Words cannot express the warmth & charm of this authentic traditional Greek restaurant. There are so many levels of appreciation I derived from this experience. First: The abundant & energetic staff is amazingly attentive; always nearby, but never hovering, waiting to serve your every need at a moment's notice, immediately acknowledging even a mere glance or gesture. Then, there is the food. A plethora of traditional Greek staples, each of which are executed with precision & detail unmatched outside of Greece. The fresh ingredients, preparation, taste, & presentation are exquisite. Then, there is the ambiance, reminiscent of an auberge, the spacious bar, & dining room areas are warm & inviting. To top it off, there is live traditional Greek music engaging the guests, all of which combine to complete a very rare & uniquely satisfying dining experience. Highly recommend! BTW Waiter Kosta, together with the rest of the staff, is exceptional indeed! Don't forget to make a reservation, especially on weekends.
Awesome place with great food & live music. The band was kind enough to play a request, Egnatias, & performed it wonderfully. Valet service is available & very helpful as parking can me a mission in this area.
The food was genuinely excellent, fresh, well-prepared, & served in generous portions.
The ambiance started off fine but took a nosedive when the live band arrived. The music sounded like budget karaoke & put half the room to sleep.
The host/server was awkward, impatient, & far from welcoming. Despite ordering a large amount of food, after about an hour he started hovering around the table, clearly trying to push us out. With 85% of the restaurant empty, the rush made no sense & left our group feeling uncomfortable.
I went out hoping to enjoy some good music & food, but unfortunately, both were a letdown. The singer sounded more like karaoke than a live performance, which really took away from the atmosphere. We ordered three appetizers & three drinks (2 beers & 1 arak/ouzo), & the total came to $156, tip included. The tip options started at 18%. At least the service was good, which was the one bright spot of the evening.
This was a few years ago pre covid (Yes I'm late). I've been here about 10 times & have always enjoyed the food & atmosphere. However, our last visit, for my brother's surprise 40th birthday, was disappointing. We opted for the preset menu at $58 per person. I made the reservation six weeks in advance & informed the staff that we'd be a group of 22 to 25 people. The person taking the reservation assured me this wouldn't be a problem & that they could handle it. When we arrived, it was clear they had overbooked that night. The tables were so tightly packed that we couldn't pull our chairs back properly to sit down without bumping into the people behind us, & vice versa. It was incredibly uncomfortable. On top of that, our waiter, who was about 6'4" & at least 400 lbs, couldn't navigate between the tables without knocking into us. The food was good, as usual, but the best (or worst) part came when it was time to pay. Most of us paid with debit, & the waiter handed us the machine with the tip already preset to 18%. While 18% is what I was planning to leave anyway, it's the principle of the matter. As a guest, I should have the freedom to choose whether to tip 15%, 18%, 20%, or another amount. After the meal, they put on a show with a live band that gets on a small stage to play Greek music, transforming the place into a nightclub. There's also a bar just outside the reception area. A few of us stepped outside for a breather, & when we came back, they had removed all the tables & chairs. To make matters worse, our jackets & other belongings had been tossed onto random tables & chairs, leaving us searching for them for quite a while.
We went for a friend's birthday - amazing service, atmosphere & food. Live music in the evening, the server was so very kind & thoughtful - the whole place has an elevated family/local feel to it - made me feel like I was back in Greece, with the live music & the Greek dancing by dinner-goers in the evening. Highly recommend. The slow-cooked chicken - absolutely delicious!
I hate writing this review, because the food was excellent & the serving staff seemed pleasant enough, but it would be remiss of me not to mention what constitutes a health hazard in my book. We were placed at a table right next to a speaker, & there was a band playing live Greek music. Initially, this wasn't a problem but as the evening went on, the music went progressively louder & louder until it was intolerable & I had to literally get out of my seat while I was waiting for my check. I mentioned this to the staff, & they smiled politely & were incredibly blasé about it. I came out with a headache, a muffling sound in my ears & an unpleasant taste in my mouth. My brother who has a slight case of tinnitus had a ringing in his ears for quite a while after. It seems problematic to me to place a table so close to a speaker just to make some extra bucks that could cause permanent hearing loss in clientele, & I hope that the owner rectifies it.

We were a group of 30 people & we all loved the place, the food & the atmosphere. Food is soooo tasty & good portions! The live music was beyond amazing & we all enjoyed the night.
One of the best Greek restaurants in Montreal. A very nice atmosphere & friendly staff. I love the options in seafoods that they offer & there's live music to entertain clients while they eat. A really nice experience.
