    Great lunch dining experience with great views over the bay. Was a busy day which reflects the high quality of the restaurant and they have a lunch fixed menu special that most of the diners were taking advantage of. We were well looked after by Ethan who did a fantastic job of organising the dietary issues for my wife. Highly recommended!

    Eleni's kitchen was great. The banquet was plenty of food even though maybe a little pricey. Service was good in the restaurant. Just a side note to read the requests for online booking as I requested a high chair and it wasn't supplied at first. It was rectified though which was great. Overall great restaurant - we will be back.

    We booked this for a joint birthday lunch for my dad and brother. Initially, our booking was outside but it was storming, extremely cold. The lovely staff offered the basement seating area, typically reserved for wine tours. So this was a pleasant surprise and we ALL had the best time. My siblings are into street photography so they even got to take pictures of the basement with the barrels including the dining set up for the tour with no around - just us!!!!!!! The staff were attentive, food was amazing and overall atmosphere was intimate for our family of 7. We will continue to come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
