| - The devil is in the details and Trinity Taverna missed on several.
Decor - Nice try, almost great, but something is missing. The open concept proves to be too open, and you can hear everyone yelling at the kitchen staff. It doesn't feel cozy..
Prices -
It is very pricey for what it is. They try and sell you at every step, the menu was confusing, and I hate those Market Price tags on the menu (no one tells you the actual price, nor, as stated by another reviewer, there is no board with 'Market Prices'. What I find insulting is that you are paying for a nice dinner and it doesn't even include bread. We ordered Tzaziki (which comes with nothing to spread it in) and the pita (small serving).
Food -
Salad - We ordered their version of the Greek Salad, nothing spectacular about it, however the cheese on top was fantastic.
We ordered 1 lb of Pork + a Red Snapper + Octopus + Zucchini
Pork was tasty, but 85% of our pork order was bones (really? if I am paying $38 for a pound of pork, I expect some meat)
Snapper was flavorful, but nothing to rave about, it wasn't filleted properly, and the ended up paying $68 (they assured me that it will come to $45-50 and apparently they cooked a heavier fish.
Octopus was AMAZING, very nice cooked, however the portion was tiny, one tentacle.
Zucchini was good.
For dessert we shared the Feta Cheesecake - very nice flavor, but I have to say it is very expensive at $12-14.
Service -
The service was horrible. Always pushing my table to order Wine (at least 5 times, they were drinking beer), there seems to be a lot of owners/supervisors on the floor and constant questions on how is everything.
In the end the operation is not smooth, a lot of 'owners' on the floor make you uncomfortable, and when I gave feedback (requested from one of them) about the pork bones, they just laughed and walked away.
I told the waiter when the bill came that the pork was a joke, (again, 85% bones) and he said he would talk to the maitre d', the guy comes and (with attitude) tells me "so, what is it that you want?' At that point I lost it. I've been to amazing restaurants in Toronto where the service is impeccable, if you are charging these prices you better provide an amazing experience and food. In the end, they took half of my pork off the bill (crazy). I won't be back.
If I crave high end Greek, I will be back to Estiatorio Volos, amazing food and service always!
