   Owner/ manager at the door very grumpy and unwelcoming as if he is doing us a big favor by letting us in. Food is good but very pricey considering the overall ambiance, noise, and feeling unwelcomed! A normal sea bass dinner for two people was $200, too pricey for a place that is not welcoming! Will never go again!

   Parking lot was far too small. Due to it being Valentine’s Day, it was overcrowded and service was extremely slow. Food was tasty and portions were large though.

   The food was delicious, great portions, however the first greeting impression was not the best. We had a reservation, didn’t check us in, wanted to sit us by the front. We made a reservation for our wedding anniversary really wanted the main dining. We told them we will wait, we waited about 10min and were seated. Oysters and lamb chops were amazing!

   I really wanted to love this place. I’ll start by saying all the fish we ordered was very good. That’s about it. The host was rather rude. The noise level was off the charts! We couldn’t hear our own conversations. After our waiter eventually got over to us he was attentive but we sat for a while. The table and chairs were some of the most uncomfortable I’ve been in. The tables were crammed in so tightly that I kept bumping into the lady behind me. The saganaki was like rubber. On a good note, the portions were large and we took food home. The salad was very good, and again, very large. I felt the prices were high for a place with paper napkins and a cafeteria-like feel. Sorry but we won’t be going there again.

   Absolutely terrible service. And what's with the patio furniture? At these prices, this should be a much better overall experience. My friend and I walked out before ordering. Never saw a waiter, never had anyone offer to bring drinks, nothing. Won't try again. Zero stars.

    Fantastic menu. Great selection of fresh fish. Huge potions and great service. Try the Hawaiian Tuna!
