Niko is the best. I am sure that he serves everybody perfectly. But in my experience, what is different, unusual about him, is that he knows how to'read' the customer. What kind of a person the customer is, in what mood he is, & how to handle him, accordingly. Not taking advantage of him, no, not at all. Just, to serve him the way he will appreciate.
It is a skill.
I think that I also met, surreptitiously, with someone who seemed to be the owner of the place. If that is so, he was a very nice person.
As for the'little sister' of Niko (that's how he presented her to me, at the Cash), she is so good at such a crucial job, that she is destined to run this place at much higher administrative levels. Officially & in all regards, not just in special matters.
The food was fantastic. We savored numerous items on the menu, entrées & main dishes, & they were all very, very good. Fresh, authentic, well prepared & cooked. The real thing. (& I have been in restaurants in Athens & Crete… cf.my reviews about them, in this Google-reviews system…
)
This was Athens or Crete, in Montreal. As far as that is possible.
Then again, I have not been to Sparta yet...
The prices are quite decent, in these crazy time when it has become normal to order some pasta plate at 40$ !!
& you bring your own wine (minimum 100$ dollars saved, on your bill…)
The place is beautiful. Well situated, nicely designed, warm & cozy.
No parking problems. A nice terrace, if you prefer to have a drink &/or a drink &/or eat outside, under the porch (in late Spring, Summer or early Autumn... this is Canada !)
The best place in town to have a wonderful family gathering. (Or for any other occasion also, of course, I am sure. But my review is about the moments that I enjoyed in this excellent restaurant. & I always try to talk only about what I know, personally & directly, assuredly).
Niko will know who I am. & we shall meet again, for sure, shortly.

Some Tastes are so Iconic, They're Legendary...
I love the entire menu at "Souvlaki Vieux Grec" where the original, classic flavors of the Mediterranean are created daily from classic family recipes with fresh, authentic ingredients. Whether it's a savory brochette or skewer from the grill, a tender chicken or pork authentic gyro, a crisp refreshing salad, a palate-pleasing appetizer, desserts & more, "Souvlaki Vieux Grec" is a contemporary take on timeless cuisine.
