    This was our first visit to minoa and it’s safe to say this won’t be our last! Was warmly greeted by staff who were all really friendly and accommodating, I don’t even know where to start with the food!! All I can say is WOW every dish we had was insane from presentation portion size and most of all so so tasty I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed this. This was a real hidden gem and hope it stays for a very long time we have recommended this place to all our friends and will be back very soon to enjoy some more tasty food and cocktails thank you so much for a lovely evening ❤️
