I can’t say enough about this place. The ambiance and location is simply breathtaking. I read some shady and weird reviews about the food and service, ignore them. These people don’t know what they’re talking about. My husband and I travel extensively and fine dine around the world, and also enjoy local, no fuss divey places as well. We’re all about supporting local and small businesses. And this place is a dream. The owner had a vision and he created this! And you can experience what he manifested! Also; Don’t go to a high class joint and think you’re going to eat on a budget. Don’t be stupid. Plan to splurge or don’t go at all! Seriously! I’ll tell you why. We went here twice. The first time, we drove up just to take a look and make reservations because we couldn’t get in touch with anyone. I was having issues getting a table. Underdressed, we walked up and the staff was unbelievably welcoming! They were like: please stay! Listen to some music! Have a drink! Watch the sunset! I literally had on janky sneakers and a beach dress, and my sister had on flip flops! We had been to Katishma so we were not ready to go inside. The staff were unpretentious and so welcoming, they showed us around and we ended up having drinks by the bar, watched the sunset and made reservations for dinner a few days later. Upon our second visit, we dressed up a bit and had the most perfect table. We listened to music, had the most incredible dinner (made to perfection), paired with a phenomenal bottle of wine, some noteworthy desserts and watch the sunset on top of the hills. It was amazing. Regarding the staff and service: spectacular! Well trained, organized, ontop of their game. If I lived in Lefkada, I would go here over and over again, that’s how amazing this place is. I realize it’s a bit pricy but do yourself a favor, splurge and go. It’s well worth the drive. Have a drink by the bar ;no reservations required but do dress up; don’t be a nerd like me and just show up) or go all out and reserve a table. But do GO!...

What I appreciate the most about this place is its transparency. Everything is clearly outlined online – from the concept to the prices. It’s clearly stated that the restaurant operates exclusively with reservations, and for those without one, there’s always the bar area, which is just as beautiful and welcoming.

Regarding parking, there is a paid option available for €8, but if that doesn’t suit you, you can park for free just a short walk away (around 200–300 meters).

Indeed, if you’ve reserved a table, you’re allocated two hours for your stay – which, in our case, was more than enough. Afterward, you’re welcome to move to the bar area, where you can stay as long as you like and even order food there as well.

We’ve visited twice, once with a €50 menu and once with a €90 menu per person. In both cases, the staff treated us with the same professionalism and courtesy. There was no discrimination whatsoever – only great service and top-quality food. After our dining time, we moved to the bar, where they serve excellent sushi and where you can take as many pictures as you wish – no one minds.

It’s worth noting that in the premium area, photos are only allowed at your own table, which I find respectful and appropriate – it helps maintain the atmosphere without making others uncomfortable. I personally managed to take some lovely photos during my first visit, as I arrived early and the place was still quiet. On our second visit, at 8:45 PM – peak time – I chose not to take pictures out of respect for the ambiance.

As for the food, it’s truly on another level. Portions are medium-sized, which means you leave the table feeling satisfied but not heavy. I highly recommend the Chocolate dessert if you enjoy the combination of sweet and slightly salty – it was a highlight!

In terms of location and visuals, I don’t need to say much – the pictures you’ll find online speak for themselves.

Overall, I can honestly say we had a wonderful experience each time, and if I get the chance, I’d...
