The food and atmosphere was lovely and the waitress was very helpful with asking the kitchen about my dietary requirements. I would happily return and the Greek music was a really nice touch on the Saturday night that we went. I highly recommended trying this place for beautiful traditional Greek food! :)

This was my 5th visit to this restaurant. The quality of food seemed in decline on the previous visit. This time it was poor. If this had been my first visit, I would be unlikely to return. I am in any case unlikely to return soon.

The food was absolutely delicious and the service was outstanding. I’m a coeliac and they took care of everything ensuring all my food was gluten free. As a bonus our lovely waitress made a suggestion for a wine to have with our diner and it was outstanding. Paired perfectly and was delicious.

Good food, reasonable value. Staff were good, but service was slow and our meals trickled out of the kitchen. We were a group of 8

Food was good but much too noisy. There was a large table of women next to us who had very loud laughs and generally wry noisy. We found it almost impossible to have a conversation.

Came here for to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant gave the birthday girl a free glass of champagne! They sat us at the balcony, perfect spot overlooking Yarra River. We ordered to share with a mix of 4-5 appetisers and the Mixed Grill Platter. Initially worried it was not enough food but it was the perfect amount. We left with our bellies filled. Also, honestly, best Greek food I've ever had (even beating *cough*ites in the CBD). All-in-all, great experience and will definitely come back for more!
