Friends from out of town love this place, so while their kids were at a concert at the Danforth Music Hall, we thought, let's go for greek food. We walked down to their original location only to be greeted with "For Lease" signs and a placard listing the new location...so off we went to find it.
The new location must be 1/10 the size of the original location. It is very small and lacks the comfort factor of the older location. We ended up seated at the back...it was dark, and we felt tightly pushed together.
With this move they've also downsized their menu options...several signature dishes are gone (I used to love the Gemista, but it was cut from the menu). Anyways, one of our group ordered the octopus and she said it was amongst the best she's ever had. My chicken souvlaki was a tad overcooked (dried out) and the rice was pretty flavourless..the portion size of the potatoes was way too much.
The food we ordered was good, we just felt confined in the small space and we missed the street views the older location provided (it was very airy).
Our waitress was fantastic...efficient, funny and attentive and the food on average with other places I visit.
The problem I have with the new location is that it doesn't feel unique anymore, so whereas in the past we would seek this place out, we most likely won't in the future.
