Great view, that’s about it. Definitely book a table in advance! We were seated on the condition that we use a 1h slot before the reservations. So much hassle to sit us in, yet twice as much wait for everything else - really not sure how they cope when it’s full. Other than all the staff being furnished with tablets, there was absolutely hands down nothing spectacular about this place. View was mediocre, would be tempted to say food too, but judging by our experience - it was the only place that made our tummies hurt on this holiday. We only had octopus and grilled veg! The vegetables were severely overcooked and looks like they were prepared in advance and reheated just before serving. To mask the smell of rotten vegetable, there was copious amount of something that resembled a balsamic vinegar reduction, generously splashed on top. We’re not sure what caused our stomach cramps and burping with oily aftertaste for hours after our meal.

Read moreMy wife and I had lovely meal here last night, we pre booked a table just be sure and we're greeted on arrival by very friendly courteous staff, we were then shown to our table and were given our menu and informed on what wasn't available that evening which was about three dishes none of which we wanted. We had the grilled vegetables and meatballs for starters which were both divine and of a good size, this was followed by us both having the rump steak that came with mash and mushrooms in a lovely sauce, the meat was out of this world and cooked to perfection with medium rare for me and well done for my wife. After eventually finishing this we then went onto the desserts and picked the chocolate brownie and ice cream with caramel sauce which again was divine, drinks were a large bottle of water and half carafe of house red to compliment the steak which went well. All in all a lovely evening and definitely our best meal so far on the island, on asking for the bill we were given some cool sweet ouzo type liqueur on the house which went down a treat, all this came to €80.50 which was very good value for such a lovely meal and we will certainly be returning before we...
