The practical advantage: you're booking an active restaurant that knows how to execute events while maintaining its everyday operations.
Really enjoyed the meal, everything was super tasty. It was a Greek-style tapas restaurant where we picked around 5 dishes to share between two people. The atmosphere and setup of the restaurant were also beautiful. I would definitely recommend trying the croquettes with feta cheese inside and the kebab.
