Good wines, both by the glass and by the bottle, Ouzos (of course) and other interesting spirits accompany a wide selection of tapas, some of which come as a full meal, too.
(Distinguishable only by the price, which might lead to some confusion as some tapas are a bit pricey and look like they might be a meal.)
In addition to a rich standard menu, there is an interesting list of the day's specials, too.
The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, the interior a bit noisy, on account of being kept in a Mediterranean mix of bare stone, wood and plaster.
I've been there twice now: once coming in late for a dessert and drink only, we found the place very lively at about 11pm. The desserts on offer then were certainly very imaginative, if not entirely convincing (I had an asparagus zabaione).
The second time I visited with a large group, which could barely be seated (I don't think the place could take groups of over 20 people), but the waiters worked hard and patiently to get everyone pleasantly seated.
This second time, I had three tapas, which were all very good, even though, oddly, the first one was served as a starter. The two for 'mains' were potato-chips with cheese (nice price option, if you just wanted a snack with your drink) and some rabbit, very pleasantly spiced with cinnamon and coriander. I had a traditional Greek yoghurt for dessert and a white wine from Crete, which was very pleasant drinking, plus a good Samos and a sweet herbal liqueur.
A place to come back to and try the many interesting things on the menu - it is also commendably non-smoking.
