| - I'm very surprised by the reviews here, as I had a really great experience at this restaurant.
Firstly, the place is well decorated with good light and huge windows. The noise level isn't bad, we were able to all hear each other perfectly fine.
We had to wait a while for some of our party to show up, but they were very attentive and accommodating. They brought us drinks and some bread to start. I had a Chardonnay from their collection of Greek wines which was very good and very reasonably priced. We had a great waiter who was very patient and had a great sense of humour.
We ate a LOT haha. I had the soup, which was very thick and flavourful which is a nice change from your average run-of-the-mill runny and relatively tasteless avgolemono soup. It had the perfect amount of lemon in it. We also had the saganaki, which was excellent, the dolmades (which I didn't eat, but everyone else said they were good), and the three-dip platter which was also very good. The calamari was very tender and well-seasoned, I enjoyed it very much. The complimentary tapenade was also tasty.
After so many appetizers, it was difficult to find room for our mains. I had the Greek salad with shrimp, which is pretty hard to mess up. The shrimp was tender and well-seasoned and the salad was very fresh and flavourful, with a good balance of vegetables. A lot of Greek restaurants basically hand you a plate of lettuce, but this was not the case with Omonia.
The soup was definitely my favourite part of the meal along with the appetizers. We had a great time and left stuffed full of Greek goodness! OPA I would definitely come here again! :)
