Generous portions

Fine dining is often associated with what might be considered less than generous portions. This is considered to be a form of sophistication and elegant dining to satisfy adventurous taste pallets rather than eating to simply get full. Considering the exorbitant price tags slapped on some of these meals in high-end dining restaurants, some might find it less than appealing to dine in such establishments. The Santorini Restaurant and Seafood Market is, however, in complete contrast to this. 

While the price tags might still be on the higher end, it helps to know that it is a known fact that good seafood is not supposed to be cheap. On the bright side, however, a platter for one can easily be mistaken for a platter for two. This is due to the sheer amount of seafood that comes loaded on your platter containing different types of seafood. 

For instance, a serving of what the establishment refers to as the “mixed grill from the planca” comes with a whole host of seafood. This particular serving includes rings of squid, an enormous king prawn, a half lobster, sizeable shrimp, a moderately sized sea bass filet, and a few slip slope filets. All this is not without what cranks up the entire meal’s flavor profile. These flavors are elevated by additions such as spices, herbs, buttered garlic, and ripe tomato sauce right at the bottom. This is quite the meal to make for part of a multiple-course meal. It does rationalize the price tag on that meal.

Ideal dining environment

Restaurants depend on diners developing loyal tendencies keeping them coming back for more. Part of what makes diners loyal to a particular establishment, apart from the meals being offered, would be the setting and the vibe the whole environment gives off. Most of the time, the decision on where to dine is made based on the occasion. For instance, there are locations where you would only consider dining during very special events. High-end restaurants that are usually hard to get a reservation to in the first place are usually ideal for rare and extremely special events. Another location could be chosen on the basis of regular dining. This is best informed by the prices as well as the environment in which a meal can be enjoyed. 

The Santorini Restaurant and Seafood Market both have moderate prices considering what they serve and as well the environment to enhance and support social interaction. Dealing with seafood can be quite an unpleasant experience for the kitchen staff. This has been taken into consideration while designing floor space to ensure there is enough room to prevent congestion while there being enough space and ventilation to promote sufficient airflow. These considerations aid in enhancing the dining experience at this establishment.
