They have an enclosed outdoor seating area that affords views of the sea, an island and the Fortress. Unfortunately it's right beside the main road and is extremely noisy. The food was fabulous. The grilled vegetables were particularly delicious. The grilled sea bream was very...fresh and tasty and came with good vegetables. The salad was also good and was big enough for four. The bread was also very nice - it had bread sticks, great whole grain crusty bread, whole wheat hard toasted bread, seeded crackers and white bread (the only thing we didn't eat). It came with two nice dips and some good but very salty olives. They have half liter and full liter carafes of white wine and retsina but not red wine. After the meal complementary tangerines, vanilla ice cream, chocolate cake, strawberry cheese cake and raki are served. A very generous free desert.More

The food was under cooked! Even though we requested the food to be cooked properly, this never happened! Definitely NOT suggested!!!!

Outstanding food probably the best in our two weeks in Greece! Seafood is their specialty but all their food is just great. The Sea Bass was world class. Bravo Chef! Friendly efficient service, great location right by the water. Highly recommended!

I was at Ippocampos for dinner, and I had grilled halloumi cheese and fried squids. At dinner end, they offered a dessert. Food was outstandingly good, service was very good, and prices were low. This was the very best dinner I had during my vacations...in Heraklion.More

The food, views and character were terrific! They understood what gluten free was (my husband is celiac) which is a huge relief whenever we travel! The Greek salad and salmon were delicious and I enjoyed the shrimp and orzo - big servings so you could...share any of them for lunch! The house white wine by the half litre (5 euros!!!!) was really good - we normally order by the bottle but the couple beside us suggested it and we weren’t disappointed! Great lunch by the sea!😊More

My wife and I ate lunch here at the suggestion of our taxi driver. We have been on a cruise for 8 days. We eat out a lot all over the place. The food here was fabulous. We were frankly shocked but our cabbie said...the locals eat here and he was correct. Right on the water as well. A don’t miss and not Al all expensive.More

As a general rule, we try not to eat at places that have photos of the food or menus in multiple languages. Well, this restaurant proves that there are exceptions to every rule. This place was highly recommended from other sources and it did not...disappoint. The food was delicious (get the fried squid) and service was outstanding. Wonderful first meal in Heraklion.More

I was recommended this restaurant and read the reviews which were all glowing. Let me say that the food was very good. However what let them down was the service. It was not what we had been used to in Greece and the Greek islands...of Sifnos and Milos. I would recommend it for the food, lovely fresh seafood but be prepared to wait for it.More

This is a lovely spot in Heraklion Crete. Very fresh fish, good quality staff and very reasonable prices. Special thanks to our wonderful waiter Gevork, who was amazing. Recommend this place for seafood lovers.

From all restaurants we visited in this area, we preferred this one over Kastella and Notio Archipelago. Initially the tuna fish was not medium cooked, but this was fixed immediately. Good service and impeccable food.

We came here following a sailing trip and ordered many different dishes to try. Everything we tasted was delicious. Our favorites were the fried cheese balls and the meatballs. We received complimentary desserts and raki. Wonderful food and service.

This restaurant serves really delicious sea food options at a reasonable price for the food you get. It's also located on the sea front with lovely views. I had the sea bass which was lovely and my friend had shrimp pasta, which she enjoyed but...which came in a massive portion (enough for 3-4 people). They also gave us free raki, fruit and dessert afterwards.More
