We ate at their Eastwood branch last 3rd of November and I was really dismayed by how they portioned their dish, particularly their Short Ribs Stifado. Have a look at the photos where you'll see a dish full of bones. I just ate a couple of small beef cuts but that is it. Those big chunks were bones and it is not fair to a paying guest like me that they lacked attention in portioning the food well. I hope this won't happen again as I strongly believe that we should get the value for our money. The salad and fillet mignon were perfect, though. Service was okay, the manager gave us complimentary ice cream and admitted the mistake.

I used to love this place but unfortunately the quality of food and level of service have declined. Upon entering the restaurant, the ventilation is no longer good. The resto was filled with smoke that our clothes ended up smelling like food. The salad quality was not okay. It was semi-wilted. The lamb that we ordered to be cooked medium was served almost raw and there were more bones than meat. On the flip side, their meatless moussaka was still superb.

I instantly fell in love with Cyma the first time I ate here. Meditteranean food may be an acquired taste and you can say that the price of the dishes are quite on the pricey side but the flavors are really amazing and I think it is worth every penny!=======(F)ood:=======What my usual order at Cyma would be:Tonnos Salata - this is their tuna salad. I love the coriander-crusted seared ahi tuna! so fresh and that summber herb vinaigrette is so refreshing. As I refrain from the homemade anchovies and the green beans (which I miss eating by the way), I love the olives and the boiled egg. One really yummy and healthy option for those who love eating salads.Spinach and Artichoke Fondue - one of those really great Hot Mezedes from Cyma. Love dipping the EVOO bread and homemade pita to that dipping gooey melting cheee, sun-dried tomateos, feta and anchovies. Pastisado - I love that buccatini pasta and the ohhh so yummy beef shanks swimming in that fresh Greek tomato sauce. I am salvating while writing this review, omg haha! Chicken and Seafood Youvetsi - I super love the combination of chicken and seafood is this always hot and steaming clay pot of paella! The texture and the size of the rice is perfect! yum yum yum!Hirine Brizola - this is my ultimate favorite here! I always order two pieces of this 3/4 thick and tender bone-in pork chops! I always chose roasted potatoes as side and ask for an extra helping of their sauce. I also use their spicy oil to dip that thick pork chop! OMG so perfect for the meat lovers like me.Cyma Fillet Mignon - of course, what would be a fancy dinner without a Fillet Mignon! I always order medium rare! :) they put cheese on top of the the fillet and yum so perfect!You should also try their bottomless iced tea! Love the stong taste of homemade iced tea with that hint of lemon.===========(A)mbience:===========This branch is adorned with thick ropes mimicking I think those galleon ships that the Greeks use long before. The walls are also adorned with people adorned in Greek robes reminiscent of Old Grecian people. The seats are comfy and the space are clean. There are unique lamps that hang from the ceilings of the restaurant.  There are parts though that are too cold so better choose your seat wisely. You may also choose to eat al fresco as they offer plenty of seats outside the restaurant.=================(B)utler Service:=================I have been close with some of the servers as I eat here almost once a month. The servers are quick on their feet and refill your iced tea almost instantly. Love that they know the dishes.
