Welcome to Dish, a "plate" with lots of flavours, style and fun mood. A Party Restaurant that every night its heart beats in the rhythms of the city.

A great night with family, we chose the bar to drink a bottle of white wine with a variety of cheeses. The prices of drinks are not the cheepest. Great service, nice place to talk with friends and listen music.

Had an excellent family dinner at this gem (4 Adults and 5 Kids under 10). The seafood choices were plentiful and food was excellent. Our favorites were Grilled Calamari, Grilled Octopus, Grilled Mullets, and Grilled Sea Bass. Kids enjoyed a Rissotto with Shrimp and also had pork souvlakia. Staff was great and would definitely come back for more seafood. Î£Î±Ï ÎµÏ ÏαÏιÏÏÎ¿Ï Î¼Îµ για Ïα καλά ÏÎ±Ï Î»Ïγια! Î£Î±Ï ÏεÏιμÎÎ½Î¿Ï Î¼Îµ ξανά!

We are from New York City touring Greek islands. We(two families with five high school and college daughters) went there from the port by walking for 15-20 minutes. Excellent American/Greek breakfasts! Coffees are EXCELLENT! Great SERVICE by friendly young Greek friends! We had lots of hot and iced coffee. Pancakes and egg Benedict were all excellent! They also have very unique pancakes in large bowls!

We came here because 2 restaurants that we had thought we would go to were closed for the day and this was next to our hotel. We were surprised that the veggie calzone and a pasta were both excellent. The restaurant was clean, modern and very comfortable. The waiter was very nice and helpful.

After having some not so nice experience in Heraklion we tried Maxim, based on the reviews here. We were not disappointed. As appetizer we had mussels saganaki, a huge plate with mussels and vegetables covered with melted cheese. Main course was a traditional dish made of lamb, delicious as well. 2 persons shared 1 portion of each since we wanted to try more than one plate, and it was actually too much! Portions are big. Even if we were full, the server brought us fruits and raki on the house, very good option for desert.
