An absolute gem. Great quality food and exceptional service for the price. If you are looking for a nice meal out without spending a fortune, I cannot recommend this enough. The wine I selected was unavailable, and I was offered three similar recommendations or the option to review the wine cellar to choose my own. Will definitely return!

Great service and lovely venue, but we found the food slightly over cooked as tasty as it was. That said the pricing was very competitive. Definitely worth trying if you are in the area.

Excellent experience. Fantastic service in a wonderful space with beautiful and fragrant oriental lilies. Sea bass was great but the short rib was even better. The beef carpaccio / tartare was far better than we had in Spain and Portugal. Must return!

Welcoming staff who helped with food combinations and wine selection. Great selection of breads. Squid was delicious and was the pasta and shrimp (served in a way I’ve never seen!) not rushed but just right in timing. In a great location on the Plaka.

We shared an order of Parmesan truffle oil fries which were absolutely delicious. I had the chicken BBQ plate and the bride had the storied short ribs dish. We shared a side salad. The chicken was delicious and a huge portion. The bride thought the short ribs were mediocre. Once we finished eating it took about 30 minutes to get the check. He said people had called in sick and there was only one waiter. He tried, but was in the weeds most of the night.

We found this spot through the OT community, so thank you. The experience was awesome. It is laid back, the service is good & attentive. The food is amazing. The bread, olives, etc to start are too good. Be aware you have dinner yet to arrive. Definitely a must visit restaurant. We hope you enjoy..
