Came back twice while we were here. Lamb chops were solid, old river salad too. Staff actually remembered us which was nice.

Came for a late lunch, grabbed a table right on the beach. Greek salad was spot on&mdash;tomatoes actually tasted like something, feta was proper. Staff didn&#39;t rush us even though it was getting busy. Bill was fair for being that close to the water. Would sit there again.

Markous the waiter really made the difference here. He remembered our names and orders all week, even made a custom cocktail. Food was solid and portions generous. Good spot for the price.

The grilled mixed fish souvlaki was fresh and well-seasoned. Portions were generous too. I just wish they had a few more veggie sides to balance it out.

The service here really stood out&mdash;attentive without hovering. They even helped me pick a wine that paired beautifully with the grilled octopus. Solid spot if you&#39;re into thoughtful hospitality.

The beef stew was incredibly tender and felt properly homemade. I liked that they didn&#39;t overload it with salt or oil. Portion was generous for the price, though the place got a bit busy around noon.

The chicken bifteki in bread was so fresh and tasty. Service was quick too. Just not much seating inside, so I&#39;d grab takeaway if it&#39;s busy.

Stopped by for a late lunch and the owner totally made the place. Super friendly, cracking jokes, clearly loves what he does. He even gave us a little bag of herbs from his garden on the way out. Food was solid, nothing crazy, but that personal touch stuck with me. Would go back just for that.

The tzatziki and grilled lamb were spot on. Real traditional Greek cooking, no shortcuts. Place was busy but we got our food quick enough.

Came here twice while we were in the area. Grilled meats were done right, fries nice and crispy. They even brought out some raki and fruit at the end, which was a nice touch. Service was friendly the whole time. Only thing is it can get a bit busy, but we didn&#39;t mind.

The lamb casserole was spot on again&mdash;tender, rich, just like last time. They even threw in a little dessert at the end, which I didn&rsquo;t expect. Still my go-to spot around here.

We stopped by for lunch and the owner brought out a small plate of extra pita with cheese while we waited. That was a nice touch. The moussaka was solid, layers were soft and the meat was seasoned well. Grilled octopus was tender, not rubbery. Simple place, very clean. I&#39;d go back for the octopus alone.

Came for the gyros, stayed for the fireplace. Place is small and cozy, staff actually seemed happy we were there. Greek salad was fresh, big portion too. Gyros were solid, nothing crazy but hit the spot. Maybe a bit slow on the refill but whatever. Would sit by the fire again.

Good value &mdash; the meal for two was plenty for three of us, even had leftovers. Free raki and watermelon at the end was a nice touch.

Came here for a quick bite and left completely full. Portions are seriously big for the price. I got the moussaka and it was solid&mdash;maybe not the best I&#39;ve had, but comforting and homemade-tasting. Service was fast, which I appreciated since I was starving. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot.
