We had dinner tonight in this FAMILY owned taverna and the menu has a very nice variety of options "meze" for everyone. A really great way to try more traditional things. In addition to the very good food, we had a delightful service. The waitress-owners-chefs, Zoi and her husband Antonis made us feel like one of them, not just a tourist passing by. We truly felt so good here. They had just the right balance of friendliness and efficiency. Also Zoi's mother made sure that we had everything we needed. Most of the tables were with locals and the atmosphere was really Greek. The place itself is pleasant and cozy. Such a nice experience. We will be back definitely tomorrow! Highly recommend it to absolutely everyone visiting the island.

Good food and a gorgeous view, but the staff took some minutes to warm up to us. Gradually, they became very friendly and polite though.

They specialize in small plates, so you can share your food with others or order 2 or 3 dishes for yourself. Many of them are hits (like the Giant Beans with Sausages, Rhodian Falafels, Fried Pork with Vegetables, Fried Pork with Honey and the Souffle), while there are some misses like the Chicken a la Creme.

But, as a friendly advice, DO NOT order the extra spicy sausage. A friend did (despite the warnings of the kind waitress) and it was indeed incredibly and excruciatingly spicy. It was tasty but after 2 bites you literally couldn't feel anything anymore.

The view was very nice and the service was prompt, even if a bit cold in the beginning. I guess the reason was that we arrived just after they opened up. But after some minutes the staff became friendlier and attentive.

The prices are very reasonable, and you will find yourself spending very little money, especially if you're not a huge gourmand.

Definitely a must if...
