| - We had high hopes for Volos, which promises high-end nouveau Greek cuisine, with a menu designed by Greek-cuisine maven Diane Kochilas.
Our verdict - meh. Yes, the room is beautiful and the service was excellent. But the food was just OK. In order to try more dishes, we decided to stick to appetizers, and none of the five we ordered hit it out of the park. The sesame-crusted feta was very good, but the octopus was kind of dry, the soutzoukakia (meatballs) had way too much of something (cumin?), the fried zucchini were heavier than they should be, and the horiatiki salad lacked flavour (OK, it's only March, and they're serving greenhouse tomatoes, but still - they're charging for it).
Dessert was better: house-made baklava with saffron ice cream, and a decadent chocolate mousse.
But overall, disappointing. So many better options in town, including one or two Greek joints on the Danforth.
