Wow is all I can say. The menu is so very unique. The chef has created his own take on Japanese cuisine. The sea bass ceviche was the best we’ve ever had. All of the other menu items we had were excellent as well. We ate a Nobu in Istanbul a week earlier, and this restaurant blew it away. Additionally, the view of Athens, the sunset and Acropolis is as good as it gets.

The ambiance is very chic and the views of the Acropolis lit up at night are stunning. The menu is creative with plenty of choices. I found the artistic presentation of the food outmatched the actual execution of the dishes. Everything was good but nothing stood out as fantastic . The wines by the glass were a bit lacking as well. Service was professional yet lacking in warmth or engagement. There was no conversation about any of the menu, only the bare minimum of taking our order and dropping it off to the table.

Wow what an evening we had. The service was impeccable, the attention to detail by the team was second to none and the food was outstanding. Each dish delicately prepared and presented perfectly. The perfect end to my husbands 40th birthday celebrations, sat on a warm rooftop overseeing views of the acropolis and the dj played the right music for the setting and occasion. The atmosphere was buzzing but not in a pretentious or party way, just perfectly chilled vibes with the right amount of attitude! Thank you for a truly magnificent evening.
