"We ate the ribeye steak with french fries and mashed potatoes and everything just melted in our mouths! Then we had the ”waves” dessert and it was like heaven on a plate!! Wines were also good and the service was 10/10 :) Lovely view to the sea and live music was a cherry on top! Very good experience and we will be coming back soon <3"

"Waves restaurant is on the beach overlooking the med. We had moussaka and it was gorgeous. Did take some time from order to delivery but we'll worth it."

"We stayed at the Marika hotel and went to waves for our first night in Platanias as it was located in the hotel. The view and scenery of the restaurant are gorgeous!
When we arrived we ordered a bread basket, and for starter we ordered a mushroom tart. It took about 25-30 minutes until the bread basket arrived with the mushroom tart. We would expect the basket to arrive pretty soon after ordering it. The bread also seemed like something you could get frozen from a grocery store and the presentation was not that appealing. The tart seemed to be straight from the oven as it was pretty hot, but it was way too much crust compared to filling. However the taste of the filling was good.
We were still chewing the last bit of our starter/bread when they came with our main course and asked if we were done. We expected to get some time in between to let the food settle. For the main course we ordered a Greek salad and moussakas. The portions were big and the vegetables seemed fresh. The moussaka tasted good, but it was very greasy and the potato/other filling ratio was leaning towards more potatoes.
It is a beautiful restaurant, but don’t know if we would go there if it wasn’t for us staying at the hotel. The pricing is also fair, but some starters were a bit expensive. We also wish there were more Cretan/Greek items for starters on the menu."
