perfect. I mean freaking perfect. The pita tasted like it just came out of the oven, the meat just carved, and the lettuce could have been plucked from some hydroponic garden they had in the back. Everything was well seasoned, super tasty, hot fresh. Being that I was their last customer of the day, it says a LOT about the place. Their preparation and care of the food being served is superb.

Consistently delicious with great service and a relaxing enrollment. Top pick for LCNM.

Dining out with a group can be a delightful experience, filled with laughter, good food, and cherished moments. However, our recent visit to [Santorini] turned out to be quite the opposite. With six adults and six babies in tow, we anticipated a lively gathering but were met with an atmosphere that felt unwelcoming from the moment we arrived. Arrival and First Impressions Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted not by warm smiles but rather by an air of indifference. The server’s demeanor suggested that our large party was more of a burden than a welcome addition. This initial interaction set the tone for the afternoon; it felt as though we were intruding rather than enjoying a meal in a public space designed for such gatherings. Service Challenges As we settled into our seats, it became apparent that accommodating our needs was not a priority for the staff. We requested high chairs for the babies, which is typically a standard request in family-friendly establishments. Instead of promptly providing them, we were met with hesitation and an almost dismissive attitude. The manager eventually approached us—not to apologize or offer assistance—but to inform us that if we planned to return in the future, we should make a reservation. This comment struck us as particularly ungracious. While we understand that reservations are often necessary for larger groups, it felt inappropriate to suggest this during our visit when we were already present and hoping to enjoy our time together. It left us feeling like unwelcome guests rather than valued customers. Atmosphere and Overall Experience The ambiance of [Santorini] could have been inviting; however, the service overshadowed any potential enjoyment of the surroundings. The lack of warmth from both the server and manager created an uncomfortable environment where laughter was stifled by feelings of being unwelcome. Dining out should be about creating memories and enjoying each other’s company over good food. Unfortunately, this experience did not allow for that; instead, it became an exercise in patience as we navigated through what should have been simple requests. Finally when ticketing out, requesting for a box, the server found it necessary to make a joke stating no, the food had to be eaten before leaving. What a mess.

God food at reasonable price. The dips were the stand out items, the plates and such were good but somewhat boring on their own, need to order the apps to go with

The food is delicious, but the service is consistently always bad. Been here a few times servers will never circle back around after food has been brought to the table for drink water refill. they Also seemed bother not extremely friendly. Being quick for drink refills is a major indicator of how good a server is to me. They are also slow to bring the check too they tend to forgot about you after they have taken your order and bring you food. feta, olives, and other condiments should come automatically with the food the prices are too high to not include things that are typically included with salad at other greek restaurants). Good food for expensive take out, would not recommend dine in. decoration doesn't make sense for a greek restaurant either)
