    The wait staff were really nice but the food kind of tasted all the same. There was no outstanding dish, but everything was just good. The dips were great, but the octopus was overcooked and had a really bitter flavour. We got the snapper for fish of the day and the stuffed eggplant, and both were overdone and lacked flavour. A bit of a shame because I had been looking forward to coming here for a while - but everything to do with the booking was great. Staff and ambiance were great.

    We had a lovely dinner, with everything on the menu being exceptional, and the service fantastic. There was a little bit of a wait on cocktails but pretty much couldn’t fault this great space otherwise. The menu is well thought out with good variety of many Greek classics without being too overwhelming. The Hilopites, Kleftiko were real standouts. Some of the best Greek we’ve had outside of Greece.

    We enjoyed our meal, the service was excellent however I think it was very overpriced. The wine glasses were also small serves. The bill was about $230 for 3 people with 1 drink each. The most annoying thing was when we checked the bill, we were overcharged on the bill not just for each of our drinks but for a 3rd bottle of sparkling water. I have to question whether this is accidental? It’s worth checking the bill

    Quite simply one of the best, if not, the best Greek restaurant in Melbourne. Great food, exceptional service and a great drinks list. The cocktails, in a particular, are first rate.

    "We had a great experience. The staff were nice, the food was good, as was the wine, and the selection of Greek and non-Greek alcoholic beverages. We enjoyed the cocktails based on Greek spirits. The ambience was great. We had a wonderful time and I will be going again.
