   Firstly the food was excellent. My seafood paella was fantastic! Cocktails were good. Need a bit of acoustic damping in there though - it’s a little loud.

   Disappointing. Appetizers and drinks were fine. Good variety. Had the spanakopita, fried olives and steak tartar. They lost us on the entrees. Had the filet mignon and lobster buccatini. Neither were served hot. We sent back the filet and they brought it back blackened. We said we didn’t want it anymore. Then they offered a new one. Too late. We just wanted to leave. Came home and made scrambled eggs. We’re locals and won’t be going back.

   There was some sort of a public festival happening in the city we, being out of the area, were not aware of. Parking is usually not an issue, but due to the event, parking was impossible to find, so we called the restaurant apologizing we would be late. Despite being very busy, they held a table for us and welcomed us when we finally arrived. We sat outside on the heated patio and had a fantastic dinner. The souvlaki was tender and delicious. Good selection of wines and great service. We will be back!

   What a beautiful restaurant! From the moment we stepped in, we were warmly greeted by the staff and led to our table. The aesthetic and the vibe is perfect. We started with some appetizers, the dips, saganaki, and the zucchini fritters. We had the souvlaki and the fish as our mains, and they were all excellent. Our waiter was exceptional, some of the best service I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend and will be going back!

   My wife and I have enjoyed dinner there four times already and the service has been outstanding along with the food. The noise level does get a little loud on Friday and Saturday nights, but it’s just lively!
