   BAD EXPERIENCE. We made reservations for 2 at 5:45 pm for dinner. We called to let them know that we would be 10-15 minutes late and they said it was no problem. The place was 3/4 full and we were able to order our drinks fairly quickly. We then waited another 15 minutes for the server to take our order and another 15 minutes to get our first dish - dips and salad. The other dishes came within 10-15 of each other so we may have had all our dishes around 7:00 pm. At exactly 7:45 pm, which was 45 minutes after the last dish arrived, a person (not our server) came to our table to ask us to leave as the next reservation had arrived and they needed our table! We were in the middle of eating our dinner and there was still food left in the platters! I was not happy and mentioned that the table across us (4 people) had been there at least 30 minutes before us as their food had just arrived when we got there and they had finished quite some time ago and were just chatting and if she had asked that table to leave and she replied, yes. She also mentioned that on open table it mentions that there is a 2 hr dining limit. I have never seen this. I understand that when restaurants are busy, 2 to 2.5 hrs is acceptable. We were there for only 1.45 hrs and it took 30 minutes for them to take our order and have the first dish served. We ended up paying the bill and taking our business elsewhere for dessert. I had also asked the other table if they had been asked to leave and they said no! So basically the hostess lied to us! When we exited, we noticed that there was a couple waiting to be seated so I asked what time their reservation was for and they said 8:15 pm. Apparently, they arrived 15 minutes earlier which explains why they wanted to kick us out earlier. The food is decent but the portions are small for what you are paying. I wont go to this place again and would not recommend it if you want a relaxing and nice evening.

   This is my go to Greek restaurant in Vancouver. The only 2 things I would improve on is adding more people during peak hours (in November I had a server who bordered on being rude) and better wine choices. Despite my service experience, I dined there again this month and the service experience was better.

   Food was great restaurant seemed understaffed with some very large tables. Which probably made the kitchen slow. The calamari had a weird sauce with it which was a bit unexpected. Seemed like mayo with an addition of lemon. Maybe just stick to tsatziki. I would make that request next time Otherwise was all good and what’s to be expected of a higher end Greek restaurant

   This is one of the best Greek restaurants in town. A bit pricy, but it has comfortable booth seating and authentic food at a much higher level than the usual overdone kebabs & rice platters. The grilled octopus was tender; lamb shoulder had a delicious sauce. We were expecting greens on the side, but we now know that you have to order them separately. They were unfortunately out of retsina (wahh!), so we tried two other wines, which were drinkable but weren't particularly great. The music started out (and occasionally returned to) a very un-Greek soft rock more befitting to a Robson Street chain store, but as the evening wore on, it became more sophisticated soundtrack, and mercifully at a low enough volume to allow easy table conversation. All in all, not perfect but well above average and worth your night out.

   A great restaurant, awesome food and excellent service. Was not a fan of being asked to leave our table for another booking right after we paid.

   Service was slow, waitress seemed unsure when asked about items on the menu. The food was lukewarm when it arrived at the table. Don’t really understand the rationale for the ratings on this restaurant, it was mediocre at best.

   This was our fourth visit, our first making a reservation and sitting at a table. Although friendly, the service was poor. We felt forgotten even though we were sitting right by the server station either it was checkins or dishes piling up. Our food took a long time to come out and the restaurant was half full. Our previous trips we sat at the bar, we were served by the bartender and we loved it each time. I’m not sure what changed but it was a palpable difference. It was not at the level we had experienced prior. We will not be returning.

   Everything was good. Took a while to get served. Food was out quickly after ordered. They ran out of Prosecco for some cocktails they had on the menu. Didn’t have too many options for wines. Only one for white and two for reds even though the menu showed a larger selection. Atmosphere was great!

    Friendly service, chill vibes, nice ambiance (although it was pretty loud so hard to have a conversation). Food was a bit on the expensive side but really really good!
