"Having spent a number of holidays on various Greek islands over the years, I know a thing or two about Greek food. If you're looking for authentic Greek cuisine, give this place a miss. Apart from a very obnoxious and sarcastic waiter, the food was extremely bland. I always thought Moussaka was a dish made from lamb and contained aubergines, not made from beef with no aubergines! It was also served in a dish which led me to believe that it had been prepared in advance and stored in a fridge/freezer. The Meze was lacking a number of elements with a stingy single Dolmades (stuffed vine leaf) per person. The dips were also lacking in taste and may as well have been bought from a supermarket. A real disappointment Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £40–50 Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3"

"My party arrived at this restaurant around 6:30 on a Saturday evening. We were anticipating a peaceful atmosphere, but it was actually quite lively, which we took as a positive sign. The service we received was outstanding, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal in the pleasant ambiance. We couldn't find any faults during our visit. It was a pleasant surprise to see that Luke was still working there, as he had taken care of us on our first visit a few years ago. Once again, he provided us with excellent service."

"Shocking service if you're sitting in the bar area. Our plates were left on our table for 50 minutes before being taken away. One meal and one pudding wasn't available. The pudding took 50 minutes to arrive after I chased the staff twice, only to be told then that one of the puddings wasn't available. The member of staff informed me that there was only one dessert person on duty and didn't even bother to go the kitchen to chase our order. Surely staff shortage isn't a concern of any customer?? I emailed and complained and no one has bothered to respond. Very disappointed with Hunloke not value for money and overrated."

"I was pleasantly surprised when we managed to secure a table at this restaurant before heading to the theater. The staff accommodated us despite the busy evening, and it was easy to see why the place was so popular. It seems that there are not many great dining options in Chesterfield, but this restaurant is a standout and we would definitely return. The food was exceptional; we ordered a variety of small plates to share and were pleasantly surprised by the generous portions. We left feeling satisfied and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was relaxed, bustling, and welcoming, with the staff going out of their way to ensure a pleasant dining experience. This hidden gem is definitely worth a visit."

"thyme to eat is a pretty picturesque in the good wise little caffe set between the gasses in chesterfield city center. it serves a decent menu, with usually vegetarian options, but there are enough vegan choices not only in terms of meals, but also in terms of drinks and cakes. I had a bbq jackfruit pitta, from the “Specials” board, served with gazed kartoffels and a side salad. the food was great, the setting was nice, and the price was in-line with everywhere else. a really pleasant meal that made a change from the usual chain cafés and restaurants. a light criticism that I would make is that the charalate was much too big. Taste directions may vary, but this salate was enormous to be wasted. I ate as much as I could, but it was still much left I felt that the ratio of salat to the rest of the food was completely wrong, but that's just me."
