  • What a gem this place is. And of course, we got there serendipitously. So, there I was, leaving the office after a long day of whatever it is I supposedly do, and I get a text "Why is there no good Greek food near us?" The wife and I were welcoming a house guest who's just moved to the area from Nova Scotia, and she wanted to go somewhere nice, and Greek seemed to be what she wanted. So I replied that there is, though I haven't been to the place yet, but not far from where we live in Oshawa sits a place called Chef Tommy's, and it has a pretty good pack of reviews on Yelp. So we decided to go there, not realizing they're closed on Mondays. So, we head a little further afield to the Greek Tycoon. And it was a great choice. Service was friendly, the menu had lots of options, and the food was amazing. Let me try explaining. First, there was sort of a tag-team of servers, the first took our order including for a half-litre of wine, and I don't know if he communicated it telepathically, but it seemed like the wine arrived almost immediately. Nothing fancy, just the house red, but it was a great pair with my roast lamb. Next out was some nice warm bread and a couple of dips we ordered, hummous and Ktisomething - I can't remember the name of it, feta cheese and peppers basically. Follow that a good size Greek salad and before long the mains arrived. Now, here's the thing. The prices looked comparable to a higher end place on the Danforth, but when the food came, the portions were enormous. So enormous in fact that we all have another meal of out them. So basically, I'm eating roast lamb again for dinner with all the accompaniment, and that suits me fine. We even got a shot of ouzo on the house for the holidays, a nice finishing touch. Awkward moment when we left though, our guest was generous enough to pick up the tab, and paid with debit. A while later as we finished our wine and conversation, an older guy we hadn't seen, perhaps the Tycoon himself, came to the table, tasked with the embarrassing job of asking if my friend has made a mistake with the tip, as it was only $0.20! Clearly, that was wrong and we fixed it up right away, laughs and red faces following. So glad that I don't have to trek to the Danforth for a ridiculous Greek meal.
