Great moussaka. I also ate at another restaurant in Plakias, and this one definitely wins. The portions are large, and the service is very friendly.

The service was very friendly, and a very polite waiter greeted us immediately and handed us the menu. The dishes arrived promptly, delicious, fresh, and warm. A starter, dessert, and crayfish were free. It's hard to leave the table after s...

Helpful, friendly and cheerful staff! Clean restaurant! Pleasant environment but there is interference from the music of the shop next door. At the end there is a treat of dessert and raki!

We came because of the many good reviews, but unfortunately, we were disappointed. The food was okay, but nothing special, while the service was a disaster. Waiting over an hour for our food is simply unacceptable. We had finished our appe...

Excellent wine. The staff is quite friendly. The food was oversalted (moussaka) and cold. The lamb was just fat and burnt. They replaced the lamb without any problems. You can just see the burnt. I didn't have the courage to eat the moussak...

Over salted and over cooked. Used to be better quality. Lamb chops for example, burnt and blackened. Disrespectful to the customer. Not cheap

The meat and the spreads were good. I'll be very polite but the seafood is definitely all frozen and very poorly cooked. Shrimp saganaki, octopus, grilled squid well cooked. A real disappointment that a shop by the water doesn't have the ab...
