Great relaxing meal right beside the port, with friendly and prompt service. We shared one of the seafood specials for two including grilled sea bass, octopus, salad and squid - superb - washed down with a carafe if local rose. Our kids really enjoyed the spaghetti as well.

Perfect seafood restaurant! Less expensive than its rivals across the port. Everything was well cooked, octopus and calamari tender and fresh. Quick service with a smile. Definitely recommended 👍

Super friendly owner and really good food. The seabream was excellent!! The crab cakes delicious. Octopus not that exciting. I recommend if you are looking for a good and affordable restaurant by the port.

It has being a delicious experience. The Greek salads and vegetables, the grill squid and the sardins were at the point an with that grill and sauce that keeps it natural but tasty. Orzo with shrimps, simple delicious, very natural ingredients, you can taste the farm taste of tomatoes. We end with the Scorpion fish at the grill, fleshy, tasty; it comes with vegetable, juicy and delicious (spinach, carrots, potatoes and zucchini) At the end they gave us Greek yogurt very good and wine licor that reminds you of xmas. And as a gift Baklava. Love this place! Very recommended!

We had an awesome dinner here. A local recommended it for seafood and he was spot on. We had crab balls, shrimp in a tomato sauce and fried red mullet (I think that was the fish). All were so tasty.

This food is so good it will make you cry ( happy mastic tears). The sun seasoned octopus and mackerel caught my eye as we walked by; a flag of a unique gastronomic experience. Unsure if this was our destination, the waiter ushered us into the kitchen where he showed us the fresh catch of the day by maybe an hour. Brilliant red mullet, fresh snapper, rock fish and barracuda perfectly preserved in ice was an overload from being giddy with excitement! We chose barracuda, but we’re tempted for the rockfish. In an attempt to have Naxoan food, it was recommended to have the barracuda. Before I continue, I would like to advise you to not rush your food. Prepare your mind to wait in anticipation for what is next. Beautiful fresh baked bread will come out, but taste it lightly as the best as yet to come! A complimentary tasting of smoked oysters on a terama mousse (a full crème with a light freshness) garnished with local olive oil and kitron was an elevating start to this gastronomic monastery. Enter the barracuda, embellished on the left with soft boiled potatoes with a fresh olive oil and parsley drizzle and on the right a locally harvested salad with grape tomatoes and a dijon-style vinaigrette. This steak-of-the-sea was grilled with a crispy skin and was light in flavor, no overwhelming sea taste. Minimal bones to interrupt your feast! Sips of Ouzo done properly will complement your dish, just as the waiter if you are unsure. Here, the bread is a perfect sponge to absorb all the juices on the bottom of the dish. A semolina cake with Naxoan marmalade dusted lightly with coconut flakes will end your taste adventure. Be sure to look around at other meals being served to see the quality, presentation and pride going into each dish. This is food from heaven! Tell them Chris and Daniela sent you!

We came during off season but they were still open. Right by the port. The calamari and risotto was one of the best versions I've ever had. Highly recommended.

Charming place! Some of the best food we had in Greece - fried Sea Bream was excellent, we enjoyed the grilled vegetable salad and the potato salad with marinated anchovies, as well as fried potatoes. Naxian potatoes are excellent! We didn’t care for the small fried shrimp as much, something of a cultural difference. It was head on (okay) but also not shelled. You could eat them whole shell and all - tasty, but despite the fact we are seafood lovers it wasn’t our favorite. Highly recommend!

The restaurant was amazing. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. They gave us some excellent recommendations since we weren’t too sure what to order. The location is also really nice with comfortable seating. The menu is also very large, with even Vegan options! If you’re visiting Naxos, this is an excellent choice!

Dining here for a before-sunset dinner was the perfect experience! The entire staff was friendly, the seating and setting is so charming, and the food was delicious! You can't miss this place-look for the giant clam filled with the freshest seafood! The little dessert we were gifted is one of the most delicious foods enjoyed here so far. Highly recommend this place! Mostly all seafood offerings, with a beef and chicken option and also vegan options.
