Well, that was one of the best meals we have had on this island,also a pretty mean brandy sour or two. Thank you Liz and Guido ( now that might not be spelled right! think brandy sour) also it was nice to see James again he certainly knows how to look after the diners.



Well done to you all and we will see you for Sunday lunch.



Liz, Mary and Marg

sorry you feel like that, but as this was the first time we had been there and as I don't make a habit of reading all the other posts i thought that it would be nice to give credit where credit was due. Had it been a chippy in some obscure place that served excellent food we would have posted that to!!

Yes been there last week. Pretty ordinary fare. These people who write such rave reviews must be easily pleased. A waste of a night and a waste of a babysitter.

Oh Dear !



you can,t please everyone all off the time can you ?

For NC I think Guidos is pretty good,

Try Efendi, Verandah, Archway, Missina for a change of cuisine,



Good luck & happy holidays

Yup Efendi was fab. Missina delicious fish. They both make Guidos look like a greasy spoon.

I have nothing agin' Guidos. But we are getting overload on new threads.



Can future posters just find an existing thread and add to it please.



Each time a new thread appears many of us open and groan.



One day we will eat there and know from friends who have been will not be disappointed.



BUT PLEASE, no more threads.

Hi Liz - is that James who used to be at Ezic? He was a real asset - so polite and charming - even to an old codger like me!

Sorry Lilli ( or is your name Liz,? not sure) , I would imagine that you are fully booked daily with all the exposure you're getting.

I wish you the best success , but as mentioned above, i let out a bit of a groan too every time Guidos shows up in many threads.

Lilli, I know its not your fault, that people just "express" their opinions on Guidos and not other places they have visited, .

Seeing that a couple of posters become members only a day or so before their first postings.

I dont see people mentioning any other restaurants they try .

Good or bad.

Why turn a positive thread into negative one!



This forum was always about information in a fun way. If you don't like the thread, close it and move on.

Went to a little place next door to Illeli supermarket (just before starling at Alsancak) The Grape Garden its called, had a super meal, all fresh cooked local food, friendly service and a good price! Also went to Guido's, enjoyed that too, and the Dragon chinese restaurant at the Rocks Hotel, all enjoyable in their own ways. If the foods good then its money well spent.

Thanks Liz W. I guess lot of restaurants get different reviews depending on their service consistency, and personal tastes. I find the less pretentious restaurants often serve the best food, and usually not expensive either.

After being shown to our table we waited at least 20 minutes before we were asked if we wanted a drink (by the waitress who was sitting at the table next to us having her lunch and explained that she was family helping out). Having waited some considerable time for a Sunday Roast (not a la carte) it finally arrived cold. One of the forks on the table was dirty so had to ask for a clean one. When asked if everything was ok I had to be honest and say no. I told the waitress that the meal was cold so she said she would tell the chef. He came down to see us and I told him why we were unhappy. He said I should have said something and he would have put our meals in the microwave as it was difficult to keep everything warm!!! Not what we consider the correct answer. We had heard rave reviews and expected a good meal not a below average meal The restaurant wasnt full. The whole experience was below par and there was no sign of the swede or the parsnips so often mentioned !!

We have friends who have had a similar negative experience at Guidos.



In my opinion the most consistant restaurant is Archway.

Lilli,

Could I please clear something up, I put a posting on asking for a break from the constant reference to Guido's, it was deleted. I have never said a bad word about your restaurant, I have never bad mouthed you or your staff, in fact I have posted before what a lovely place it is, nicely decorated, good food, blah, blah, blah.

I just get fed up of seeing it on the board all of the time and think maybe it would help if we had a little less publicity, too much of a good thing and all that.

My problem is not with you in any way.

hi mags, i have read your comments with interest and can only apologise for any shortcomings that you experienced. If I recall you arrived without a booking and had to have a table outside and you arrived later than most of the diners, usually we know in advance the amount of diners we expect and cater accordingly so by the time you arrived a lot of the food was gone, i know you asked for different items from the sunday lunch menu which was just not possible as all the ovens are taken up with the lunch.I do apologise that i didnt see you sit down outside as i was very busy inside and my daughter in law was eating her lunch as you quite rightly say as they were awaiting thier lift to the airport to go back to uk at 3.30pm she saw the situation and alerted me to it, i am really sorry you felt you waited 40 minutes I would however dispute that long, she was not a waitress just concerned. The reason you waited some time was we try to work in rotation of the orders coming in. Guidio is very

you say you have limited supplies here, then go to the south.

a friend of our who has a very well known long standing restaurant here goes weekly to the south shopping.

i can't comment on your restaurant as i have never been, it was just a suggestion.

