| - This restaurant in a shopping centre in Scarborough. Off the beaten path for me but I hope to find myself there again soon.
On a Saturday night the spacious room was dimly lit and quiet with few customers. Just right for sitting in a corner with a friend and having a quiet conversation without the unbearable noise level that happens so often where there is good food and alcohol. Though I did wonder later why a restaurant with such great food for the price wasn't busier.
Now, the best part: the food:
For starters, we had calamari, very nice and the yogurt sauce was great.
We both ordered the roast lamb plate (under $20). A generous Greek salad arrived first, then the lamb - a big plate of it, tender and delicious. The veg seemed fresh and perfectly cooked. They may have been frozen, I am not sure, but they were good. Then the potatoes, very nice. Although we couldn't stop eating because it was all so good, there was still enough food for a Styrofoam box to be taken home and enjoyed the next day.
The house wine, Apelia, we tried in both red and white. I don't drink much but that wine was very nice with the lamb so I had a second glass of the white.
Service was by a lovely man who was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating.

The website doesn't seem to have a dinner menu on it, but apparently they even serve breakfast there.
I sure wish this place was closer to downtown where I live! I loved the food and the prices. It's the kind of restaurant where I want to try everything on the menu.
