I always make this a regular stop for the last seven years. Food and service are top notch and there is a good view of the downtown.

While on our annual Bahamian vacation last month we decided to try this well known, long- established restaurant after a busy morning of shopping on Bay Street in Nassau. We are generally reluctant to eat in many of the downtown restaurants becasue of the noise and crowds, (and the sometimes questionable fare) but it was close and highly recommended to... More

My husband and I are spoilt for we live in Melbourne, Australia that has the largest greek population outside of Greece! Further our local Greek Restaurant (Agapi, Richmond) serves the most amazing food alongside exceptional services (thanks Tim). This upstairs Restaurant in Main Street, Nassau is no exception and can stand alongside Agapi with pride. Fantastic service, amazing tasty and... More

This was the best part of Bahamas. The food and service was great. There were many different options. The portions were generous. The taste was authentic. There was an older gentlemen that was very friendly, happy, and gave the place an authentic feel. I went once with my wife and again with four other friends. The place overlooked the main... More

We stopped by for a quick bite to eat. We had the Trio Dip and it was delicious! Was hoping the portion would be bigger but for us at that time (mid morning) it was just right!

For some excellent food and fine service. While visiting in Nassau this week, my wife and I enjoyed the first lunch we had there, that we had to return the next day just to sample more of the menu. If weather permits, you have to eat outside. While the seating is tight, you won't find a nicer place. The owner's... More

We visited this establishment at Christmas of 2012. It is a typical Greek cafe but staffed by the owners son and daughter in law in addition to others. Portions are generous and flavorful. Best seats are outside but seating is tight. They even offer Mythos beer which frankly suprised me. Service was excellent and we actually were there on Christmas... More

I love this little place in Nassau. It is upstairs and has an outside patio where you can look below to watch the people, horse carriages, etc. It's just down from the straw market. This was my second or third time going when I've stopped in Nassau for a cruise. Great food and drinks!
