First I have to say that I spend months in Crete every year, for 10 years and I ate in hundreds of restaurants. I always avoided this restaurant cause it seemed very touristic and I already tried some restaurants on the same road, and everything seemed about the view, the food being average so I thought it would be the same here. I ate on the last day of the season, the restaurant was not full, so I think the comments I read, saying the service is very quick to free tables for new customers, are wrong. The service was very very quick and efficient, but obviously not to free my table, but for my satisfaction. From the moment I came in the parking, when a waiter waved me to show me a free parking space, I felt taken cared of like never in a restaurant of this size(and not in a small taverna in Crete. At the moment I took out my tobacco out from my pocket, a waiter disposed an ashtray on my table. More and more often in Crete, unfortunately, the service is, more than bad, unfriendly, very cold, which is the exact opposite of the Cretan culture and spirit. Here I found more than an efficient service, people working with their heart, doing the best they can for my satisfaction, obviously loving what they do, and very friendly. About the food, I can't say much, cause I ate only once there, but the salad I had, was exactly what I was waiting for: big, good, original creative salad. A small appetizer and desert and raki(grappa were on the house. In this area (Kissamos/Falassarna , the Cretan spirit is dying, killed by massive tourism, people are often cold, not friendly, prices are higher than in the rest of Crete, close to french or even swiss prices(! , cause tourists aren't invited guests anymore, but wallets with feet, so it was a real big bowl of Cretan oxygen to eat in this restaurant. I had a fantastic day and they made it another perfect day in Crete, and I warmly thank them for it. Μπράβο και να είστε καλά! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Good place to dine in Crete, good food and well priced. Special reference to a waiter with somewhat grayish hair, super professional, always attentive and very cordial. Price per person: €10–15

SPECTACULAR place to say the least, from all points of view. Food with top quality ingredients, traditional Cretan/Greek cuisine, generous portions, stunning location to say the least, with a view overlooking Falasarna beach, honest prices, and super friendly and fast service. If you pass by here, I definitely recommend stopping off in this little corner of peace, where you will be able to enjoy every bite, while observing the sea I recommend you go when it's not too crowded, so maybe at times that aren't too mainstream, so that you can enjoy the experience 100% : Vegetarian options: Lots of choice, even vegetarian dishes : Kid-friendliness: The place is certainly also suitable for families with children.
