    Perfect place for a nice dinner with a sunset view. Food was delicious, portion size were reasonable and prizes are a bit higher but fits the place and views well so it’s understandable. The service is top! Special thanks to Daniel!

    Outstanding views, food and drink! A beautiful setting sun and the sparkling seas off the shores of Santorini. We ordered white wine, Greek salad, octopus as appetizers - the best we had on our entire 14 day trip! For dinner we enjoyed the fish and short rib, delicious. In a waiter mix up we also were brought the Lamb dish, and offered to enjoy it free of charge. We did. Also wonderful. Cannot go wrong with this restaurant choice!! But allow plenty of time to find it. It winds down the hill a bit. Took us over 45 minutes to locate Maps apps don't help much on Santorini :)

    A Sunset Dream with Flavors to Match Dining at this Greek restaurant by the sea felt like stepping into a postcard. The view alone is worth the visit—crimson and blood orange streaks melted into the water as the sun dipped behind the horizon. It was the kind of sunset that makes you forget to check your phone. Though our table wasn’t immediately ready, the staff were warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. Without hesitation, they offered us complimentary drinks while we waited—something rare and so appreciated. That gesture set the tone for the evening: thoughtful, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming. The highlight of the meal? The cuttlefish risotto. Silky, rich, and brimming with depth, it was a perfect balance of brine and comfort—like the ocean itself had been simmered into every bite. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this place captures everything you’d hope for in a seaside dinner: breathtaking views, gracious hospitality, and unforgettable flavors. ⸻ Anthony & Camy 💜

    Not a memorable experience. The location is beautiful by the sea. I booked the restaurant for the sunset view However the tables are placed in a way that only people by the hedge can really enjoy the view. I arrived in advance of my booking reservation (45 min earlier) The restaurant was almost empty but yet I was told that only early bookings (meaning 1 to 2 months ago) could benefit from the best views. I was therefore placed in the very back of the restaurant (again which was not full at the time and for the best part of my dinner) Then a couple left even earlier their table which was by the hedge (without eating) because of the strong wind. Yet, I was not offered to move. Other couples arrived afterwards and even without reservation and got better placed than me. Another couple also complained about this table allocation policy. The food was good though (even if a bit too salty for me) Anyway, I left the restaurant right after sunset and got in the end better photo shots and light close by than within the restaurant…. The day before I was in another famous « sunset view restaurant » and had a totally different experience…. Given the price of the menu (quite costly), the unclear table allocation « policy » (nowhere this was explained under booking conditions on the website for instance), the relatively « warm » welcome, not worth it for me…

    Such an amazing experience as first timers on the island! Our dinner was amazing, shortly after sunset we got a drink at the bar while waiting for our table and all staff was super welcoming and helpful. Even when the sun set and it was dark they provided us with a table light and offered blankets if we were cold. For my friends birthday they gave us shots and she got sorbet. Would 100% come back again if we ever make it to Santorini in the future!!!!! You get what you pay for😌
