    Overall experience : AMAZING! Food, service and ambiance were amazing. The only thing: GPS couldn’t find the restaurant. Probably pin need to be linked to the hotel nearby.

    My wife & I had an excellent sea bass to share, which whilst it wasn't cheap, was exceptional and very fresh. Excellent service all round, especially the filleting of the fish which was done very professionally. Also enjoyed the touch where the staff share a glass of raki with you at the end, good fun.

    Lovely, stylish restaurant serving excellent food & wines. We pushed the boat out and shared a tomahawk steak, which whilst it was very expensive was staggeringly good and cooked to perfection. Very professionally taken off the bone to be served and the accompanying dishes were also delightful. We were kindly served a dessert to share which was equally tasty and well presented and we stuck to our preference of only drinking Cretan wines and as usual wasn't let down by some very good red wine. A lovely experience.
