Five of us went for my birthday last weekend. The meal was one of the best I ever had (grilled shrimp with Greek potatoes & rapini with a glass of red wine) & the service was excellent. Kudos! 👏

Entrees & fish dishes are amazing - also very nice selection of Greek wines. Love this place. Updatesummer 2024 - they have a Greek Rosé wine called La Vie en Rose which is worth a try. Also want to highlight the home made cheese cake, yes home made & most excellent.

Had a lovely time at BALOS. The stuffed calamari was just okay, but the spanakopita was the best I've had in Canada (I spend a fair amount of time in Greece). Would love to go back & try the lamb next time. Wine options were great, & the selection of European wines was impressive.

Everything was fantastic start to finish! We had the mussels & the gigantes. Both were perfectly delicious. The staff were friendly & made great wine recommendations.

Pretty place, nice atmosphere. Waitress was excellent & provided great wine recommendations. Food was pretty mediocre though. The fried calamari was very basic for that price. Served with the typical marinara sauce. Not super crispy or seasoned. The sea bass was alright but overpriced for what it was. Side vegetables (carrots, broccoli, & two others) were just boiled, no seasoning. Boiled potatoes were well seasoned at least. Complimentary walnut cake was dry, didn't really seem fresh at all.

Octopus was delicious, lamb chops as well, the side veggies were bland, the service was rough & very very slow, I also really didn't appreciate getting our group awkwardly getting appetizers at different moments (say 10-15 minutes apart), they also forgot one of our appetizers. All in all, I think the food is good, but service & lack of atmosphere (no music) makes it a less enjoyable experience. Oh it's also very pricey. Fried calamari is mid & the grilled calamari as well. It was our friends birthday & service was so bad that they never came to get our dessert order, all in all dinner took forever because of bad service. Also to be noted that one of the servers said X wine my friend wanted was "disgusting", but it's their wine list...

What they don't mention is that the kitchen is closed between 3 to 4 pm. It's getting ready for night shift . The salads are amazing , the main course is good but don't order the Salmon it's too greasy . Wines are good. I always feel good when the owner is involved & gives instructions to their staff while helping with the running of the place which was the case
