Philinos Restaurant & Bistro offers a menu that is influenced from the Mediterranean, with fresh ingredients such as olive oil, calamari, lamb, pork and herbs. Their dishes can be described in two words: simple and savory. The chefs at Philinos rely on traditional Greek recipes for appetizers and customary dishes such as Moussaka, Dolmadakia, and Kotopoulo. Sample Menu: Spinach and feta cheese Pie, Marinated grilled octopus, Grilled chicken fillet, Grilled lamb chops, Home made Greek sausage and other tasty dishes.

Overall, reviews describe Philinos as a lively, bustling Greek spot with a warm, family-friendly vibe and authentic flavors. Dishes like pork and chicken souvlaki and the gyros are praised for quality meat and robust taste, while some sides feel dull and an upgrade to a Greek salad can come with an odd extra charge. The atmosphere can be loud, but service is frequently lauded for attentiveness and efficiency, with many noting staff who make guests feel welcome; a few visits, however, mention slower service at busy times and some dishes that seemed a bit pricey. Parking can be challenging in the area, but the consensus is that Philinos delivers satisfying meals and a welcoming experience, with many planning to return.
Le décor est simple. Les tables collées aux autres. Les chaises incontournables. On s'y est retrouvé par hasard. Cuisine grecque. Coûteuse! J'ai pris le moins cher, un souvlaki au porc. L'assiette est généreuse, les légumes & les patates sont délicieux mais ma brochette avait beaucoup de gras. C'est un restaurant "apportez votre vin". Je n'ai pas adoré. C'est bruyant donc c'est difficile de parler entre amis.
Nice to find out great local food, & BYOD too! The resto was packed & very noisy, hard to talk if big group. Service was good. We ordered a lamb dish & seafood platter to share & it was enough! A bit more expensive than I thought & no kids menu but food was good.
Super & merveilleuse soirée.. très bien accueilli 👍 le service très bien , la jeune qui nous a servis, c'était super ... une critique mais positive, serveur, serveuse présentez-vous, je m'appelle....... ces agréable de savoir vos noms 🫶 la nourriture wow. on avait nous un genre menu dégustation on a eu plein d'entrée pour 12 personnes c'était délicieux. !! On habite loin mais certain qu'on va y retourné 🥰
1re fois qu'on y allait & ce ne sera pas la dernière ! Pain avec huile & balsamique en arrivant. Leur salade césar est de loin une des meilleures que j'ai mangé ! Vinaigrette césar à l'ail maison, tzaziki maison, les patates avec un soupçon de citron... délicieuses 👌 Le service était rapide & courtois. Mon conjoint a demandé de tamiser les lumières & ce ne fût pas un problème, merci !!! Je leur donnerais plus que 5 étoiles ⭐️ Si vous avez envie d'un bon resto grec, je le recommande à tous ! (apportez votre vin)

Nous étions un groupe de 20 personnes avant les fêtes. Très déçue de la qualité de la nourriture. Plusieurs d'entre nous ne retournerons pas à cet endroit. La plupart des assiettes sont très dispendieuses & honnêtement peu ont aimé leurs assiettes. Le serveur était très antipathique. Nous avions demandé 2 tables carrés si c'était possible évidemment. On nous avait dit que oui c'était possible occasionnellement. Le resto était à moitié vide & toute une section était fermée. Alors, oui on aurait pu nous accomoder.

Group of 19 among many large groups. The server was overwhelmed & it reflected in the service we got. I ordered chicken souvlaki that was a little over cooked. Warm bread was served but had to ask for butter & then 10 minutes brought oil for the bread. Had to ask 3 times for water refill. No one walked around refilling water. Had a $12 very small piece of cheesecake with coffee. Asked for a coffee refill but never got it. Took the server about three tries to give the proper bills to me & the people near me. Do not know if they were short staff, but I really did not enjoy the night out. We were there at 630, a very busy time as all the tables were full but they were very fast & efficient in setting up the tables for the next party.
Great service by John. We had the'mezzedakia' plate. It's a meat platter with grilled classics like chicken breast, pork, loukaniko (greek sausage). & lamb chops. We added a salad & a saganaki appetizer. Very good. Efagaristo!
Great place, I definitely recommend. The meat platter did not disappoint, it was tasty & can easily feed 3 to 4. Service was good, we were a large group & they kept up with everyone's needs.
Celebrated my birthday, they had EXCELLENT service. Food was DELICIOUS & owner made sure all was smooth sailing. Thank you to all of the staff ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
