As usual, the food was amazing! We had Seabass and the chicken souvlaki, and both were fresh and delicious. The cocktails and wine selection was completely to be desired. it was cozy and well decorated. The service was excellent, and the staff very attentive. Definitely one of my favorite spots!

I thoroughly enjoyed the diverse food options and the reasonable prices. However, I was disappointed with the second-floor dining room. It was extremely cold, almost like an unventilated attic. I would definitely return if they could accommodate me on the first floor. 5-Stars if you’re not dining on the second floor when it’s below 40 degrees outside.
