  • "Service was great. Waitress gave us plenty of time between courses. Gave us space but was still attentive."

Cons:

  • "It took approximately 20 minutes before we were even offered a glass of water."
  • "Very bad customer service called in an advance to make reservation for 8 pm. Asked specifically if we don’t have to wait and manager answer was yes that we have table for 8 pm. We were waiting for half an hour for a table at the end we had to leave and go to other more friendly restaurant."
  • "Very disappointed and hungry! Made a reservation for 8pm for 4 people... Had to stand with two kids and wait for 33min."

Cons:

  • "The fries were undercooked, I had to put them in the air fryer to finish cooking them."
  • "The fish with spinach and beans was good but the fish was over cooked. It was dry."
  • "Food quality has also gone down, with both lamb chops and steak being extremely over cooked from the temperatures requested, tuna tartare being chewy (disgusting) and desserts being flavorless and dry."
  • "Horyatiki salad had huge chunks of tomato’s no flavor and egg plant chips tasted like they were in the fridge."
