Lovely restaurant, great menu & service. Nice touch that the chef came round, to ask how we liked the food. Nice wine, we went with server's recommendation. We had cheese to start, lovely local cheeses & home made jam. Also prawn on a pebble- make sure to video it! Moussaka for main was delicious.

It was my partner’s birthday and they made us feel very special. I would recommend the tuna and shrimp starters to share… each were incredible Stuart F2025-06-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A great dining experience! Very welcoming staff and a relaxing and beautiful restaurant, very modern restaurant that breaks away from typical Cretan restaurants. Free wine tasting on arrival but we went for two lovely cocktails. I skipped starters and went for the Wagu steak whilst my partner had a tasty chicken breast with caramelised onions and mushrooms. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and ambience, background music was provided by a live DJ who knew not to overdo the volume. Marina our waitress was superb throughout and even brought out the bill as requested along with a very large bottle of Raki ( made from the owners own grapes) and two free deserts! This was totally unexpected but was the icing on the cake to a fantastic dining experience. Neil T2025-06-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
