We were given solid suggestions on where to go to eat and where to buy olive oil and cheese. The wi-fi connection was spotty, but the front desk was good about resetting the modem even when we had to ask daily. This seemed to solve the problem. Breakfast was wonderful with a terrific selection. We really felt cared for and important here.

Respectfully disagree with the previous review. I'd call this place an overpriced tourist trap. 1-…read moreThe bread basket they brought was a mix of stale bread; some slices were moldy already. 2- Octopus was rubbery. 3- Mezes are on the saltier end. 4- Fish (sea bream) was dry. I'm also not sure if it was fresh, given the bread fiasco. 5- they still charged the full bill with no meaningful apology/gesture. Yes, the staff is/seemed friendly but that doesn't make up for moldy bread. Verdict? Go to Greek islands for value for money seafood.

You get to see stunning views while you are enjoying food and drinks. They serve wide variety of Mezes, we tried fried calamari, spiced butter sautéed shrimp, Branzino mustard spread, shepherds salad, stuffed mussels and steamed Branzino with herbs and vegetables as main course. It is a must try experience and you will get hooked to it. Menu is priced reasonably. Owners are always on site, very friendly and accommodating staff.

And while the food was indeed good, I was not nearly as impressed as I was with its next door neighbor, Cunda Sahil Restaurant. Firstly, Nihat is much pricier than any of the restaurants nearby. Secondly, the selection of foods (especially mezes) is not nearly that of other places. Normally, this wouldn't bother me as I prefer quality to quantity. However, the ones that Nihat had on tap weren't nearly as exciting or interesting or as tasty as others. We went for a late lunch/early dinner to avoid the rowdy dinner crowd, and we still had pretty lousy service (though not as bad as that of other reviewers). We ordered a variety of seafood and vegetable appetizers because summer is not really "fish season". The seafood mezes (especially what I believe were the squid eggs based in an olive oil/saffron broth) were the best of the bunch. I'm glad we went just so we could experience it. But, honestly, the experience once was enough.

Best octopus I have ever had. Different mezzes. Friendly staff. A little pricey. (I am Turkish) 4.5read more
