The food was so comforting and delicious. The rib dish melted in my mouth. The service was incredible - kind, thoughtful, and just really lovely. It’s hard to put into words, but the service just felt so genuine. They were perfectly accommodating of my food sensitivities, even making a substitution with a cilantro chutney that was so good I was eating it by the spoonful, which was a big bonus. This was our 3rd time there and every time it’s just great.

Food was great restaurant seemed understaffed with some very large tables. Which probably made the kitchen slow. The calamari had a weird sauce with it which was a bit unexpected. Seemed like mayo with an addition of lemon. Maybe just stick to tsatziki. I would make that request next time Otherwise was all good and what’s to be expected of a higher end Greek restaurant
