With all the raving reviews from fellow Yelp'ers, my expectations for this place was quite high. With the Danforth, I find that a lot of restaurants have similar menus for similar prices with very little difference in quality.
I came in on a Saturday afternoon with two friends. My Dining Companions ordered from the Summerlicious menu and I ordered from their regular menu.
Service was excellent. It was a scorching hot day and we were machines when it came to drinking water. Our server was constantly at our table refilling our glasses with water. I was impressed with her attentive service.
The food was a-ok. I ordered the grilled calamari appetizer. It was a generous portion and was served over a bed of greens, onions, and feta cheese. The squid was just grilled; mixing it with the items under it was necessary to add taste. I didn't try any of what my DC's ordered, but I thought the portions were way too big - to the point of not being able to enjoy it.
I truly enjoyed looking at the decor of the place. It's eclectic and reminds you of being in a little taberna in Greece.
When you go, I highly recommend sharing a main entree or ordering an appetizer as your main meal. If you've been on a hunger strike for a few days, however, order a main entree all for yourself. Next time, I'd like to try the desserts.
A solid 4 star ~
