Zak's Greek Restaurant - WEST LAKES

I am super disappointed. We came to Zak's to celebrate something important with a nice dinner. It has the slowest service ever (not for the first time). This time we got one entree almost 40 minutes later because "they stuffed up in the kitchen". Then waited for the mains almost as long and watched it to be delivered to the other table by mistake! Waited some more. Miscommunication in the kitchen, as we were told. 9 tables to serve on Friday night surely shouldn't be the rocket science! Brought the mains. My steak was raw mostly instead of medium rare and I couldn't even eat it. The manager offered $5 discount on top of our Entertainment book discount! I couldn't believe it! Absolutely shocking! Wouldn't recommend this awful place to anyone ever!

Lovely view to the water. Staff were friendly and helpful. Meal was OK..but for the price, underwhelming. After paying the bill we realised that the 3 dips we ordered to share , for $17, is served without bread. Hence it was $2 per serve for pitta to add to it to eat it. For 4 of us, it was $8 plus the $17..dips were quite nice. Main meals were OK too but underwhelming. Used our Entertainment card which helped pay. Coffee by the water eas nice.BYO was $15 corkage which is fair. Would we come back? Probably not.

We've been to Zac's several times for a quick dinner on a nice summer night. The food is nice enough for the price and is tasty. We often get the seafood platter and share and it's plenty of food for the both of us. It's nice to sit outside by the lake and watch the sun set in the distance and the sky change color. If you live locally you should give them a try for a nice casual meal with family or friends.

Just not what it used to be!  I've been coming to Zak's for years. It always offered fantastic greek food, nice ambience and friendly efficient service.  The new management has really let this place go and it lacks what used to be great about it. Food is ok, but just average. Standard grilled meats / seafood which you could cook at home. Flavours were fine, but nothing like it used to be (i found myself looking for more salt/pepper/lemon). The produce didnt seems as good - prawns were tiny and chevapchichis looked like the ones you buy at coles. And the servings are not anywhere near as generous as previous. You used to not be able to finish your meal. This time, we ate it all and weren't stuffed.  Speaking of not being generous: I found it strange that a platter for 2 only had one of everything on it (i.e. one tiny piece of whiting, one skewer with 3 tiny prawns).Service was efficient enough and not unfriendly, but it just seemed too casual. We were greeted with a 'how yous goin' and it just seemed like the waitress didnt genuinely care to be there or enjoy serving people. It just felt a bit sloppy. The place has great potential and is in a beautiful setting, but feels a little dated. It could do with a freshen up of paint, furniture, and even crockery, which seemed to  have stains on it.  Sadly, I dont think we'll be back. Estia is just down the road and far superior.
