| - This is a great authentic Greek restaurant. It is not pretentious either in the locale or in the service, but the cooking shines.
We invited to the kitchen, before ordering, to see that offering there were in addition to the items on the menu. The ladies each chose a fish (sea bream and sea bass), and I chose Stuffed Peppers the other gentleman chose Lamb stewed in tomatoes.
We shared an appetizer of feta cheese and a couple of small plates of TREMENDOUS black and green olives. The bread was a high quality French type bread, not that wilted hastily toasted offering in other restaurants on the Danforth.
I had a Fish Soup before my main course and it delicious. Great broth, plenty of nice fish chunks, and a light pleasant taste....a real find.
The other gentleman had a green salad while the ladies shared a Horiatiki Salad. I taste both and found them both excellent. Finally a restaurant that does not bathe salad in oil.
My dish, the stuffed peppers was succulent. The medley of rice and meat and the sweetest of the peppers really elevated this dish. The Sea Bass and Sea Bream were all exceptional, grilled and seasoned to perfection. Neither of the ladies eat fish heads it was a real bonus for me. The lamb was good but not great, and this started to provide a 'drag down' on a potential 5 star rating.
The ladies ordered an espresso each, as this really genuine Greek establishment does not have Greek coffee. They had very few desserts, just Tiramisu and Flan. This combined with the lamb got me to 4 stars.
The place is much as Lauren described it. Its very homey, local with a lot of Greek dudes. On leaving my wife said she would happily come here once a week for fish. From Mrs. G. this is high accolades indeed.