Apart from the very obvious exceptions in this thread, have the rest of you finished having a "knock" at this hardworking Lady and her business? Quite honestly, some of the comments posted have been absolutely disgraceful and uncalled for. It's so easy to hide behind your PC with "BB names" tapping out deroagory comments isn't it? You haven't even got the courage to stand by what you have said by revealing your REAL identity. Cowardly and pathetic behaviour IMO. It just reinforces some of the comments made to me by many TC friends that live in NC about "SOME" members of the ex-pat community. (These are not my comments BTW), but are interesting to say the least. "That Girne in particular is rife with gossip, jealously, infighting and some very unsavoury behaviour & characters. Provided that this does not spill over into their day to day lives, it is acceptable. When it does, it certainly won't be." These very well educated TC people have the "measure" of some of you as indeed do I.

Good for you Lilli.



If people haven't got the "balls" to address you face to face, what right do they have to broadcast it publicly?



Just because they want to jump on the bandwagon of knocking everything and anything, because they think it's clever, hidden and concealed by their monikas. Clever that eh?



If you as a customer have something to say, say it at the time to the person who is dealing with your complaint. Give the establishment a chance to rectify your complaint there and then.



But Lilli, you know what they say? All publicity is good, so chin up and keep smiling.

Well said Kay, I made a flippant remark earlier and got rebuked for it, I have to say I was a little confused, because you have probably guessed by now I am not a very serious person, staying away from contraversy, but reading through this tonight I realise why it happened.

Lilli, I know that this is your business and you want it to be successful but in any business you have to take criticism as well as praise.



I responded on here because everyone seemed to sing its praises. We did actually book and assumed that because there was only a choice of 2 things on a set menu that it wasnt going to be difficult to cater for. It was cold and thats a fact. I would not want a roast meal microwaved.



To be honest I dont think replying to everyone who is not satisfied is very constructive. This was our opinion, we did bring it to your attention at the time and we wont be coming again. Our decision. There are hundreds of restaurants to choose from.

Lilli, i'm in business myself (believe it or not, and for over 25 years) take the good with the bad, I only know you because of this board, but you seem a decent type to me, and I will definately be visiting you when I come over in January.

hello britvic !!! i will have a work permitt when i eventually get there in april subject to my mate wot does forgeries ! i have my own opinions about reataurants and businesses and being in the music business have learnt a huge amount of tollerance and understanding how things may go so wrong even with the best of intentions ! however ! theres a thin line between constructive critisisim and complete rudeness !!i hope you will come to one of my concerts cos i know at least one will be there !!

thanks liz sorry we couldnt "pop in" before we left for uk got completely engrossed with snagging lists and bits n pieces to sort out ! will be back jan 21st come and see ya !! have great christmas and very happy new year and ban the miserable b''''''''s who probably critisize the clouds in the sky !! take care and chin above !! snakes and mrs snakes !!!

Lilli - perhaps you should cast your memory back a little further. We HAD BOOKED a table for 1300hrs (which took 3 attempts as you were never open at the oft stated times) and did not ask for anything other than the Sunday menu, unless you are referring to my request for no gravy on the pork I ordered? Nobody mentioned 40 minutes here, but you are probably right, we probably did wait 40 mins (after the 20 mins to be offered a drink) until our meals arrived.



I have read this board for months now but I feel I have to defend my friend and myself - self praise is no recommendation Lilli ( and there's still no mention of the much feted swede!!)



If it wasn't for the fact you do so much self-advertising you probably wouldn't get so much grief...



Anyway, that's my bit said, I'm sure some people will jump in here but as far as I'm concerned it's all done and dusted. It was it was... and what it was, was a disappointment after previous reviews on here.

Having a business for as long as I have, you wouldn't (or maybe you would) believe the cr*p I have had to put up with over the years, but hey! keep smiling and teeth gritted!, Snakes I will try to get to see you while i'm their, but I am coming out for a 70th birthday, and because of work commitments, it may only be a week, but good luck!

ph britvic thank you i do try my best to be all things to all people but some people here who didnt have a voice in the uk suddendly find they can shout without being seen. snakes knows all the requirements for living here so im sure all documentation will be taken care of. i get so fed up with it and his comments are quite valid this is a village, i could say a lot but vendettas start like that and i would rather rise above it, most done by restaurat or ex restaurant owners we know who they are so it doesnt come as a surprise. There are a lot of hidden agendas here npw, constructice critisism i will take and act on it all my customers can tell me to my face not hide behind a screen . I look forward to seeing you and to you and yours a very happy xmas and new year Lilli xx

Well spotted, as I said I have read this board for months before joining today to put my side of the debacle that was 'Sunday Lunch at Guido's.



I'm not prepared to get into a bunfight with you, it was what it was. And don't I recall you saying you had never eaten there not so long ago? Hmmm, word from the wise, don't bother. Try the Old Mill, it beats it hands down.

Nix12,

Thanks for the tip.

Oh, well by all accounts, it's apparent on here, and elsewhere, Guido's is only for the discerning then?



Nitey nites.



PS enjoy the BB.

No need for that Lilli.

If you want to be disrespectful towards customers. Please do it in the kitchen.



Thousands of posts about 1 restaurant doesn't make sense. In fact it is quite unbelievable.
