Looking for restaurant recommendations on Santorini and in Athens. There are many good-sounding places that I hope to gain insight from to help us make plans. Thank you!

Most definitely Mani Mani -Athens
Our RS Greece tour ate there for our last dinner together. Wish we had known about this place before the tour.

My wife and I were in Santorini and Athens in the end of April and May respectively.
In Santorini I would recommend: Parea Tavern in the centre of Fira, which is traditional and simple, has a roof terrace with a sea view to the east of Santorini; Pelican Kipos, just below the main square, has good food and a lovely atmosphere.
In Athens I would recommend: To Kafeneio, 1, Epicharmou Str, Plaka; and To Kati Allo, Chatzichristou 12 (behind the Acropolis Museum), a bit of a hole-in-the-wall with good food

I would recommend Aktaion on Santorini. The restaurant is small, so reservations would be advisable. Our meal there was great!

Athens: We enjoyed a place on the Mniskleous Steps called Geros Tou Moria. No cars so sidewalk dining is much more appealing. Right below the Acropolis.
Avoid a place recommended in the RS guidebook called To Kati Allo. We were terrifically underwhelmed by this charmless place.
Santorini (Oia): Go to Candouni. Amazing place on a footpath between the parking lot and the main tourist drag. You go behind a door through a wall and enter an oasis, eating under the stars. Truly family owned (our waitress was the daughter of the owners) and very generous (they gave us a complimentary limoncello with our dessert).
