One of the best restaurant experiences ever. The place inside looks sooo lovely Greek, the staff seems to be authentic, dramatic Greek and the food is absolutely delicious, Greek of course. Price on the higher side but fair for the fantastic experience.

Great food ,friendly staff, and intimate atmosphere Lamb shoulder was out of this world.
Staff is incredible Who I believe to be owner - needs to sell Been two times and food is the worst I have ever tasted. Owner is way too on hands and in my view abusive. We witnessed abuse towards kitchen staff and for that I can’t support a business. The two pictures I have posted was the second time they brought it to me and it wasn’t even eatable either time. We tried to leave early as I was literally sick from the treatment of the staff but the extremely cheap quality of meat. We were tried to be smoothed over by a piece of desert, but at this moment we were unable to even stay. Nothing was taken off the bill even though my first meal (Meat) frozen with no taste tomato sauce poured over top. The first time we went I had the lamb and I am certain the sheep was 30 years old as it wasn’t lamb. We won’t ever go again as the quality of products used isn’t the chefs fault but the owner. Lamb should be tender and flavoured, and beef medallions should almost melt in your mouth. Beautiful old house with beautiful staff they would benefit from a revamped owner, or a new one. Pointer - dried herbs while cooking and fresh herbs as garnish. Basics !

Food was meh. I mean it’s too bad. I really wanted to love the place. Cute place. Excellent service. But the lamb was not great. Neither were the sides. The salad was good but very small. All in all a disappointment.

Best reastaurant in town and one od the best greek restaurants we have ever been to. Big portions of such a delicous home made food. Great house wine. Really appreciate the traditional greek decor and atmosphere, feels like home as we’re from Europe.
Props to the servers for keeping a straight face and remaining calm while dealing with a full house, difficult customers and screaming children. Food is always great, you will never leave hungry and they will always try to accommodate you if they can when you don’t have a reservation.

Appetizers and dessert were great. Vegetarian moussaka was unfortunately both underwhelming taste wise which I'd be willing to overlook a bit in light of the other courses but unfortunately it also hadn't been heated through and was cold in the center when served which is pretty unacceptable for the prices they ask.
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Moussaka unfortunately underwhelming taste wise and also served with the center still cold.

Had the pleasure of dining here last Valentine’s Day and was blown away! (Definitely book a month in advance at least if your planning a valentines dinner) Food was amazing, super fresh and tasted great. I can whole heartedly say it’s the best Greek food(and calamari) in Nanaimo. Service was excellent and we were well looked after even when it was bonkers busy!
Love the atmosphere and ambiance. Loved the seafood fettuccine.
