Pan on the Danforth does a $15 set lunch and $25 set dinner for Winterlicious. We tried out the $25 set dinner and were not disappointed.
This place is right next to Ouzeri (my usual Greek go-to during Winter/Summerlicious) but I was intrigued by Pan's unique menu so decided it was time to give it a try.
The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a gorgeous interior. Simply sexy. Really hot date spot for sure.
The service here was fantastic. Much better than Ouzeri, I admit. I could find no fault. The food came out fast, the waitress knew everything about each dish and there was a constant stream of serving staff topping up our wine, water and clearing our plates.
The food was presented in more of a fine dining style than most of the other Greek restaurants who aim for big portion size over nice presentation.
I had the mussels for a starter and they were disappointing. They were "tough" and I had a hard time getting them off the shells for the most part. Not impressed. My dad had the fried calamari and it was not great either. (Ouzeri next door has AWESOME calamari). Others at my table tried "Kolokithokeftedes" - zucchini croquettes - which were much nicer.
My entree made up for the shoddy appetizer. Kakavia - a Greek traditional seafood dish of shrimp, mussels, salmon, calamari, scallops, and onion in a tomato wine sauce. YES! Delicious.
For dessert I had the Loukoumades - Greek honey balls. SO RICH AND HEAVY. Phenomenal. I am already fantasizing about the next time I get to eat those.
Pan also has live Greek music every evening (check their schedule) as well as bellydancing. I didn't get to see either but it sounds cool!
