First time here and it was a great experience. We liked all the food we had. As starters octopus and beef tartare (not really classic way of preparing it, has a lot of tomato sauce, but tasty). Mains were mushroom souvlaki, half chicken and shrimp. All wonderful. No space for dessert. Will try next time, because there definitely will be a next time.

Food was good not great, service was very good, but it was very noisy in the indoor part of the restaurant. And there was also music playing which made it hard to hear other people at our own table of 4. If you wear hearing aids communication would be close to a lost cause.

This is a beautiful space. We had a large party of 8 pp, some friends were late, and we had a friend pull up last minute. I would say, not the easiest table. Our Captain and servers were very attentive and accommodating. All my guests left saying what a fabulous dinner it was. Fun cocktails. We shared a bunch of plates (Halloumi, Gigantes, Spanakopita, Mushrooms [Get Them!]) Feta Wrapped Phyllo, and some ordered mains. The food was so yummy! We will be back.
