We visited The Great Dane on our recent holiday to Zante after reading good reports about it on this website. Our 1st visit was ok (nothing exceptional) but on our 2nd visit the meal was TOTAL CRAP!  My husband ordered the medium sized fish and chips and although the fish covered the size of the oval plate it was 60% batter and the chips were cold. I myself ordered the chicken and to say it was overcooked was an understatement. I could not penetrate it with knife nor fork, it was also accompanied by cold chips.We complained to the waiter who went inside to speak to another man (who we took to be the owner) He was too busy playing games on his computer and just did not want to know. He never came to our table to find out the problem or apologise, we were totally ignored. To add insult to injury we were charged THE FULL PRICE. We left there and went to the TASTY STOP restaurant were we had a lovely meal with friendly service. So BEWARE THE GREAT DANE it is not always so great.  

We ate at the Sweet Revenge restaurant a couple of times on our recent holiday to Zante and we could not fault it.The food was lovely and the staff so friendly it was a pleasure to eat there.

On the whole we would agree with previous coments on this website. But it is our opinion that if you were spending money at the hotel the owner was friendly, if not you were tollerated. Unlike the  local restaurants you had to pay for everything on ordering and you had to collect / return your dishes etc to the bar. It would also have been nice to have been able to get a snack or a sandwich after 5:30 as a few times we were on day long trips and did  not get back until 8:30 when we had to shower,change and walk the 20 mins into Tsilivi to eat. We were told by another guest that she had complained about the dog Mikki as it had tried to bite her and her son on more than one occasion, but the owner was not interested. However shortly after the dog disappeared for the rest of the holiday. In all fairness our room was excellent as we had a sea/pool view when we were expecting an inland view. The cleanliness at the hotel was 2nd to none (this was due to the hard working maids). On the whole our stay at the Zante Star was pleasant.
