Delicious sea food, the chef options were really tasty and pair perfectly with the white wine of the house. A plus was the free refreshing ice cream for dessert 🤩. The service was incredible, especially coming from Helena 💛🌟, a very attentive, caring and cool woman! Highly recommend this place!!!

We had a wonderful lunch at this place, which was one of the recommendations from our hotel. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we were dining in someone’s home. The server warmly welcomed us and explained that they offer daily specials made from fresh, local ingredients — dishes that aren’t listed on the menu. We tried the seafood risotto with shrimp, mussels, and octopus, along with a zucchini pie and a perfectly cooked fish served with vegetables and more risotto. Everything was unbelievably delicious — full of flavor and clearly prepared with care. One of the highlights was watching the food being prepared right in front of us, adding to the homey and authentic experience. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the entire meal felt like a lovingly prepared home-cooked feast.

Great food, nice location, quick service and helpful staff. The lady owner was very nice and even let us move from inside to outside and was patient and attentive to our needs. I got the fresh red snapper and it was tasty and perfectly cook. There is a small lineup, but it’s well worth the wait. The prices are also very reasonable!

Got lured from across the street by amazing smell of seafood and it was worth it - place is bussy, service is fast, atmosphere is very local and the food is outstanding! Stuff is very friendly and the sitting place we got near the kitchen where all the action is happening just enhanced the experience. Amazing ✨

This place was a bit disappointing since the reviews looked great but the food was very mid. The starters were quite basic, and before we knew it our main dishes were served. We barely got time and could not even ask for them to wait. Our tiny table was full. Both of our main dishes tasted bland, the swordfish was tough and the sides tasted old and quickly thrown on a plate. My pasta was just okay.

An amazing experience. We were craving some seafood for dinner and they definitely delivered it. Nothing to say except from WOW! Waitresses also very nice and polite, also found one of them that spoke Italian to me, to let me understand better the fish available that evening. We also received a complimentary strawberry sorbet. Prices are more than fair for the portion and quality

This place is a staple, rightly so! We went twice during our stay in Chania. Service was slow, hence the stars, but it’s understandable given the flow of guests. Nevertheless, everyone was super kind. On the other hand, the food was a 5/5! Super fresh food - highly recommend the fresh fried squid and the grilled sardines.

Excellent restaurant!! Highly recommended. A MUST try whenever you’re in Chania. Sam and the rest of the staff were incredibly welcoming! Food was some of the best I’ve had in Crete so far and the pricing was very reasonable compared to other locations.
