    Wow, this place definitely lives up to the hype! My friend has been a regular since it first opened and suggested Naxos to celebrate our friend’s birthday. From the warm, friendly staff to the incredible food, everything exceeded expectations. The crudo is some of the best I’ve ever had—including throughout the Mediterranean! The fish was so fresh, I almost wondered if it swam straight to the restaurant just hours before being prepared. Highly recommend. Enjoy!
