This restaurant has been a bit hit and miss in recent years but this week we enjoyed an excellent lunch. Chicken Supreme and Greek Salad with chicken. The portions were generous and the standard was high. The prices, although at the high end, are ok as the food is good. Sadly it wasn't warm enough to eat outside but afterwards we ordered coffees to be served on the terrace and the sun did show. It might make for a more sophisticated experience if the waiting staff were better trained and given uniforms including footwear. This was the only downside on this visit. Will definitely return.
