Restaurant Poseidon in Hattingen

We were a group of 24 people. The restaurant is large and very busy. The staff was friendly. We arrived at 6:30 p.m., but unfortunately, the food didn't arrive until 9 p.m. Despite lots of discussion and conversation, the wait seemed very long. The food was good. 7 out of 10. The menu was designed for groups.

I had dinner there with my wife and daughter. Unfortunately the food wasn't that great. The chicken breast I ordered was tough and somehow tasted like it had been thawed. Of course the food remained. After I told the waiter my displeasure, he tried to console me with an ouzo. Well, customer service looks different. Too bad. Not again.

As always, very good. Only recommended.

The ambience is inviting and beautifully designed. Unfortunately, the food still has a lot of room for improvement. Our appetizers were the highlight of the visit. The main course, in my case linguine with salmon, was way too much, not much sauce, which didn't have much flavor and unfortunately too little salmon. The salad that came with other main courses was already served during the starter. The plates all came to the table very isolatedly, so we couldn't start eating together. All in all, a somewhat disappointing visit, although after our criticism, the kitchen brought us a dessert (Greek yogurt with honey, almonds and jam) as compensation, which we actually didn't need anymore because we were all completely full.

It's ok. I've eaten better for the same money.

Really good and modern restaurant. Very good service, polite, competent and very accommodating, first class food. To be rated negatively: table for 4 separated by a “partition”, felt like a table for 6 due to the physical and acoustic proximity, unfortunately no intimacy.

Very tasty food. Nice waiters. A great evening.

Food was really, really good. Definitely see us again! Keep it up!

By far the best Greek restaurant in the area in years! Atmosphere, service and food quality and selection are second to none! Be sure to reserve!

Great food and great ambience. Were visiting with a company group and had the food as a buffet. Rich, tasty and the gyros are bombastic. Always happy again

Very tasty food, very nice service. Completely satisfied. We'd love to come back :-)

Always and at any time recommended. Delicious food, freshly prepared and absolutely friendly service. Very nice operating family ❤️

We had dinner here with a couple who were friends of ours. The reception was friendly and we got a seat quickly. The orders were taken quickly and delivered on time. Questions about the wine pairing were answered in detail. The food was prepared in a modern way and the ingredients were very fresh. Which was reflected in the taste. The staff was attentive and created a family atmosphere despite the size of the restaurant.

Everything is really right here. The service is friendly and attentive, very nice ambience and very tasty food. I would even say it is the best Greek restaurant I have ever eaten at. All dishes are very finely balanced, big praise to the chef.

Very good Greek cuisine, this includes the starters and also the main courses. Here you don't get large plates of dry mountains of meat, as is usual at many other places. A pleasant atmosphere, good service and cleanliness are of course standard here. My recommendation: seafood salad.

The service took a long time and the dishes were not cleared away after the meal so that the main course had no place on the table. Drinks were empty and no one asked for a new order. The liver was tough. The place was very loud.

Good food like with good friends.

Were there today, very friendly and really tasty!

The service was friendly and unobtrusive, although a bit inattentive. My meal, lamb chops, was excellent, although at 33.50 it was priced quite high. To drink I chose a wheat beer, I was served the bottle and the glass, so I had to pour myself. I find it borderline. For wheat beer number 2, I was only brought a bottle without asking if I wanted a new glass. Sorry, but this is not a reasonable service in the price range. There was no “ouzo on the house” either, which I find a bit strange with a relatively large table for a Greek. Overall, I have to say that, despite the really tasty food, I probably won't visit the restaurant again.

We were there with 20 people for Christmas dinner from work. Since it was very full, we had to wait a long time for food and drinks, but we understood that. With a final amount of over 800 euros, the owner could have shown his appreciation in the form of a little something from the house.

The rooms have been redesigned. I liked the photographs better, but that's a matter of taste. The food is delicious, plentiful and very good selection.

Food as always very tasty. It was completely renovated in August, very beautiful and classy.

Great ambience, top service, fantastic cuisine and a 😊 junior chef. Thanks to the entire team

Great ambience, nice selection, delicious food and fair prices, great 👍🏼

Delicious food Great service The best octopus I've ever eaten! We highly recommend it

Super cozy and so delicious there.

Nice Greek restaurant, best with reservation

The food was okay but unfortunately the service that evening wasn't exactly the best

Gyros gratinated were delicious

For years I have been eating again with visitors from Italy. The food was excellent. The selection leaves room for every scope. It was a successful evening!

