April 7th 8:00. Reservation was at 8. Walked in just for the bartender working to say quote on quote “go on a walk come back in 20”. I was appalled at this response. No apology for running behind schedule, barely looked at us when he responded. Understand it was a busy night but this was no way to respond. I work in the hospitality industry and have worked at places from pubs to the Fairmont, this was unacceptable in my eyes.The bartender was off for the vibe of this restaurant. Seems like it was too much stress for him to keep his composure.Our server assumed 2 of us were sharing our mains when we never said such thing, so we were missing one dish... Then proceeded to tell us to split the plate for 20 mins until they can make the dish that was missing.A smile and any apology would have warranted a different response. Service was just interesting….As someone who works in the industry I would never not tip, but this was a time that I REALLY wanted to press no tip. JUST. HORRENDOUS. SERVICE.Food was great tho, credits to the chef. Get takeout

We had the lamb shank and the scallop gnocchi - sat at the bar. The bartender was entertaining and provided good service. Food was flavourful but far too heavy on the salt, after a few bites it was overwhelming. Will stick to the souvlaki next time - its excellent.

Had a Reservation for 8. When we arrived they Lost our reservation. Manager remembered that we had booked and shared I was bringing my team down for a celebration. Finally got a table after waiting 20 mins. 45 min before we received beverages. Never offered appetizers. Never checked back to see how our food was. No offer on beverage refills. No dessert offerings. Talked to the owner and his response was we are busy. Very disappointed as I have gone here often and have recommended this restaurant because of the great food and service. Brought my team down and was very embarrassed. Left a 20% tip because waiters do not do this job for the wages. Will not be returning. Very very disappointed.

This is the best restaurant in Kingston. End of story. I went here for a birthday dinner and the every single dish was fantastic. I recommend the brushcetta, shrimp cocktail, lobster linguine, and ANY of the steaks. An incredible meal. Excellent friendly waiters. Reasonably priced for such high quality food and large portions.

Wonderful experience. Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, and great service. Will definitely be back.
We took a large group here late on a Saturday night and it didn’t disappoint! The restaurant accommodated our group of 25 without issue. We had a family style menu put together for us which was an Amazing way to try so many great options on their menu. We left full and satisfied! The service was also great. Very attentive and always available for questions, drink orders and dietary restrictions. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone coming to Kingston! I’ll definitely be back.Vegetarian options: We were able to provide options to our vegetarian guests including bruschetta, veggie pizza, grilled veggie skewers, cheese flambe, pasta and eggplant parmigiana.Dietary restrictions: We had gluten free and vegetarians in our group and they were able to accommodate and provide options for them as well.Parking: We found street parking which was free in the evenings on Saturday night.

Edit 2024 - Just went to celebrate my 3rd Valentine's Day with my partner and we had an amazing experience! Thank you Grecos for consistently being an amazing restaurant.We started off with saganaki and mussels, I had the linguine tuto mare. We then finished with the chocolate mousse and coffee.Previous review (2022 I believe): I have been going to Grecos for over 10 years and have never had a bad experience. My partner and I had the saganaki and mussels to begin which were perfect as always. I had the linguine with clams and my partner had the lamb shank. Both were delicious.Thank you Grecos for a fantastic night!

No complaints - we had an enjoyable time here and that's likely thanks to our friendly, personable, and very attentive waiter. Atmosphere was great. Perfect for an evening date or even a family meal. Food was delicious as well. 10/10 would come again.
