Hi Makis Just a quick note to say how much K and I enjoyed our meal last night. It was delicious. 

It could only have been improved by a gently lapping sea and a warm breeze as the sun set over the ocean.

Thank you. We both highly recommend your food and hope that the new enterprise is a success. We will be back.
