We were a party of 2, early on a Wednesday evening. We were greeted in an odd manner. The server/host had a weird reaction where he fussed about how we did not have reservations, walked frantically all around the restaurant, yet the restaurant was completely empty, and practically empty the entire time we were there. He checked with another guy They sat us in far back as possible and hid us from everyone. The service was awful except for this one new employee. We kept having to wait long intervals to be served. The cod dip was delicious, bread and red pepper dip was good. Our entrées were very salty, we got both the marinated chicken and Cornish hen. Chicken was cooked to perfection, veggie portions were pathetic, a single piece of broccoli , a small slice of pepper and 1/4 of a shaved carrot. The chicken was salty and bitter. Did not taste marinated for me. We didn’t even bother getting dessert at this point, it took 20 minutes to get our bill and pay for our food. We felt ignored the entire time. They also were not willing to split the bill between 2 people which is so odd in this day and age.

It was my first time visiting the restaurant. I did not like their outside seating option under the tent. They do not have high chairs for kids so my baby ate food sitting in her stroller. I think the food tasted ok but the prices were too high compared to food quality. I do not like to try it again as for the price and service quality and atmosphere I think there are way better options! If customers are being seated outside then they have high expectations due to the price they’re paying for, so the cold and lonely atmosphere and awkward feeling of being alone and so distant from your interior restaurant experience doesn’t encourage my family and I to return here again. Please invest some money in high chairs or tell us so we don’t come in with our children and feel awkward feeding my them in their strollers! She wasn’t comfortable at all!!! I think the lamb and lobster dish were just way too overpriced. Lobster dish was mainly noodles and tomatoes ...

Had a very nice dinner. The appetizers were very good. Excellent salad, pita and various dips along with some tasty saganaki cheese. The thin fried veggies - not as much of a hit. For the main course, I had the grilled fish of the day - Mediterranean sea bass - branzino I think - it was deboned (mostly) and cooked perfectly. Came with some delicious veggies and potatoes on the side. The wine selection was reasonably varied and moderately priced - there were 4 or 5 reds available by the glass. There were a few options for dessert and we tried two of them. The baklava was not a big hit with our group - served cool or cooled off by the ice cream - we tried another dessert - like a "knaffe" which was a bigger hit. Overall the service was excellent, the servings were generous, the food was tasty. I would be happy to go back.

New place on Yonge St. Very busy restaurant. We went for a Saturday night dinner and had the Greek Salt Baked Fish. They bake the fish in a thick layer of salt. We ordered the Sea Bass. When it comes to the table the waiter sets in on fire (I believe it’s to release the salt it’s baked in) Fish was deboned in front of us. The experience was amazing and the fish absolutely delicious! It was very, very tasty! I would also recommend the Pinot Grigio-Delle Venezie...went down well with the fish. Waiters are very busy in there but someone is always watching the tables to make sure you’re ok. Excellent service!

I was visiting Toronto and decided to have a dinner at this place as i like Mediterranean kitchen. Very “authentic” design - and i mean it in a good way. Place is busy so make reservations - i got lucky, but had i come 30 min later - likely would not get it. Prices are above average but worth every penny. I knew i would not be able to finish everything i ordered but i could not help it - both scallops and chicken breast were above the average. Sauces were with just the right touch of garlic. Service was courteous and not pushy. I had no room in my stomach for desert which i regret as it all looked delish
