"Nice place to see sunset and not crowded, we didn’t make reservations but seats are available in May"
Hei Sam
"It’s a nice restaurant. The food was good, the price is average for Oia. The three different dips with pita was good but a little bit disappointed that the shrimps was served without any side, not even a bread. My swordfish was ok.
It was a nice evening there even the weather was not very nice."
Som Montree
"The place is absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. I loved everything I ordered. It was one of the great food experiences on the island. The ingredients are fresh and the preparation is authentic."