Very nice staff, cozy location and the food was very good.

Very good food. Price performance is good. Now the wait for drinks is very long. You have to let us know if you want something. It's not like it used to be. My feeling tells me that those who are there regularly are preferred. It's just my feeling.

The newly renovated right guest room has become beautifully modern and cozy.

Nice service, very tasty food. Our absolute favorite restaurant! Various family celebrations such as confirmations and birthdays have been celebrated here. The food is always consistently excellent in quality and taste. We have all enjoyed coming here for years. Addendum from October 19, 2022 Today we ate really well again. The other half of the restaurant was also renovated during the summer break and we are absolutely thrilled. Everything really looks super classy and turned out beautifully. Big praise to those responsible.

Great and delicious food. Top!! Highly recommended.

Yesterday we spontaneously went to Poseidon with 5 people after I googled for a good Greek restaurant in the Hattingen area. We were all very impressed by the nice and friendly atmosphere. The waiters were very accommodating, nice and professional. The food was extremely tasty: we shared several starters beforehand and were thrilled! The Gavros in particular were my personal highlight! The starters are not mini portions, so we were actually already full afterwards…. And that as “good eaters”. Both the fish and meat main courses were freshly prepared and simply delicious!😋 I'm glad I get salad with oil and vinegar at a Greek restaurant... I've never had (American, French, yogurt...etc) dressing on my salad in Greece. 😅 Even if one or two regular guests may miss it. 😎 See you soon!👋

Very cozy restaurant with top service. Very good food. Also available for pickup. Quick preparation. Simply great!

I'm used to being treated differently as a guest. But we still had to pay. Never again.👎

Essen wirklich super aber was den Service betrifft, ist viel Luft nach oben. Kaum ein Lächeln, eher genervt bei Rückfragen.... Echt schade.... Mehr wie ein Stern kann ich hier nicht vergeben.

Good, fresh and above all delicious food. Price-performance ratio is very good. Nice ambience.

Excellent restaurant. Top service. Changing daily menu. 100% authentic. Fish dishes are particularly recommended (tuna, sea bream), and the steaks are also top notch.

We were eating with three people and had reserved a table. The dishes were all very good. Good service, high price. But all in all I can recommend the restaurant.

A fantastic restaurant with great Greek cuisine! The food was fresh, excellently prepared and very tasteful. The service was attentive and friendly, and the cozy atmosphere perfectly rounded off the experience. Absolutely recommended – we would love to come back 👍🏼👍🏼

it's not as good as it used to be.

I had the summer menu, which was served in 3 courses by extremely friendly and cheerful staff. Everything tasted very good, the portion sizes were ok, and the price-performance ratio was no reason to complain. Gladly again!

Were here again after a long time and I was completely thrilled! Service was very friendly, but due to how busy the place was, it was a bit too much for them here and there and you had to wait a little. My meal was impressively good, had salmon with vegetables and rosemary potatoes. The fish was perfect, the sauce was delicious and everything was very tasty! Thanks for that 🤩

Relatively expensive starter. Tzatziki small portion €6.90. No ouzo before or after the meal. Untypical for a Greek. There are better ones in Hattingen.Sorry🤷 Oh and I was there 2 weeks ago. So before the company holidays. According to the billing, Zaziki was €6.90. Maybe it was billed incorrectly by mistake. And no ouzo either before or after. Untypical for a Greek restaurant.

Very cozy Greek restaurant. Great service, delicious food and plenty of it. My first choice so it's better to always reserve a table.

Ein „echter Grieche“ mit einem reichhaltigem Speiseangebot. Trotz des großen Angebotes, alles was wir bislang gegessen haben,war sehr gut. Hier gibt es auch noch ein leckeres Gyros und eine Lammhaxe in der Backfolie mit Tomaten und Fetakäse aus dem Backofen. Der neue Gastraum ist sehr schön geworden. Vorm Haus gibt es noch reichlich Plätze für schöne Tage. Immer wieder eine Freude dort Gast zu sein.

Went to the opening of the new guest room today. It turned out very nice. Now the ambience matches the great food and great service even better.

Great food, very nicely prepared

In any case!!! Just really legga👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We were floored... from the outside it was more of a reserved pub. Inside the surprise: bright, clean, and a great atmosphere. We were there with the whole family. The food was great and came to everyone at the same time. The staff was super friendly and attentive. 👍🙂 We’d love to come back!

