Dining here was amazing!! So once to have local jazz and delicious food offered locally. It is usually something I travel into the city CBD for but look no further! The staff were so proactive in helping and serving, not the mention the food was delicious. I really hope they keep the Sunday night jazz and cocktail deal as it was definitely a seller for making me a repeat customer.

The service was not very good. The waiters seemed lost and our table was crowded with plates but no one would come to clear the table. They kept bringing out dishes but there was no room to put them on the table. Overall 2/5.

My friends & I were there for dinner. The ambience was great & the drinks & food were really lovely & fresh. The portions were just right. Had the chilli crab ravioli. It was delicious. The only downside with the menu was that there was only 2 choices for dessert & no coffee. We expected good coffee for a. Italian restaurant. But the Tiramisu we had was really yummy. If we had to give a suggestion the only thing we found they could improve was on the service. The staff didn’t really pay much attention to us or clear the plates when we finished. Other than that the staff were courteous & friendly. I would definitely go back & recommend it to anyone looking for a good restaurant in the Rhodes area.
