I was feeling a tad ill for the first day or so of our holiday. My appertite came straight back when we went here... utterly delicious. The pasta is all fresh and light, but my recommendation is any of the steaks. We had to go back the next night for more... superb cooking.

There are better places out there. Nice view, but nothing special. The fish is fresh, but again, overpriced.

The view over the Caldera was beautiful. However, the food was expensive and quite common (6 € for a drink of orange juice when 50% of the volume was actually ice, 24 € for a common pork plate). The service was also disappointing.

Sphinx Restaurant at Fira Town is more than a nice restaurant. That state of art gourmet restaurant combines the most romantic setting and the amazing view to the volcano with the most delicious greek traditional dishes. If you add the exceptional service then you have the ideal romantic restaurant. Do not miss it!!!

My wife and I were struggling with a mediocre wedding planner who was supposed to have "taken care of everything" at the restaurant. That didn't happen.

The food and the view and the service were outstanding by any standards. I particularly loved the lamb prepared in a traditional manner with an excellent presentatin. If money is no object, dine here.