Good tasty food. Nice atmosphere and pleasant service.

Top address to go out for a very cozy and delicious meal!!!!!

Very good Greek food. No matter whether it was starters, fish or meat dishes, all dishes were very good, fresh and absolutely recommended. Service friendly and quick. Gladly again

It was simply beautiful to the eye, tasted excellent and had very good service. Thanks for the nice evening. Sorry, I wanted to give it 5 stars. Of course, as you can read in the review, it was an oversight.

Parking directly opposite the entrance across the street, up the curb and into the restaurant at ground level. Nice large entrance area..table large for 4 people all with chair.. Food.large portion and very tasty. Dessert recommended and very filling.. Gladly again

Traditional Greek restaurant with TOP cuisine. The service overall was very attentive and friendly. Drinks and food were served promptly and freshly. The presentation of the food was great. Everything freshly prepared and very tasty food. We always enjoy eating here.

The food was very tasty and the service too. I would love to eat there again and again

Sehr lecker, bester Service, angenehmes Ambiente. Das Restaurant bietet eine Auswahl von erlesenen Speisen. Das ist schon die gehobene Kochkunst. Immer wieder gerne.

Good cuisine, plenty of choice, busy restaurant, friendly service

Very fast, very nice, very tasty. Top

An incredibly great restaurant with the best food and service. We celebrated our son's baptism there in 2021. The arrangements were all uncomplicated and our wishes were taken into account! Thank you again for the lovely day with you.

When my colleague, who is Greek himself and is head chef in a star hotel in Dortmund, says that he has never had better, authentic Greek food since he has been in Germany, that speaks for itself. We were thrilled and will definitely come back. Thanks to the Poseidon team

There is absolutely nothing to complain about. The food, including the starters, was simply delicious 👌The service was attentive and very friendly. We always enjoy coming back 🫶

Everyone has to decide for themselves.

As usual, very tasty food and friendly and fast service

My parents loved eating there 35 years ago. We can only recommend it!!! The food and service are really TOP!!!

A wonderful experience. We were very happy with everything.

Leider mittlerweile zu teuer. Ich komme wieder, nur halt weniger oft. Was habt ihr davon? Bessere Marge, weniger Umsatz und unterm Strich bleibt wohl weniger über.

I would give zero stars if it were possible

Enjoy your meal. Nice service. Good prices

Nettes Personal, gutes Essen, jedoch preislich deutlich teurer als die meisten Griechen - aber das Essen ist auch das Geld wert. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Leckeres Essen, netter Service nur manchmal etwas Unaufmerksam

Bestes griechisches Restaurant in der Gegend.

Super lecker und sehr nettes Personal

Hier gibt es nicht viel zu sagen. Griechisch halt. Guter, schneller und freundlicher Service. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Ambiente stimmte. Am Wochenende sollte man einen Tisch reservieren. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Gutes Essen, angenehme Atmosphäre und nettes Personal.

Sehr vielfältige Auswahl. Guter Service. Sehr schönes Ambiente

Preis /Leistung und Essen gut.Bedienung immer freundlich.Gehen immer wieder gerne hin.

Hatten dort unser Weihnachtsessen 🎅 mit 20 Personen hat alles reibungslos geklappt. Das Essen war top !Fleisch auf den Punkt gebraten, Zaziki und Aioli kann ich nur empfehlen zu probieren. 🇬🇷😋👍

Sehr nettes Lokal. Toller Mittagstisch. Super Personal! Hattingen bleibt mir in guter Erinnerung

bisher waren wir rundherum zufrieden. Beim letzten Besuch hat uns das Personal enttäuscht. Beim Eintritt in das Restaurant hatte men den Eindruck fregen zu müssen, ob man überhaupt reinkommen kann. Dieser Eindruck setzte sich während des gesamten Aufenthaltes fort. Man kann nur hoffen, dass das kein neuer Trend für dieses ansonsten sehr gute Restaurant ist. Wir werden es sehen.

Nettes Personal, leckeres Essen.

Süße Kellner und lecker Essen. 😏

Sehr schönes Ambiente mit leckerem Essen und tollen Service.Einfach KLASSE👍

Habe mich vor Ort von angenehmem Personal verwöhnen und mit sehr gutem Essen versorgen lassen schon typisch Griechisch

Das Gyros mit Zaziki war eine sehr gut schmeckende und große Portion. Die separate Metaxasoße war allerdings nicht so mein Fall. Sehr schönes Ambiente, bei den Tischen mit Trenngitter zum Nachbartisch sitzt man zu nah am Nachbarn.

