Reviews
The atmosphere was very greek. We loved the atmosphere but it was too noisy. There was a birthday party went on for the whole time next to our table, and we couldn’t really communicate well.
The staff was kind.
The food was mediocre (probably due to we were only given the set dinner menu).
Overall a poor experience and would never go back.
We came here for a birthday celebration and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The restaurant offers a large and convenient parking lot, a beautiful outdoor area with a summer terrace, elevated platform seating, and even a private tent for special occasions. Inside, the first floor features a lively bar and dining area, while upstairs there’s a private room — perfect for our group of 12.
Since we ordered everything to share, I got to try dozens of dishes — and honestly, every single one was excellent. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the prawns and langoustines were flavorful, and the calamari (both fried and grilled) was perfectly cooked. The tuna tartare was beautifully presented and melt-in-your-mouth fresh.
Although it’s a Greek restaurant, their sushi section deserves a standing ovation. We tried almost all the signature rolls and were impressed by the generous amount of fish and the delicate flavor combinations. The crab roll and the one with crispy rice stood out the most.
The main courses were phenomenal — from fish to steaks to sides, everything was spot on. Cocktails were light, refreshing, and well-balanced — just right for a festive night.
If I had to nitpick, I’d say the tea experience could use some love: they bring it out in oversized black cups (about 500ml), where you can’t see what’s inside, and the taste feels flat. I’d much prefer a proper teapot with loose leaf tea and the ability to steep it myself — the way they approach tea doesn’t match the excellence of the food.
And my personal Greek-favorite dish — zucchini chips — came with a rather bland sauce. It lacked salt, garlic, or any real punch. A bit more flavor there, and it would’ve been perfect.
They say it’s hard to get a table on weekends — and I believe it! I’ve also heard rumors of dancing on tables at the end of the week…
Looks like I’ll definitely have to come back.
