    Loved the food and the ambiance. There were so many dishes that we did not get to try that looked delicious. We will be back!

    All 7 of us were delighted with our apps and dinners. From the excellent chicken fingers for the two-year-old, to the octopus appetizer (even my wife and daughter tried and loved it!), to the Plaki, angry lobster, shrimp scampi, and the steaks, everything was top-notch and delicious. We didn't have time for dessert, since the baby was fading fast, but I would have liked to try the baklava!

    Upon walking the music was soft enough that we could hear each other the ambiance is in the grey shade & wood and soft lighting and there are just a few walls that separate the dining areas . The tables are separated enough that you had enough privacy to converce. Wait service was excellent and the menu offered many seafood options with some meat choice for those who favor meat. We chose to graze and shared the octopus that was my top choice ! I have ordered this in many restaurants throughout the world and this was outstanding ! We then had the shrimp Santorini in a seafood red sauce and it too was perfect. After that we did decide to order the Varka lobster main course to share and .. what can I say .. it was delicious!! All in all the entire dining experience was just ri

    Excellent service. I usually dine here for dinner so the lunch menu was new to me although we did start with the Greek salad and saganaki, which are staple go to apps. Both were prepared very well and consistent with past visits. I tried the fish and chips for the first time and while it was good, I thought the price was a bit steep for just one moderate size piece of fried sea bass. The platter was filled mostly with a basket of fries and accompaniments like shredded lettuce, a sliced tomato and asparagus. For the price I would stick with their simply grilled fish options, which is what I usually order for dinner. We tried the almond cake for dessert which was tasty and a nice finish to our meal.
