| - I heard good things about this restaurant and when I finally tried it , I was a little disappointed that it didn't live up to what I had heard. However, this is not to say it was a bad experience overall , it is just not my favourite , especially with such great greek food options in montreal that are alot less expensive. So first off, the decor inside is actually very nice and has a nice atmosphere , with lots of seating without feeling like you are crowded in, even though the restaurant was full to capacity, so that was nice. (Great for large groups , but even if you are just two, definitely make a reservation). Another positive point was that service was outstanding , they didnt miss a beat and were so friendly and attentive to all the tables and really make you feel welcome. The food itself tasted fresh and wasnt bad but It was definitely overpriced. We started with the assortment of greek dips (which was way overpriced for what you get and does not come with Pita to dip into it , which was odd to me), the dips were not bad , their Tzatziki was solid though (very good job on the Tzatziki!). We also had the spanakopita to share and that was absolutely delicious ! The main meals were less impressive. My boyfriend had the lamb chops with veggies but he said they really lacked alot in flavour and really didnt stand out. I had the Moussaka , which was not too bad , it had more going in the way of flavour but was definitely not he best I have had. Both main dishes tasted like the ingredients were fresh and prepared with care but the problem was more in terms of not enough flavour and that the prices were kind of high for what you are getting. However, what does help to make up for the prices is that this place is a bring your own wine so thats nice to be able to do that. I would encourage anyone to go and try this out for themselves though as it may just be a matter if opinion.
