I've been here 5 or 6 times before and this time the food was not as good. Grilled octopus had been excellent before but was dry and not as good. Lamb chops fine but also not quite hat it had been. Hopefully just a slow Sunday night because I've gone out of my way to come here.

This was my second time at the restaurant and it did not disappoint. To the wonderful warm pita with olive oil/ olive tapenade to the zucchini chips to my main course( salmon), the food is so delicious. The staff is very hospitable and I love the fact that the owner makes sure he greets each table of guests. It’s a nice touch.
