| - GOOD LOOKING EVERYTHING! From the venue, to the decor, to the food, and... the servers.
I'm glad I joined the group of Yelpers to attend Volos as part of Yelp Eats! event. This place ranks pretty high in my books in terms of having the best food and service in town.
THE VENUE:
I loved the look of the place. Interestingly, they somehow managed to make the place feel open, yet intimate at the same time. Also, the washrooms were nice, too. (I have a weird thing about washrooms - if I don't like the washroom, I find that it kind of ruins the overall experience.) So I liked the look and feel of the place altogether - including the washrooms.
FOOD:
All the food was amazing in taste and presentation.
For starters, I had the Octopus. It was perfectly cooked and very tasty. Usually Octopus is a little stringy, but this one wasn't in the least bit stringy or tough, rather it was perfectly tender. I also tried a couple pieces of the Zucchini Tower. As someone else has already said, it's basically like zucchini tempura. It's a huge dish an great for sharing! The zucchini is lightly breaded so that you can still taste the natural goodness of the zucchini.
I ordered the Exohico as suggested by many. It was really tasty and I was really happy with the perfect balance of all the flavours! Usually the lamb flavour overpowers the entire dish, but not this one. I liked that there were just enough veggies inside and the phyllo pastry is simply deliciously crispy! Definitely worth trying.
My husband wanted to order the rabbit, but unfortunately it is no longer offered. However, when I asked our server why they no longer serve it, he explained that they can't make the dish consistently because they have to prepare it differently if it's male or female. And I believe it when he said that they only want to prepare food that they can make consistently good. So my husband ordered the Black Angus New York Strip Loin (he was in the mood for meat). The strip loin was cooked to perfection! I would say it's comparable to The Keg (but without the excess butter). Thank goodness he was willing to share! Each piece was so savoury and obviously delicious.
By the time dessert came around, I was too full to try anything. I think next time I may have to make sure I save some room for dessert!
SERVICE:
To sum it up in one word: IMPECCABLE!
As Melanie C. already said, the staff was attentive and friendly without being intrusive or annoying. I also felt that they were personable; as in, I felt like I was talking to a friend when I spoke with them - you really feel like they care. And I have to say that they're easy on the eyes as well. Thank you Phil for delivering such amazing service to each and every one of us.
Also, closer to the end of the night, it was great to have Andreas sit down with us and talk about his restaurant. He seems very passionate about this restaurant and I think that he's done a really great job with the restaurant. I also appreciated the fact that he wanted to make sure that all the food went out to the other tables before he joined our party.
AND to top it off, after we had left, one of the staff noticed that someone had left their packed up leftovers on the table so he ran out to bring it to us. Great service indeed!
OVERALL:
I would definitely go back. I don't think it gets any better than great food and even better service. You can't beat that!
So what are you waiting for? Get going already to Volos Estiatorio!!!
