This is authentic Greek food. The food is delicious and the service excellent. High quality all the way, it was great taking my non Greek friends here and them discovering that Greek food is more than the standard grill taverna food. They all loved it from entree to dessert. The fish of the day was succulent and tasty.

From the time we entered, the owner Paris and his staff made us feel welcome. I loved the new look in the place, far more modern and appealing than my last visit some years ago under other owners. I did not like the experience back then but the experience this time under Paris's management is outstanding. Prompt service with a smile and the food was excellent. This is coming from an Australian of Greek heritage. I highly recommend it. Thank-you Paris and to your team. Paris even can outside when we left to thank us and wish us a nice day.
