OPA! of Greece McPhillips — Restaurant in Winnipeg

I went in on a Monday afternoon, with two people ahead of me, and one employee working. As I stood in line, a woman ahead of me got her food and made a snide comment about how, ‘as a member of the Greek community, she was disappointed by the service’. I was incredibly confused by the remark- she could not have been more wrong!

Maria was excellent. She worked fast, and for one woman she was quick between the fryer and the grill- she changed her gloves in between each step, and washed her hands and changed her gloves after using the register, every time. I greatly appreciate the extra precautions she took, and how careful she was with her customer’s safety.

To top it all off, the food was delicious, you can tell she put care and thought into the food she was serving, she didn’t just throw it in the container and hand it off. She took the time to wrap it neatly and place it in a way that I won’t end up with tzaziki on the top of my box by the time I get home. Even with the mask on, she handed the box with a smile.

Maybe other people think that the extra time equals bad service, but I disagree. She took time because she cared about the food she was presenting, and it...

I wish the young man with glasses was more clear on what I could order during my visit. I initially ordered a chicken wrap with a side of calamari for a friend, and he (the employee) asked me if I wanted to make the chicken wrap a combo. I said yes assuming the calamari was included with the caesar salad and drink combo.

When I got home, my friend asked where the calamari was. I called the restaurant to find out. The young lady I spoke with clarified with me that you cannot order calamari as a side.

I ended up driving back to order what I came for, but I wasn’t happy that neither the young man or lady apologized for the misunderstanding and the inconvenience i had experienced.

I paid way more of my hard earned money than I planned to, yet there didn’t seem to be any level of remorse coming from the restaurant. Their energy and body language clearly appeared as they were just there to collect a cheque and ready to begin their weekend.

Horrible...

Cook the food! YOU ARE GOING TO GET SOMEONE SICK!!!!

Rice = Uncooked Lemon Potato’s? = Semi RAW & No Flavor! Chicken = The texture of Rubber & No Flavor!

TEACH THE STAFF HOW TO HANDLE FOOD!!! Do not put food that falls out of containers & on the ledge of the prep-table BACK INTO THE CONTAINERS!

WASH ALL UTENSILS AFTER USING THEM! - DO NOT PLACE SERVING SPATULAS BACK “INTO THE FOOD” AFTER USING THEM ON “SEVERAL DIFFERENT ITEMS!”

Its simple.. train the staff on SAFE food handling & prep OR ELSE you are going to KILL SOMEONE! then the City of Winnipeg & the law courts are going to take over! Get Your Shxxxit together!

**This is not a one off review.. these incidents have happened more than once eating at...
