I love coming here when I stay at the DoubleTree. I usually just eat and drink at the bar but we had a work function so reserved for a large party. Everything was fantastic!

Excellent experience for lunch. The food was absolutely delicious and a true Greek meal. The Χωριάτικη Salad is the real Greek salad. The rest of the menu includes “traditional “ Greek recipes some of which are elevated. There is a wide selection of wines and the bar is an enjoyable spot. I highly recommend this restaurant.
