Fodor's Review:

Tourism hasn't seemed to blight this taverna—one of the oldest in Plaka—at all, except on the now-multilingual menus rife with amusing spelling. O Platanos remains a welcome sight compared with the many overpriced tourist traps in the area. The waiters are fast, but far from ingratiating, and the place is packed with Greeks. The shady courtyard is fine for outdoor dining. Don't miss the oven-baked potatoes, roasted lamb, fresh green beans in savory olive oil, and the exceptionally cheap but delicious barrel retsina.

I agree with the previous reviewer that this place is below average. I don't see why it would get the rating Fodor's gives it. The food was average and the wait staff was lackluster to say the least. While alot of Greek waiters are not warm and fuzzy, these were the bottom of the barrel. The only thing going for it is the location. I would avoid it.
