Ordering Strategy

Skip the smaller dips and underwhelming small plates; pool your budget for the spectacular larger sharing mains like the lobster giouvetsi or table-side sea bass.

What to order

Safe first

Marinated Sardines

Acclaimed as the 'dish of the meal' by critics, these are perfectly balanced with olive oil, aged vinegar, and lemon, featuring a subtle heat from red chili.

Hungry

Whole Lobster Giouvetsi

A 'standout' sharing dish that offers a luxury reimagining of a fisherman's stew, combining tender orzo in a rich tomato and mussel broth with generous hunks of lobster.

Wildcard

Kefalonian Organic Sea Bass

The menu's 'main event' features a theatrical tableside presentation where the fish is carved from a golden pastry crust.

Wildcard

Portokalopita

Widely regarded as a 'triumph,' this traditional orange cake is soaked in syrup that isn't too sweet and served with kaimaki ice cream.

What to skip

Skip
HummusReviewers recommend skipping the dips in general, specifically citing this dish for its 'gloopy consistency' and for feeling out of place on the Greek-focused menu.
Skip
Pistachio cakeRated poorly by critics for 'barely tasting of pistachio,' with some diners even returning the dish after a single bite.

Good to know

Prepare for a hefty fine-dining price tag with notoriously high wine markups (and a £60 corkage fee). There are no vegetarian main courses available, though vegetarian sides and small plates exist.
