    Our dinners were delicious. My husband and I shared the shepherd’s salad and then had the lamb kebab and the Coban Kavurma. Both were very tasty. I would have liked some warning that the green pepper on my plate with the lamb kebab was super spicy so that I could have avoided that. The kebab came with rice and shredded salad. I would have preferred cooked vegetables as we had already ordered salad. Service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely return for dinner. I would also like to see lunch specials on the menu.

    Had dinner with friends at Naxos today. Food was delicious! We all enjoyed our dinner very much. The whole Black Sea Bass dish was one of the best we’ve tasted. The Grilled Shrimp Kyklades (ladolemono, baked eggplant, tomato and feta) was so, so good! Seaside Halibut (gigantes, avocado, and kapia pepper salad, lemon-dill vinaigrette) was excellent; as was the scallops dish. Will definitely return. On our next visit, we’ll ask to be seated farther away from the bar area, which has a fantastic vibe, but for this particular dinner, we would have liked a quieter section of the restaurant as we had some catching up to do and it was a bit loud to have a conversation. Restaurant has a Beautiful ambience. The owner is very gracious. She came up to us to ask if we had enjoyed our dinner, and even took some pictures of us by the Naxos sign. Looking forward to our next dinner here!
