The three-floor indoor-outdoor restaurant features an alfresco dining area on the historic plaza on 6th Avenue, main dining room, central bar, cellar-level dining room, mezzanine overlooking the main dining room, an open kitchen and a market-style seafood display.

O oceanic you sing and sail
White on your body and yellow on your chimeneas
For you're tired of the filthy waters of the harbors
You who loved the distant Sporades
You who lifted the tallest flags
You who sail clear through the most dangerous caves
Hail to you who let yourself be charmed by the sirens
Hail to you for never having been afraid of the Symplegades
(Andreas Empeirikos)
