May 20, 2026"Best place to be, service was superb, waitress was always visible and friendly and we also enjoyed their food except for their prawns we bought for takeaway"

May 14, 2026"It is a great venue for a special night out, alone, with a pet, as a couple or as a large group or family. The food prices are fair compared to other quality venues. The service is excellent and the food is fantastic! Really great traditional Greek dishes and desserts including Halva ice cream. The venue is pet friendly and the view overlooking the marina and dipping pool is very pleasant. Always best to call and book in advance. They ran out of baklava and the wifi wasn't working but it didn't dampen the mood."
