We really never had a bad or mediocre meal the entire time we stayed in Oia, and like the other spots we tried, Nectar and Ambrosia did not disappoint. For starters, the decor is sublime. In addition to the view over the caldera, the beautifully-designed table linens, soft jazz planing in the background, and hanging candle lamps add to the... More

very nice restaurant, opened for season at the beginning of May. Nice menu, we both had the fava dip and moussaka which was light and tasty. Then they gave us a free dessert, dark chocolate discs, piled with white chocolate mousse and strawberries and a little fresh mint. I'm not even a dessert person but we demolished it!! Lovely staff,... More

This restaurant was a short walk away from our hotel and right off the main pedestrian walkway so very easy to find. Coming back from the end of the pathway where we had just caught the sunset we decided to stop at this place. It was very busy but we were able to be seated right away even though we... More

The house wine which we tasted and rejected was at 26€ slightly more expensive than other good bottles we had purchased on previous nights. For 38€ we did find a good bottle of red. The signature appetizer of warm feta in phyllo pastry with a honey sauce was excellent, but my lamb was overcooked and my wife’s chicken breast ordinary.... More

Ate lunch at Nectar. Everything was really good but not great. Was a step down from Skala in terms of food and ambience, yet the prices were higher. Still a very good lunch. Good assistance with wine choice. More

This restaurant is on the main sidewalk in Oia. It's beautifully decorated and the lighting in the evening is very romantic but nothing can compare to the stunning view of Santorini and the surrounding sea. Our food was fine, nothing special but I still recommend the restaurant for the ambience and a romantic dinner. Lovely! More

I spent 10 days in Greece looking for an innovative food menu - and found exactly what I was looking for at Nectar and Ambrosia. Each dish was served and cooked to perfection. The lamb was the most tender I've ever tasted. More
