First time here and it was a great experience. We liked all the food we had. As starters octopus and beef tartare (not really classic way of preparing it, has a lot of tomato sauce, but tasty). Mains were mushroom souvlaki, half chicken and shrimp. All wonderful. No space for dessert. Will try next time, because there definitely will be a next time.

Food was good not great, service was very good, but it was very noisy in the indoor part of the restaurant. And there was also music playing which made it hard to hear other people at our own table of 4. If you wear hearing aids communication would be close to a lost cause.

The food was very good, and reasonably priced. The server was nice but she was very overwhelmed and we waited a really long time for our food, a longer time for our check, and it made for a really really long night. They’re short staffed. We will return on a weeknight to see if it’s better.
