Pas de réservations, on gèle dehors ou dans le minuscule portique non chauffé, si on est dehors, la porte n'est pas vitrée, attention, vous risque de la recevoir dans le front...
TRÈS BRUYANT, les employé sont poussés aux max, les pauvres.
on a eu la première tables Apres de l'escalier qui mène au sous-sol... à ÉVITER, on se fait pousser par les clignent impatients qui attendent une place & si il fait froid dehors, on est en plein courant d'Air.
La bouffe est correcte mais il n'y a pas de crevettes BUTTERFLY ni de sauce d'accompagnement pour les CALMARS.
Les portions sont généreuses, mais le riz ne goûte pas grand chose.
Il y avait une longue file d'attente, c'est le moment le plus désagréable. Mais pour le reste c'est excellent comme toujours, j'y avait emmené un ami qui n'était jamais allé & bien aimé. Bon service & rapide.
I heard a lot of good things about this restaurant so me & my wife went for a dinner on a busy Saturday night.
we heard that they have the best fresh calamari.so,first of all ,this is a frozen calamari,from China,it tasted like gum with too much salt,if I want to eat salt I can do it in my own house.
now,the best lamb chops,really?
my lamb chops were so dry & burned,I guess when its gets busy,they can't take the pressure in the kitchen.
enough said,the lesson here is clear,don't believe to what you hear,go try it for yourself.
I'm here in my kitchen eating leftovers because I just left this restaurant completely disappointed . It's not that the food was bad,it was o.k. but the service was terrible .My wife & I are disappointed with how far this place has fallen.Three waiters on the floor , all unshaven & dishevelled, & they were more interested in speaking loudly to each other than paying attention to their customers. After waiting to be seated, at our own discretion , we were finally seen by a waiter whose collar was left up [maybe he thinks he's Danny Zucco in the movie Grease] .He took our order & never asked if we wanted any thing to drink. He was too busy looking around the restaurant & not focusing at the table at hand . He came by again, dropped off 2 glasses of water & left in a flash,came back after a few minutes, I asked him for 2 appetizers & our main dishes & he replied that what I wanted had ran out & to choose something else,I didn't want anything else , so i was going to eat the appetizers only & that was fine with me.He brought one appetizer at a time ,we had asked for more bread with the first appetizer which he only brought after we finished the second one. Pointless. He also came back to our table & grabbed one of our plates & left with it. There was still food on our plate, we were not done eating just yet. Every time he came to our table, it was like a hit & run, never taking a few seconds to ask if everything was alright. I had to flag down another waiter to bring me some more water & Another waiter brought my wife's main course & placed it in front of me, I tried to tell him that it wasn't mine but he was gone so quickly. At this point I had enough, i asked our original waiter for our bill & my wife wanted to take the food home,he came back with our bill & a container for my wife to place her food in the container by herself. There really was no excuse for such terrible service, it was 8 o'clock in the evening & the restaurant was not busy, especially for 3 waiters on the floor in such a small place I have owned & operated 4 restaurants & currently a head chef at a popular italian restaurant in Dorval so I know this business.I will never go back to a restaurant with such inept & juvenile service. Left the restaurant with a bad taste in my mouth
The best Calamaris in town.
One of the best Greek restaurant, the food in very good, the service is fast.
Must look before ordering Lamb Chops. Sometimes they are nice & big, sometimes very small & not worth to order.
The steak is very good, nice, big & juicy. the only thing I do not like about this plate is the mushrooms. Mushrooms are ''sautés'', not fried & that is the way they cook the mushroom, deep fried. You just don't do that.
But I still recommend this place.
I absolutely love the Calimare at this place generous portions prompt polite service overall a very nice restaurant minus the decor which has not been updated it`s really great!!
the food was excellent. way too crowded, we had to wait in line out side for more than 20 minutes. may be because it was a weekend. other than that & parking, a must to eat place if u like sea food.
Déçu par l'accueil. Je pensais qu'un lundi serait une bonne journée pour retourner à ce resto que j'ai découvert dans les années 80.
La nourriture est semblable à plusieurs autres restaurants de ce type.
Le serveur était débordé & oublia des items que nous avions commandés.
Expérience décevante & heureux de ne pas avoir fait la queue pour cela.
Ce petit resto grec a été une superbe découverte pour moi. J'y suis allé 2 fois & j'ai adoré, je ne crois pas être le seul car la petite place est toujours remplie même à 3h de l'apres-midi ! Pour un prix plus que raisonnable, Marven's offre des énormes assiettes & des plats de qualité. Les gyros sont délicieux ! j'ai bien hâte d'y retourne
