Everything was exceptional. I would describe it as the purest and finest taste of local food. Definitely worth of going Only one warning of people who’s afraid of heights.. the road on top of the mountain was very scary for me, and driving down in the dark was even worse.. other than that, restaurant and food 10/10.

The place of this restaurant lays next to a very quiet road. The location though gives very nice view to the surroundings (both sides of the road). The staff is very friendly and the food is also very Delicious.

An ideal place for an evening meal and relaxation. Beautiful view and lovely atmosphere. Professional and friendly staff members. The food was amazing! Went for the sea menu and it definitely hit the spot!! Well priced too! Even the chef came out twice to check on us, which emitted an even better vibe! Would definitely recommend!!!
