My wife and I eat here often. The food is excellent, the calamari is possibly the best I’ve had. The portions are large. Staff is great and the owner is too. We would recommend this place for anyone wanting great Greek food. We have honestly never had a bad meal here in the years we have been going!

Amazing dinner date last night for an early Valentines Day meal. The steak was cooked perfectly and the portions massive as usual! What a treat.

Glad that we found this place in Courtney.We were greeted and welcomed.Staff were very good and attentive.The restaurant was clean, had lovely music playing and lots of space.We ordered our food from a very well balanced menu. It was not too extensive, which is wonderful.We started with the saganaki, the cheese was very good quality. It was served with pita, which tasted nice.The cheese, unfortunately, was absolutely soaked in lemon juice. I couldn't eat it it was so absorbed.I had ordered the lamb chops and my husband ordered the back ribs they were both delicious meats, tender and seasoned properly. The side dishes however left a lot to be desired. The vegetables were dry and over cooked, the rice was basmati, very little veg and not cooked as a pilaf. The potatoes tasted awful and were inedible, they too had too much lemon juice! We do like lemon and love Greek potatoes, but this was over the top! The kitchen needs to tone back on the lemon juice.Prices were on the higher side, but not bad in comparison to other places. Because of the good service, atmosphere of the restaurant, and the delicious protein, we will give it another try. I do recommend trying it. Hopefully the lemon overdose was a fluke and a one time flaw.

We were able to reserve for a large group of over 15 on a Saturday night. They were great with service and accommodating and a party of that size. The portions were huge and the food was wonderful. My only complaint would be the washroom situation. You have to leave through a side door to use communal washrooms with the rest of the building... Not ideal or practical.

Very friendly staff and the food was yummy but the night we went they must have spilled salt into the food as it was almost unpalatable because it was so salty.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly
