  2 days ago i was with my family in this restaurant and i should say that everything was pretty fine until the boss, a woman and a waiter started shouting... read more in the middle of the restaurant in front of all the costumers. The had literally no consideration for anything and it was like they were alone. The woman was pretty loud and i don't care who was right or who was wrong because the entire experience was ruined and we left with an extremely unpleasant feeling.

  On first impressions this looked like a perfect spot for us to eat and the reviews looked good. We ordered food and drink at the same time. The drinks arrived... read more halfway through the main meal. The food looked like it had been thrown on the plate. They own a cat, as do I, and while I love them I don't let mine paw my lap while I eat. The owners wife came out an apolagised as we were leaving and offered a free fruit salad and then as I was paying the bill said if we could come back we would get a free bottle of her husbands wine. Needless to say we declined all and will not be going back

I don't eat seafood but saw it being brought in fresh each day so that's also reassuring.
I had cold coffee each morning, and ate here most evenings or lunchtimes. The briam is excellent, and the gemiste too are huge. Betty even got in some vegan friendly desserts for me! If you have a specific diet just ask, they have plenty of options which Betty can tell you.

The owners Betty and Alex (the captain) are really welcoming and the restaurant has a genuine authentic feel with flowers everywhere and traditional music. I would definitely recommend.
