Perfect as always. Shout out to Caesar who is attentive, friendly and a class act guy. The food was stupendous. The meat platter for 4 was delectable. And all the starters are great. We love the shepherds salad with feta, the hummus and the babaganoush. The falafel too! Thank you for all the hard work.

My husband and I had a wonderful Valentine's Day lunch at this restaurant. It was our first time here. It's so beautiful- like being in a restaurant in a Greek resort town. Everything was great - food, service and cocktail list. Also a nice selection of Greek wines. Can't wait to go back in nicer weather and experience the outdoor patio.
