    Our recent visit on Christmas Eve, to celebrate a special celebration, was nothing short of extraordinary. We extend our gratitude to every individual who contributed to the impeccable service that evening. From the thoughtful seating arrangement overlooking a vibrant display of fresh seafood, seasonal vegetables, and fruits to the attentive service that paired our meal with a delightful bottle of Petit Chablis Blanc, every detail was expertly curated. The evening culminated in a celebratory dessert of Greek yogurt, elegantly garnished with pomegranate seeds and mint—a perfect ending to a remarkable experience. Our meal began with house-made bread and olive oil, complemented by a refreshing tomato salad as an appetizer. For the main course, we enjoyed expertly grilled Balada fish accompanied by steamed broccoli and succulent lamb chops. The server’s meticulous walkthrough of the fresh seafood selection, artfully presented on ice, added an engaging touch, highlighting the restaurant’s dedication to authentic Greek cuisine. This establishment comes highly recommended, and we eagerly anticipate returning with friends in the near future. Notably, their thoughtfully crafted business lunch menu, designed to be served within an hour, is a perfect option for professionals working on Bay Street. A truly exceptional experience!

    Fabulous food. Sat at the bar and the bartender not only had stellar food recommendations but also wine suggestions. I enjoy California Chardonnay and am not familiar with Greek wines and he presented lovely options. The dips were wonderful with standout homemade pita. Delectable salad with heirloom tomatoes, feta, cucumber and onions. Patatas were great. Enjoyed the lamb chops with tzatziki but the standout was the tea brined chicken. GO!!!
