Read moreDuring our vacations we just come back to this place twice in a row! What a lovely and comfy experience. The food is really good and taste just like homemade. First time we had the Croquettes (Amazing, they are a MUST in this place), the wine leaves, and the Super Bass fish (fresh and very tasty). The second time we repeat the Croquestes, and try the lamb with smashed egg plant (smoked and tasty) and the Octopus with a a nice salad with onion and zucchini (lime touch, very elegant flavor); the dish was exceptionally well-prepared and enjoyable. The octopus was perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful, with complementary ingredients served with an excellent presentation. The salads' ingredients enhance the octopus, not overpower it. REALLY GOOD. The deserts are ok, nothing special, but I would like to highlight the Melon with the Greek icecream, very interesting flavor combination. To summ up, the cuisine of this restaurant uses fresh and seasonal ingredients simply prepared in a traditional geeek way, such as grilled, baked, or fried, allowing the natural flavors of the island to come right to you. The servide was really nice (thanks Alex for all the recommendations, he really guide us through the whole menu), and the vibe of the place is very warm surrounded by friendly greek people and also nice traditional greek music. Fairly priced. We...
