Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This restaurant has a wonderful view, staff were friendly and welcoming, no request was too much trouble. The food was excellent and well priced, especially local dishes. Payment by card was no issue and booking ahead is recommended to get the tables with the very...best views, but walk-ins weren’t a problem. Highly recommended.More

Great lunch with beautiful views. I recommend trying the moussaka it was delicious and homemade. The service was good and prices very reasonable. Quite a lot of steps but the views is worth it.

Amazing food and service! The BEST saganaki on the island. The kalamaris, the meat, the salads, everything is amazing. Definitely go here for a meal (we went 3 times in a week). Super nice people as well :)

I went to this restaurant twice in the same day for lunch and dinner, at lunch I had good appetizers and swordfish squid, super ok, fresh squid on the grill, frozen swordfish, but that's what I knew... the problem appeared in the evening and that's...why I'm writing a comment also appetizers, moussaka wine and seafood pasta. It all started with pasta, all of us who travel know what fresh or reheated pasta means, kept warm or in the microwave, I told the waiter that the pasta was very dry and that he would make me another one!!! At that moment I said that I don't need it others for the simple reason that if I had fresh pasta, they would serve it to me at the right time....here the boss intervened and told me that he offended me and that it doesn't matter if I eat it or not, that we will pay for it anyway at least don't say you don't like it, we'll bring you something else, nothing. Anyway, when I paid cash at lunch, he was very upset in the evening that I asked with a card. Enjoy to everyone and I hope you don't have the same troubles as us!!!More

Wouldn't recommend this restaurant at all. Got seated and as soon as the owner arrived and brought the menus, he commented to the waitress "γύφτοι είναι", "they're gypsies". Nothing wrong with being a gypsy, but since I am half Greek, I know that it is...meant as a derogatory term. So we went to the "Belvedere" next to it and didn't regret the choice. Not at all tolerant when it comes to racism. Food you can get anywhere, decency apparently is a rare commodity nowadays.More

Was here with my husband for dinner and I must say the food was exceptionally good. I had the fish of the day (sea bream) and he had the swordfish with garlic, both were more than satisfactory! Portions were very generous too! I'm not the...kind of person to leave reviews usually but i just thought it was worth telling everyone about it.More

We stopped here for lunch today and had a table overlooking the water. We had a couple of cold beers each and then a greek salad and souvlakis. It was delicious. The ladies in the kitchen were the chefs and we liked it so much...we are going back tomorrow. The restaurant has steps down to the sea, a couple of sun beds and a shower. We are welcome to use them. We paid €42 for 4 large beers a glass of wine , greek salad with bread and two main course souvlakis. Excellent value and stunning views.More

I never tought i would give a bad review to a restaurant in Greece, where they should serve great fish and seafood. First we waited 40 minutes for the food and we ardered some starters like garlic bread and aubergine salad. So for this we...waited 40 minutes. Then the main came, we ordered fried anchovies and fried small calamari with greek salad. The fish was a little bit bigger than the usual anchovies we eat all the time and it was really really bitter you could not eat it because guess what?!...the fish was not eviscarated and it had all their insides fried together. This was something not eatable.More

Best seafood in Paleo! Stunning view, clean minimalist decor and excellent home cooking. The shrimp saganaki and grilled octopus were divine. Christos and the waiting staff were attentive but not intrusive. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic food. Came back here a few times during our stay in paleokastritsa and the food and service was always fantastic. We had a mixture of the seafood and traditional Greek dishes and I couldn’t fault any one of them. Thank you

I chose the chicken curry which was basically inedible , chewy chicken. My husband can’t even...remember what he ate apart from it came with a load of chips !
