What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Greek on the Docks is lauded for its authentic Greek cuisine, generous portions, and stunning waterfront setting. Diners rave about the flavorful dishes, attentive service, and the overall pleasant atmosphere, making it a top choice for various occasions. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, some minor issues like table allocation or slightly under-seasoned fries have been noted.
"Fantastic meal here for my Mum's birthday.
We did book a table, and it was a beautiful warm day. Was a bit sad that we didn't get a front table overlooking the docks, but there were a lot having walk ins. Topped off by getting an email later in the day to confirm my booking was cancelled (but I was sat there!).
However, that's a minor point.
The rest of it was fantastic. So much choice in terms of food! It was really beautiful!!
We had 3 courses and each course was excellent value for money!
Quality was fantastic as was the service. So we will definitely return, and try something new!
The only thing i would love to see on the menu perhaps is more variation of souvlaki? Like chicken and pork. But that's just me, and I'm just suggesting.
Overall, it was FANTASTIC and we will definitely come back. For a 3 course meal for 3 people with wine it came to £127."

"Excellent food here, we were initially excited that it had a vegan menu, which is quite extensive!
We had the fried courgettes, and quinoa with sorbet (surprisingly good combination) as starters, and the aubergine bake, and vegan gyros as mains. All phenomenal. If I had to critique any part of it I would say that the fries were a little under-seasoned, but that's really splitting hairs. My vegan 'meat' in the gyro was incredible, not like anything I'd had before, and I suspect, made in-house. The mayo was really nice too, not too greasy at all.
It was very busy when we were there, but they were still very quick with our food/bill, etc. and so friendly and personable.
We took our dessert to go as we were stuffed, but still wanted to try it.
We had three courses each, which cost around £30 each (minus tips), which I think is pretty reasonable for how good the food and service was."

"Feta cheese wrapped in filo pastry, smothered in honey with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Bake until perfect, and serve. You'll be forgiven if you think you've died and gone to Greek heaven. This truly is Ambrosia, the food of the Gods. My dining companions were equally as impressed. The spinachy mushrooms in the cheesey deliciousness can only be described as remarkable. We've already established that this northern geezer doesn't do bunny food, so my main course was served with a 'northern salad', chips in a feta sauce. Carbs with carbs. It's a good job I had plenty of insulin with me. The mixed grill, I was led to believe, was a delightful array of assorted meats and the Souvlaki Thalassinon was exceptional. The swordfish stood out, the rice was even better. There was no room for pudding. Our host (with the most), Sakis, turned out to be the star of the show. A marvellous geezer with a great sense of humour. If you're ever hungry in Gloucester you can do no better than to scurry along to Greek on the Docks."
