Scenic harborside Greek seafood with mixed reviews: fresh grilled fish and friendly service for many, but inconsistent execution, upselling, and pricing disputes for others.
Restaurant Summary
Right on the old harbor, the scene is warm and bustling with lighthouse views and sunset glow. Service swings from charmingly friendly to brusque on busy nights, but many enjoy fresh fish and big platters. One diner put it simply: "The view is gorgeous and we chatted over delicious food." The cooking leans traditional Greek seafood with Cretan touches: grilled calamari, swordfish, dakos, moussaka. When the kitchen is on, flavors are clean and the grill work shines; when off, fries taste flat and oil can seem tired. It suits travelers seeking harborside classics more than culinary fireworks. Families do fine here: staff were accommodating to a baby, portions are generous, and there are kid-friendly options like grilled fish, chicken, fries, and simple dips. No dedicated kids menu noted, but the menu has enough familiar choices to keep young eaters happy.
