We decided to visit this beach based on a recommendation from our hotel, but it turned out to be a mistake. The menu didn't have any prices listed, despite my repeated requests for a menu with prices. The waiter instead verbally informed me of the prices. Furthermore, the food was excessively oily and the calamari had a bitter taste. After trying all six dishes we had ordered, we promptly paid our bill and left in search of another restaurant where we could enjoy a meal. I strongly advise against dining at this restaurant! I only gave it two stars because the waiter was helpful, although he never provided us with a menu that included prices.

While the beach establishment is satisfactory, it may not meet your expectations for a high-quality dining experience compared to other shoreline establishments. It operates on a self-service basis, which means you must keep an eye on your order number to avoid any confusion. The menu options are limited, but the establishment is at least clean and well-maintained.
