Destination rooftop for sunsets and cocktails with stylish vibes; food ranges from decent to very good but service and door policy can be inconsistent.
Restaurant Summary
High above the waterfront, the room feels warm and bustling as the sun sinks into the Cretan Sea. Guests rave about candlelit tables, a stylish boho-chic look, and cocktails that match the view. One diner summed it up: "Sunset made the whole evening feel cinematic," though a few note service can lag when it is packed. The cooking leans contemporary Mediterranean comfort with premium touches rather than theatrics—think pizzas, risottos, tacos, and serious steaks. Many praise burrata, pizzas, and mushroom risotto, while others found chicken dishes bland or mains arriving lukewarm at peak times. Come for the ambiance and cocktails first, then pick proven plates; this is an experience-forward venue more than a chef temple. Families will do best early. There is pizza, burgers, and simple pasta that kids recognize, but later hours skew lively with DJ energy. Book a table facing the sea if bringing children, and skip the club downstairs; the rooftop’s sunset seats are the real draw for family-friendly timing.
