    The staff are warm and friendly. The restaurant has an intimate and authentically Greek/mediterranean feel. The menu is varied and with regional focus and plenty of variety, tasty and nutritious, traditional and healthy meals. The wine list is excellent. My family and I really like coming here, we feel at home. The music nights are celebratory and joy filled.
