My memories of this place are always favourable. When I worked at Canadian Stage, opening night was the thing. I would put in the show, get all my bookkeeping out of the way, and then head across the street with the rest of the company for a cocktail and some Greek appetizers. They've since moved to King Street inside the theatre district, but the flavour remains the same.
Targeting the theatre crowds and downtown lunches, Penelope offers finer Greek dining without the need to drive out to the Danforth. The décor is simple, and the staff give the place the feeling of a family-run business. The platters that were put before us never failed to impress and of the items that I've had recently (pork souvlaki), it still holds up. I'm sure there's way better places on the Danforth, but you'll never eat there and make it down the DVP in time for an 8:00pm curtain.
Enjoy this place for what it is. If it's decent enough for opening night, well, really...
