Amazing food and service. The lamb skewers on the meat platter were heavenly. Dessert menu is small but don’t let that fool you every item is delicious. Definitely try the Galaktoboureko if you have never had the chance.

Great place and awesome service. Love the thick cut Calamari which was lightly battered. I would recommend everyone to have their Fried Cauliflower which was so tasty. Kid loves their Chicken tenders which was so tender. will definitely be back to try out other dishes!

Came down to Phillip Island with a group of 5 of my girlfriends and we felt very very welcomed and looked after. Came at about 5pm on a Friday when it was seemingly quiet, we ordered a few dishes including the meat platter, saganaki, fried zucchini, vegan bowl and veg moussaka. We had a couple of girls with dietary requirements and staff was very helpful and accommodating. Restaurant became very busy shortly but staff still checked in with us throughout and even offered to help us take group photos. Ambience was super lively and we loved the food.
