Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A nice place with a cozy atmosphere and good service, high quality Angus meat that you can choose from a refrigerator and very well prepared with a delicious sauce.
Highly recommended to eat there once.
You can eat there affordable and expensive, in both cases it is definitely worth it

Beautiful restaurant, lovely staff. Food first class thank you 😊 would definitely recommend. Steaks are on the higher price but literally melt in your mouth, they clearly know how to cook steak!

One of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten. A friendly handshake from the owner upon entry set the tone for a lovely evening. The price may seem fairly standard but the size of the steaks makes the value incredible. I ordered the limousine fillet and it is the biggest fillet I have ever seen. If you are UK based, expect to pay £50-£80 for the size of fillet we got for €37.50. The steaks are all cooked exactly to order (I ordered rare and my partner medium rare and there was a noticeable difference)
A must visit (though you will need to get a taxi from old town Rhodes as it is a good 35min walk away)

We visited the restaurant today to have our lunch. We ordered a Caesar salad for the first and two Black Angus burger for the second. We expected at least order around 20 minutes. When we ordered we waited with 30 minutes and nothing had yet come to our table. They had probably forgotten to bring Caesar's salad. Half an hour later they brought us the burger, and they informed us that they had forgotten the salad, we asked to have the salad first and then the burger, then the owner of the restaurant came to us and asked us what our problem is, and we informed him. With a bad behavior and nervousness he spoke to us ironically and even though he was wrong he stood up and left without completing what I wanted to say. Eventually, they brought us everything together, regardless of whether we want to eat the burger with the salad. As for the food the salad was very dry as if you ate straw, there was no Caesar sauce at all in the salad, also the bacon was very familiar as well as the chicken, completely indifferent. The potatoes in the burger were frozen, the meat had no salt at all. Our food was under-moderate in terms of quality and price, when someone pays 17.50 for a burger waiting to eat something much better. The owner throughout our meal never showed up again nor any of the waiters, nor even picked up our food when we had finished. I am also a businessman with restaurants and consider that this move of the owner was extremely unacceptable and wrong. I would not recommend this place at all for food nor for its quality nor its behavior.

Premium food of the highest quality. The owners clearly know quality when they see it and they deliver it through their food. Family run business and it makes a difference. They're attentive, caring and polite. Coupled with high quality products at reasonable prices I can't recommend this place highly enough

We were so disappointed with this restaurant. It is an expensive restaurant, which we knew at the time of booking, we don’t normally spend this much on a meal out but given it was a special occasion and the reviews were amazing we thought we were in for an amazing experience, so we booked at table for the 2 of us
… sadly this was not the case.
The meal was brought out very quickly, in fact by sitting down and actually finishing the meal was 40mins…
We continued to drink our wine …. But after a hour no body came to clear our plates or to take a dessert order, we had to go and ask for the bill, which they couldn’t give us until we paid…..
So very disappointed and if I’m honest felt victimised as every one else had had a good experience according to the reviews … we weren’t local and are totally shocked by everyone’s reviews.
Maybe they don’t like the English.
The food that we did have was lovely and I have never left a negative review before.
It was a totally upsetting experience.

We came to el torro on a recomedation from the hostess at our villa. The host at El Torro was extremely knowledgeable about the meat on his menu and gave recommendations based on our choices. 6 of us feasted and our bill came in under our prediction, with some free dessert samples thrown in. Definitely recommend. My only mark against it is it's a little outside the town centre so driving here or taking a taxi is recommended

The establishment demonstrates exceptional expertise in preparing beef dinners. Although it is somewhat expensive, the high prices are justified by the superior quality of the meat and the excellent service provided. I rate it 10 out of 10. Both my fiancé and I had the hanger steak, which we highly recommend. Should we return to Rhodes, we will certainly dine at this restaurant again.

I can't believe it exceeded all my expectations. The inconspicuous appearance from the outside locally without guests was at first deterrent but the food. It is unsurpassed in its composition in Rhodes.
The carpaccio is of the smell and the way the food was prepared was uniquely diverse in taste and profound it was like telling its own story.
The fillet, a treat that is second to none. Delicate, versatile, perfect for the moment on the grill. An experience and definitely worth a detour as Michelin would say.
Not much remains to say about the service except, fast and direct. There were consistently 2 waiters on the surface who marched up and down constantly looking at the guests, neither disturbing nor intrusive but to the exact extent that you could directly express your own wishes.
For a critic who is nevertheless very sensitive the food, the athmosphere and much more. Considered this was an extraordinary visit to the marina of Rhodes.

Here we really got a positive surprise. The level of service and quality of the food is long sought after. Ate a ribeye steak of premium Black Angus that was cooked to perfection. Together with Hasselback potatoes and pepper sauce, this made for a sunny 6-star dinner, which ended with dessert on the house. The wine selection was also very good.
The only downside was the chairs, these could have been splurged on a cushion or upgraded to something more comfortable as they resembled a "stool" and when you are eating dinner in the very upper price range you should also sit comfortably.
But all in all a really good place worth a visit.

The personal was friendly & I can imagine steak being expensive on an island however you don't get what you pay for. It's really expensive here. The sausage I had as a starter came with absolutely nothing. My main course was a steak and also came with absolutely nothing. The meat was decent but not well seasoned. After paying more than €100 a person, I really advise tourists to get a gyros and have a steak when you are back at home.

A really stunning place! Very elegant and personal. The owners of the place welcome the guests, the place is arranged in a very luxurious way. The menu is very wide and well explained. The waiters are very pleasant and patient and explain everything that is not clear. We ordered sweet red wine with excellent carpaccio meat with pita bread. For mains we each ordered fatty meat that came with excellent vegetables! And for dessert, crème brûlée with an indulgent fruity sauce and crumbs. Really recommended! good prices

Wow wow wow! This is our second visit and it was even more amazing than the first. We work in hospitality and this place is the best example of genuine good hospitality! The service is top class and the steaks are to die for!!! The owner and his team knows their stuff and will help recommend wine and the best way you should have your steak cooked. It is located near-the main port …. Make the journey !! It’s so worth it!
Genuinely the best steak we have ever had!!!!

Friendly greeting as we entered. They answered any question regarding different meals. Service was second to none. Once we ordered our steak We selected the recommended local red wine and were offered to taste it. Didn't have to wait long for the meal. At first glance of the menu it looked more expensive than your average steakhouse but the size and quality of the meal was worth every penny. Asked for our steaks medium and they were perfect Can not fault the meal The owner or the staff in any way. We asked 1 of the staff to take a photo of us and he was very happy to do it. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Would definately recommend to anyone.

After some initial trouble with our online reservation( it didn’t show up in their system, so if you want to book call don’t do it online) they seated us anyway. The staff was very kind and at our disposal. The things we ate ( ribs, pork, the cheeseburger and the chocolate pie) were quite good, the meat on the burger was cooked like we asked, the pork was very juicy and the ribs fell off the bone. In addition to this the chocolate pie is big enough for two/three people. Moreover we ordered red wine and a mastiha which were very good. The bill was fair since we paid about 25€ per person. Overall I would recommend the restaurant for a nice night out near the harbour!
