"Our first meal out with friends in Crete. Set in the back streets of the historical center of Rethymno this restaurant has a Touch of Class! Lovely relaxed atmosphere at the table, beautiful selection of food cooked and served to perfection and we chose the local red wine. The wine was a light red and well worth trying. We were all very impressed and agreed it was a pleasure to spend our money there."

"WOW!!! we just arrived in Crete and I did a quick Google search for dinner as we were hungry travelers ready to eat and have a glass of wine! I found this restaurant, looked at the menu and said to my husband, let’s give it a try. It was amazing!!!! The food was absolutely positively delicious and beautifully presented and the service equally as impressive!
We could not have picked a better choice and are thrilled with our first meal in this beautiful island of Crete! Thank you for making our first evening so incredibly special and a shout out to George for making our evening even better!!!!"
