We sat at the bar for dinner, and it was very entertaining chatting with the entertaining bar tender/server. Our food was beyond delicious, each item was cooked to perfection! We started our meal with cocktails and warm rustic bread with goat butter, a luscious spread. We then shared the "GARIDES ME GIGANDES, " "PESTROFA" and "PANTZARIA." (See menu for translations.) Service was very friendly, which we felt was genuine. All in all, a great evening!
