in the last weekBeautiful place very close to the beach. Great place for food and drink. Live music on Friday evenings - not to miss! Tried a lit of dishes, fish is obviously a must, but saganaki dishes I strongly recommend!

a week agoI don’t usually leave comments, but I hope this helps the gentleman that had my order behave when he faces criticism. I went to the restaurant after reading many reviews and ordered sardines. This gentleman kindly offered to fillet them, but it arrived relatively cold and falling apart. When I asked whether it’s fresh or frozen, I was met with an extremely rude and defensive attitude. He loudly asked other tables if they were satisfied and tried to ‘prove’ his point instead of listening. If you can’t handle polite feedback, you shouldn’t be in the service industry. Despite my respectful tone, he remained dismissive. I had to call him three times for the bill, but he ignored my call. In the end, it’s not just about the food — it’s the experience that stays with people. I hope no other customer is treated this way. For me, nothing special at this restaurant. Paid €30 for shrimp, octopus ball and a glass of ouzo. ( after cancelling sardines)

a month agoWe had a delicious meal here, all of the food was of excellent quality and was delivered with fantastic service(thanks Ali). We came here mainly for the fish, and we weren’t disappointed, the grilled sardines were the highlight for us, but the octopus balls and calamari were also great.
