Cozy place on a quiet winter evening. Lovely, creative atmosphere. I bet the patio in the summer is the place to be. Souvlaki and lamb cooked to perfection, seasoned well. Would have preferred some veggies with the Souvlaki instead of triple carbs, but all tasty.

Parking: Slightly set back from King Street. Parking on the other side better.

New owners do not due this restaurant justice. The appetizers were tasty but the main courses were a rip off. The 12 Oz steak was more like a 7oz. The chicken risotto, well it was hard to find the chicken, when I did it seemed like chopped up bits of chicken that didn't sell yesterday. Also the chicken stock for it seemed like it was made from chicken bouillon cubes...
Sorry not going back

The decor of the restaurant is fantastic - it's light and comfortable, with beautiful pictures of locations all over the world on all of the walls.
It seems that they change their menu periodically to be from one part of the world at a time - when I visited, the menu was all Mediterranean cuisine.
The food was absolutely delicious, and my favourite was actually the appetiser, Spanokopita. It's like a small pie stuffed with cheese and pita, and I could have eaten that as my full meal.

Vegetarian options: There are many vegetarian options, though some of them have cheese, so not all of them are vegan.

Excellent food! Great service! It's a literal hidden gem in Midland!

Lovely little restaurant, but we ordered 3 dishes:
- carbonara pasta
- risotto (much too salty!)
- vegetable side dish (never served)
Too bad to forget 1/3 of the order, especially when you're the only ones in the restaurant.
We are not even offered dessert, directly the bill.
Damage.

I had dinner with my family for Thanksgiving, and we all ordered the Thanksgiving special. It was amazing, in my opinion. My family and I enjoyed this 3 course meal. We got soup, a main course, and dessert for $28. Definitely will dine here again.

Went there for our anniversary dinner in early September. Excellent service and the food was delicious. I had the sous vide salmon and my wife had the salmon penne and both were great. We splurged for apps drinks and dessert to which brought our bill up but the prices are quite reasonable. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice sit down dinner.

Recommended dishes: Salmon Fillet

Greek salad was surprisingly plain and tomatoes were not of good quality. Salmon and pasta were good, but honestly everything was quite overpriced, even considering today’s prices. Unfortunately won’t be repeat customers due to the very high prices.

Best lunch we had in Midland. Excellent drinks and chef prepared food. Dog friendly patio that is quiet and clean. Highly recommend.
