Went back a second time before we left&mdash;that says enough. Got the grilled octopus and a carafe of their house wine, which paired better than I expected for something so simple. The place keeps it casual, no fuss, just honest Greek cooking. Only hiccup was the service slowed down when it got busy, but the food made up for it.

Right on the harbor, watching the boats while we ate. Pizza was thin and crispy, just how I like it. Quick service too. Been here a few times now, always consistent.

Came back here twice during our stay in Lassi 😅 the staff actually remembered us which was kinda sweet. food was solid both times, that view does most of the work honestly.

The French toast was so light and fluffy, and that harbour view made it even better. Cappuccino was solid too. Just wish I could&rsquo;ve stayed longer.

The sunbeds sold it for us&mdash;free once you hit &euro;30 on food and drinks. Greek salad was fresh, gyros decent. Staff kept things moving.

We came around 8pm and it was packed, but the staff kept things moving fast. I had the grilled fish&mdash;you can tell they use their own boat because it tasted like it was caught that morning. Simple, fresh, no fuss. Just wish they had a few more vegetable sides, but the fish alone was worth it.

Went three times. The grilled octopus was the best thing I had on the island. Tender, smoky, not rubbery at all. The fish soup was decent too. Portions could be bigger for the price, but the taste made up for it. Kept going back just for that octopus.

The grilled octopus is still as good as the first time I came here. Calamari was crispy too, not chewy at all. Portions are generous for the price.

The view over the mountains and fields is beautiful, and the food matches it. The fried zucchini and tzatziki were particularly good, and the prices are very reasonable.

Stopped here for a drink after the beach. Cocktails were solid, strong enough. The view over Xi Beach with the clay cliffs is the real draw. Staff were nice, sunbeds comfy. Just note the front row costs 20 euros. Fine for a one-off, but not cheap for what it is.

The crushed roast potato with cherry tomato was honestly the highlight for me. So simple but so good. We also got the pappardelle with meatballs, which was solid. Service was friendly and quick. Came back the next night because it was that good. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger.

Stopped for coffee, stayed for dinner twice. Shrimp saganaki was spot on, and their orange cake paired nicely with a late-night ouzo.

The blue and white decor is nice, and the seafood risotto was pretty good. Kefalonian meat pie tasted homemade too. Only thing&mdash;house wine came warm, not chilled. Would&#39;ve preferred it cold.

Stopped by for coffee and cake, the sea view really does it. Lemon meringue pie was good, tangy and sweet. Baklava came out huge, dripping with honey. Place felt warm, even on a grey day. Just wish they&#39;d wiped our table before we sat down, little things.

The garden seating is what sold me&mdash;shaded, breezy, not too crowded for a weekday lunch. Food was simple but solid, exactly what you want when you&#39;re not looking for anything fancy. Staff checked in just enough without hovering. Only thing is the tables are a bit close together, but for the vibe, I&#39;d still come back.

The yogurt ice cream with honey and walnuts is the one to get. So creamy, not too sweet. Savory pies are pretty big too, could easily share one. Nice spot right by the bay, though it got a bit busy when I was there.

Stopped by for lunch after the beach. The ladies there are lovely, really make you feel welcome. Had the moussaka, pretty solid, proper homemade taste. Portions are big, and they bring out little extras like tzatziki and even a slice of frozen cheesecake at the end. Nice touch. Place is simple but that&#39;s fine.

The seafood pasta was really fresh, light on the sauce which I liked. Beautiful spot for a slow lunch, though it did get a bit busy around 2pm.

Lovely spot by the sea, jazz playing, yachts passing by. The aubergine tempura was really good but the ravioli portion felt a bit small for the price. Fine for a drink though.

Fish was fresh, cooked right. Greek salad and fries did the job too. Price though... kinda steep for what it is. I mean, you&#39;re paying for quality, so no real complaints. Just don&#39;t come here expecting a cheap meal. Solid spot if you&#39;re okay with that.

Right on the water, nice view of the bridge. Grilled shrimp and calamari were fresh, service quick. Prices fair for the spot.

Came for brunch and the pancakes with yogurt, nuts and honey were really good. Portions are big, no complaints there. The space itself is pretty nice too, decent seating, not too cramped. Service was polite, nothing fancy but fine. Just wish the coffee was a bit stronger, but that&#39;s a small thing.

Stopped here for lunch after seeing the boats. Food was fresh, pretty good. Had the grilled fish, came out simple but done right. Staff were friendly enough, not over the top. Free beach loungers with your meal is a decent perk. Place has a bit of a quirky boat theme, adds character. Fine for a casual stop.

Stopped in for a drink before dinner&mdash;the cocktail list had some nice Greek touches. Didn&#39;t eat, but the bar area was lively and perfect for watching the street go by. Service was quick even though it was packed. Would&#39;ve liked a bit more room at the bar, but that&#39;s on me for coming late.
