Wow this place really worth your attention! Nice and quiet, pleasant atmosphere with white tablecloth place. Side music, and quiet conversation on the background! Service, we came in and no one was there to great us or tell us what to do, so we stood with awkward feeling for a while. Also, no matter, you like the service or you didn’t - service fee is included in you bill despite of number of your party. :( wth ? Food was great ! Octopus, calamari, sea bass, Greek salad - everything was a spot on ! It’s not on the Main Streets , you kind of have to look for it!

Very friendly service and delicious food. This place has earned its star for a reason. Perfectly balanced flavors, a wide variety of appetizers, and amazing seafood. The staff were helpful and attentive. The atmosphere was pleasant, with a charming garden area. We will definitely come back here.

We were not able to sit outside because it was cold so I feel like many of these reviews are based off the ambiance of the garden we didn’t experience. In terms of price, quality and service I was surprised to find this restaurant comes so highly recommended as it hit sub par for me. The service was far from warm, and if you have ever been anywhere Greece (apparently it’s Cretan), you will recognize right away that it is totally overpriced and the quality of the food is just ok. We spent around 70€ for two people with two glasses of wine and 3 very small meze/appetizers.
