Started with Well crafted cocktails. Had some appetizers of octopus, smelts, shrimp. Followed with a Greek salad. Mains were halibut, beef souvlaki, paella. Everything was delicious, service was well paved and attentive. Enjoyed the music performance also which was not overwhelmingly loud allowing g us to talk. C as my wait to go again.

Delicious food. Far superior to the typical Greek cafe fare one usually finds. Fancy cocktails too.

I have been there a few times with several friends. The food is always great. Good drinks selection great service in fact very accommodating. If you’re inside it can be loud because there is a DJ and it has a very lively ambience. If you want more quiet, you can sit in the heated outdoor area or upstairs.

Excellent menu and food was delivered fast and tasty. Outstanding food taste and presentation. Service was awful. It appeared we were a bother to the waiter. No warm greetings. Bothered by our questions and lack of enthusiasm.

Good food, but pounding, throbbing, pulsing music (all we could hear was the bass) doesn’t really add to the experience.
