Amazing Greek food. From the salad to the lamb everything was incredibly flavourful & absolutely delicious. On the pricier side but worth it & they give really large portions.
We ordered the stuffed calamari, the crab cakes, & the lamb. The calamari was good but the crab cakes & lamb were amazing.
Great staff, Great food, Great service.
Cozy vibes overall & very accommodating.
Always a smile on everyone's face & a care for their customers' needs & experience.
The grilled calamari, the octopus & the bass are my favourites.

We used to love this place. The food & drink are usually good. Unfortunately, ever since the restaurant is run at lunchtime by a new staff, the service we get is bad. We are consitantly ignored, are made to wait up to 20 min before being able to order & even longer to be served, often after the people who come after us. The staff in question seems to discriminate against us, as we don't fit his idea of Westmounter (a mix of racism, cast-based disdain & male chauvinism). Too bad, we'll spend our money elsewhere.
Restaurant grec assez dispendieux. Certains plats peuvent en valoir la peine alors que d'autres ne sont vraiment pas assez spéciaux pour être mémorables. En entrée, la pieuvre grillée en morceaux assez larges, bon assaisonnement, mais pas donné (42$). La soupe grec aux poissons (16$), quelques morceaux dans une texture potage dilué, je déconseille, beaucoup trop cher. L'agneau est excellent (52$). Les accompagnements sont des légumes pochés (brocoli, tranches de carotte, un légume en feuille) & patates grecs qui s'avèrent être de gros morceaux texture bouilli avec un goût un peu acidulé & fines herbes (ou choix de frites). Le doré ($39, prix variable selon le poids) vient avec les mêmes accompagnements. Avec deux quartiers de citron, câpres & huiles d'olive, faut vraiment aimer la cuisine aux goûts simples... Ce n'est peut être pas mon genre préféré. Nous avons eu des fruits, c'est chouette, mais ils n'étaient pas très bons, surtout le melon miel qui ne goûtait presque rien & pas moindrement sucré (hors saison, on va dire), heureusement ce n'était pas un plat facturé. En bref, ce n'est pas mon genre préféré, mais la moitié était correct & l'autre moitié très bon.
