enjoyed our lunch and food was very good, relaxing time with friends

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!

We had a great party and the food and service could not have been better.

What a wonderful dinner. Everything about the experience from the valet parking, to the hostess, to our waitress, and of course the food was first rate! Steaks (ribeye, filet, and strip) were delicious. Dessert a must if you have room. Wine list is deep. If you need a steak in a warm and inviting environment (and your credit card has a generous limit) this is your spot.
