immensely proud of these exceptional achievements. As a small business we extend our
gratitude to our committed team for their tireless efforts. These awards are a culmination of years
of passion and dedication for the hospitality industry. We love being part of our guests’ special

decision was made after the lockdowns to create a restaurant that elevates Greek/Cypriot cuisine
to a fine dining level.

Every aspect of the diner’s experience is meticulously attended to, from the renovated and comfortable furnishings to the regional Greek leaning wine list.
