    It was a very busy night but the food was absolutely perfect. The seafood, chicken and steaks were cooked exactly to our requirements. Have never had a bad meal here to be honest. Took a while to get drinks from the bar but staff were polite and efficient. Desserts were yummy too and our table of 6 had a good night.

    I had a chicken and lamb yiro which was delicious. Ample filling and very appetising. The petite dessert was extra special as I love chocolate torte and baklava so could have both without having to make a decision. The only disappointment was the coffee. It wasn’t served very hot and maybe it was the coffee blend but it didn’t taste quite right. Service was excellent especially as the restaurant was busy with Christmas parties. Staff were also great. 9/10 overall.