Seit 20 Jahren Stammgäste. Immer alles sehr lecker, tolles Ambiente, der Chef ist stets präsent! Eines der besten Lokale weit und breit. Was heutzutage selten ist. Preis Leistung wirklich TOP! Sind immer gerne hier.. Geburtstage kann man hier locker feiern. Super Organisation! Würde euch 10 Sterne geben Die letzten beiden Male ohne den Chef waren wirklich unterirdisch. Auch meine Schwester war mit Freunden dort und berichtete ähnliches. Zwei Kellner sind herablassend und wirken sehr arrogant und lustlos. Das Essen war gut, aber leider wurden wir mit 10 Personen zum Geburtstag meiner Mutter kaum wahrgenommen. Erst hieß es das zweimal Zaziki mit Brot für den Tisch zu wenig wären und so bestellte ich mehr.. Und dann wollte ich es zum Schluss einpacken lassen, da es viel zu schade ist das Essen wegzuwerfen. Da fasste ein Kellner eine Brotscheibe an und fragte abwertend: DAS hier wollen Sie noch einpacken? Und schmiss es angewidert zurück in den Korb. Man fasst es nicht an und geht so nicht mit Gästen um. Das ist im Mai 2023 passiert und seither habe ich das Lokal gemieden und bin sehr enttäuscht. Wenn der Chef da ist, läuft der Laden. PS unsere Truppe saß im Nebenraum und wurde von den Kellnern ignoriert. Getränke waren also auch Fehlanzeige. Es tut mir wirklich leid. Ich hadere nochmal wiederzukommen. Diese Kellner sind schon mehrfach unangenehm aufgefallen. Das Essen war auch leider überall schön fast kalt.

Speisen frisch und lecker.Freundliche Bedienung .Tischreservierung erforderlich.

Zum wiederholten Male sehr gut gegessen. Endlich mal kein "Standardgrieche" mit riesen Mengen, sondern feine Küche, toll angerichtet und sehr lecker. Sonderwünsche sind kein Problem, Service toll und freundlich. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Gute Küche, das Essen ist frisch und sehr lecker, nette und aufmerksame Bedienung, lockere Atmosphäre

Essen und Bedienung waren ganz gut

Wirklich sensationell! Ob "Kleftiko" oder "Oktopus auf einem Risotto aus Kritharaki" - jedes der Gerichte findet wohl kaum seinesgleichen in der Umgebung. Ich bin selbst am Tag danach noch total begeistert.

Dieses Restaurant gehört definitiv zur etwas gehobeneren Küche! Das Essen war sehr lecker und man wird auch ohne eine Vorspeise definitiv satt. Das einzige Manko war, dass wir leider gut 40min auf das Essen warten mussten. Hierfür gibt es von mir aber keinen Stern Abzug, da die Wartezeit gut mit einem Salat, Brot und einem kleinen Ouzo überbrückt wurde. Ich kann dieses Restaurant nur weiterempfehlen!

Kein sehr herzlicher Empfang. Essen war schlecht und dann bei den gepfefferten Preisen! Zum Beispiel Fleisch noch roh, alles versalzen Tzatziki hausgemacht und gut! Haben 2x nach der Karte für den Nachtisch gefragt, hatten sie nach 25 Minuten immer noch nicht. Ein Kellner halbwegs freundlich, der andere unverschämt. Sagte, es läge an Schwangerschaft und Hormonen, dass Essen sei nicht versalzen. Prinzipiell fühlt man sich eher da Willkommen, wo einen das auch gezeigt wird. Aber wenn einer lustlos an den Tisch kommt...sorry, wrong job. Das Ambiente ist wirklich nett.

Salzige Vorspeisen, durchschnittlicher Ouzo und leckerer Hauptgang, Service geht besser

Netter Service, schnelle und gute Küche, die sich einen guten Esser sättigt. Das Restaurant ist sehr gut besucht, was eine Reservierung unumgänglich macht. Leider ist es deswegen auch ziemlich warm und auch recht laut.

Wir haben hier den Geburtstag meiner Frau mit 15 Personen gefeiert. Sehr gepflegtes Restaurant. Leckeres Essen. Angemessene Preise. Super Service.
