Great atmosphere, nice music on the background, staff is very nice, helpful, yet unobtrusive. They know the menu and ready to suggest a dish or answer questions. Plates are somewhat on the smaller side, but the food is fresh and you can taste the difference: tomatoes taste like a ripe tomato should taste, fish is tender and delicious. Saganaki served with a nice presentation and tastes like it should, I prefer it served with jam, but in this case it tastes well solo. Try their octopus, of course. It is not a cheapest place in the area, but well worth it.

I've been to this restaurant several times and it's such a delicious and comforting place. Whenever we had fish or meat, everything was delicious! Every time we go we have their special tiny sardine sandwiches as appetizer, always great starter. Last time we had small dorada filler, rib-eye, Greek-style eggplant, horiatiki salad and mouth-watering saganaki. Yum! Keep in mind fish sold by weight, so it wouldn't come to you by surprise with a bill. It's preferrably to pay in cash to avoid card charge, don't ask - don't know. I love their tiramisu, so save some space for a dessert.

I was planning on going to another restaurant near Yiasou, but after reading their menu, I decided to try this place - I've passed by it so many times! I loved the atmosphere; it was very comfortable and spacious and the music was very calming. We ordered braised mussels, a combination Greek spread, grilled octopus (it was amazing), a grilled chicken kabob dish with sauteed vegetables, and a lamb dish with orzo. I was hesitant because I thought the orzo would be overcooked and mushy, but it wasn't. The lamb also came right off the bone. Chicken and beef are common things I eat, but lamb isn't and it didn't disappoint! Everything was so delicious we ended up ordering espresso and tiramisu, just to sit a while longer and have conversation. I believe Mediterranean dishes are healthier and "cleaner" than what I normally eat. Everything was so appetizing and I ate a lot, but I didn't feel sluggish or too stuffed like other greasy foods. The waiters and staff were also very attentive and quick to replace utensils and dishes, and serve our food. I will definitely be coming back to this place. I'm upset I hadn't tried out this place sooner!
