This is a relaxed unpretentious hidden-gem in North Beach; we thoroughly enjoyed the Greek cuisine in a less than hurried setting feeling transported; always great to be near the ocean; it's welcoming and the terrace is easy-fly; food was very good and we had a great waiting staff; Freddy/Teddy and others; parking a little tricky. Would highly recommend and will return. ****

I heard good things and had high expectations. It was good to an extent but disappointing overall. The food was ok. The advertized seafood was not available. Very popular and hence there is an alloted time to dine (2 hours) then you must leave. That was disappointing as you get so caught up with the beautiful music.

I go to a lot of restaurants, and this was easily the best restaurant I’ve been to in 2025. Drinks, apps, main courses—everything was truly fabulous. The scallop crudo was probably the best I’ve had, while the oxtail udon was easily the best udon dish I’ve ever. The smoky ribs were insane, and the pork belly roll was exceptional. Will absolutely be coming back here.
