Maiami

Really enjoyed this place, have now been back four times! We fell in love with the food, service and atmosphere here. Their new pizza menu is incredible - the best pizza on the island by far. We ate the salsicca, which was sweet, spicy, and salty, with a crispy and chewy dough - a pizza aficionado’s dream. We spoke with the owners and they mentioned they spent two years developing it. We also had the 7 courses for their new years menu which was equally delicious. As expected, the wine is great -from their own winery and the vibe is like a chic art museum. Highly recommend - 10/10.

Great food, love that they ferment the pizza dough for 72hrs! I also had the zucchini dakos which was fresh and crunchy. Plus that the interior is quite nice.

Update: Well decided to give Maiami an other chance this early spring and the experience was very different. The food choices was much better even though some dubious items remains on the menu. The Dakos with the mushrooms this time was exceptional. The Lemon Pasta was well executed also. Gone was the excess salt in everything. So execution had improved a lot. This time there was a DJ performing and his music choices were interesting and eclectic. There was not many people in the restaurant on a week day but there was a mix of Americans obviously there to see Alexandra and some locals that were used to the place for drinks and a good time. While this was out of season there were some expats also but maybe less of the Brexit refugee kind. Overall the staff was again top notch, the cocktails on point and this seasonal selection of wine more to our taste (but that again is subjective). I will leave the original review until I have had the opportunity to do a couple more tests and confirmed that originally we had hit a bad winter day. Original review: The decor and staff are top notch but the food is a major let down. Dishes are an attempt at sophistication but are unfortunately failing miserably. This is so unfortunate as this is the same team as Salis in the harbor. Here the weird condescending attitude is gone and the staff are real professionals with a relaxed yet highly professional attitude and display polished manners and great suggestions. The decor while an attempt at an artsy ambiance feels like it was decorated by a 5 year old (apologies I know it is the owner’s art) but strangely it works in the art deco building with a magnificent bar made of rich colored wood and marble. The contrast with the over-naive art actually works and create a place that one wants to like. The music sound track is eclectic and feels like it comes from a French streaming platform that will remained unnamed and matches the place brilliantly creating an eclectic atmosphere. Over all this is a great place to have a drink but not food. Regarding the food while there is inspiration, the menu feels like it is aimed at middle aged English people who like bland tastes and believe that salt is a spice. Regarding salt the chef must either is stricken by agnosie or fails to taste his creations. Kalas salt must be a sponsor as everything is way too salty. The wine list is the opposite of Salis here, virtually no choice outside of the house wines made by the family of the owner. The result a very limited list with only one white wine and the red ones are not even the best that the family produces unfortunately. Cocktails are inventive and a better choice for drinks. So a lot of potential in a beautiful funky locale but a disappointing failure on food unfortunately, only moneyed English customers will/might be happy. Did not give more than one stars as a restaurant no matter how great it is on the outside is really as great as the food it offers.

Surprisingly good place, well thought and hearty food, and very welcoming and professional service. In a less touristic part of the port, but still with amazing views.

Have been here many times to eat at thw restaurant or to take food away. The process for take away can be optimised, as it does not meet the timing. But I always like enjoying the food very much. The taste of the dishes is not always the same, but never less good. For example the glass of white wine for 6 Euro 0.1l or 0.15l for a vineyard owner is to my mind too high.

Currently having one of the best meals of my life at this restaurant and I’m absolutely shook this place doesn’t have 5 stars. The almond side of the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde pizza changed my life. I’m a different person now and I’m going to come back and eat here tomorrow. And maybe the next day. Damn.

This was a special food experience. High praise to the chef for synthesizing such great flavor. From the salad to the dips to the main course everything was exceptional. Definitely would go back ! A+++

Best food in Chania, especially in the winter, hands down! Went there three times, with a mostly vegetarian crowd. Tried just about 70pct of the menu. The chef/owner and his wife are FAB!!!
