Frommer's Review
A little on the kitsch side (columns, torches, and waitresses in togas) but a brilliant idea nonetheless. With recipes from ancient Greece (recorded by the poet Archestratos) this is your one chance to dine like the ancients did. Offerings include cuttlefish in ink with pine nuts, wild-boar cutlets, goat leg with mashed vegetables, and pork with prunes and thyme, among other such delicious fare. Just remember: You may use a spoon and a knife but no fork(!) -- ancient Greeks did not use them. Equally adored by locals, foodies, and tourists alike, evenings here make for a unique dining experience.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
