Le vieux duluth devait faire un grand effort pour revenir sur le plancher des restaurants les plus intéressants au Québec, le plus le temps passe le plus malheureusement on laisse faire. J'ai visité plusieurs restaurants pour maintenir mon attachement à cette cuisine qui était vraiment authentique, & qui ne l'ai plus à mon avis. Poulet pas toujours cuit à la bonne température, salade sans goût, service lent & prix à la hausse. Ce n'est pas les franchisés le problème mais le franchiseur qui n'apporte pas de nouveaux. Svp faire de quoi, c'était une très belle place & belle ambiance, jadis.
Great food. It's a bring your own alcohol though & I didn't know before I went. I think such places shd hav some kind of indication. Nothing wrong with it but it's good to know beforehand

Food was just fine (only if you're very hungry). Calamari is just okay, nothing special, overcooked pork souvlaki, overcooked rice cooked with to much water, soggy salad which I think was sitting on its dressing for too long, bland potatoes, chicken strips for kids meal was dry. Regarding service, the place was half full, mean busy, there's only 1 waiter, 1 receptionist which help with the food & 1 who always fill-up water (He's nice though an always keeps refilling cold water). So this means that they're always on a rush. People kept coming in, Waiter never asks us for a drink if we need one, the kids meal on the menu says it includes a drink & an ice cream, waiter never give us anyhing or even asks us that it comes with it. So meaning, the price that we paid ($139 + tip) I think, in my opiniin, is not worth it. Food is not bad but not good either, we will never come back. Luckily we are very hungry that we ate everything, we paid for it anyway, we don't want to waste food. Casa Greque nearby was 10 times better but sadly it's already closed. Butterflied shrimps & bread & butter was good though.
Cold, tasteless, dirty, mediocre at best. This restaurant has been around forever, just like it's demographic. To begin, service was fine, atmosphere was fine, where my distaste began was with the dirty wine glasses. We had multiple wine glasses that were foggy & dirty inside. I ordered the beef 12oz burger "steak", asked for it to be medium rare & it was certainly more on the rare side. Speaking of rare, it's not often I find myself eating cold food, but the meat was cold. Also ordered the fried fish which was still a bit frozen & wet in the middle. Potatoes were potatoes, rice is rice, salad was fine. Butter was frozen, bread was cold, the only thing that we ordered that was worth it was the entrees. For the price, each meal was 19$ or more. Overall you can definitely find yourself better Greek food one boulevard over at Marathons Souvlaki, or down the street at ur local Kojax. Would not recommend this place to anyone who is genuinely looking for a quality meal for the price.
