My wife and I have been here 3 times. Really enjoyable Greek Tapas experience. I see other reviewers have complained about portion sizes and speed of service. The portion sizes are deceiving. Once you've done the 8 or 9 courses of Tapas plus dessert, you're quite full. We did not experience slow service on any of our visits either. We never waited more than a few minutes for the next course. And all of it very tasty, authentic Greek food. Pair it with a Greek beer and the great atmosphere (whether inside or on the patio), and you'll have a great dining experience here. Highly recommend!

Brendan our server was amazing! He gave great recommendations for dishes and accommodated us to sit outside. He gave recommendations for the rest of our night and had a super welcoming and upbeat attitude. Highly recommend the zucchini cakes and the falafel.

The food here was really good, although the olives and Feta were far far too salty, so our group of 6 didn't eat many. Everything else was delicious. We were a little bemused by the very structured way you have to order - with a group of 6 we had a few items that we didnt want 6 portions of because some didn't like. Our waitress was a little resistant to us asking smaller portions but in the end we agreed on what we could and couldn't order in the portions we wanted and we were on our way to sampling the delicious food. It was great to see it busy and we liked the decor. The acoustics were a little loud so not great if you are sound sensitive. All round good experience.
We had a wonderful team lunch at this fantastic restaurant. The waiting time between dishes was a little long, but it didn't bother us too much! The food is worth the wait. The chefs put a lot of thought into the presentation of each dish too. We'll be back! In fact, this was our second team lunch at this restaurant. :)

We were driving through town and looking for a place to eat. So happy come upon this gem, with the most extensive gluten-free menu I've seen. The food was great. The servers were incredibly warm and pleasant.

Very tasty, but the charges could be more transparent, single portion is good for 2 but it was not clear they multiply by 2 the cost.

The place is very nice and the food tastes great. The service is very helpful and kind. I gave four stars because my girlfriend and I both got sick from something at dinner. Hard to say what exactly caused it due to varying dishes, but it’s lasted for a number of days now. I really do like the place, and I’m sure this is just an unlucky one off, but it is unfortunate.
This beautiful restaurant is in an older, well cared for home on Nepean Street in downtown Ottawa. It’s located on a side street off Bank Street, but what a little gem of a place!! The food is delicious, the service is exceptional and the charm of this restaurant is impressive and welcoming. There are gluten free options available on most of their menu items and those options don’t disappoint! If you’re looking for a wonderful experience off the beaten path, look no further!!

This place is AMAZING! It was my husband and my first time and the food, service and atmosphere was spectacular. Every dish was better than the next. Our favourite was the gorganzola gnocchi and octopus. We will be back!

Just amazing. Food is awesome. Server was great. Owner is passionate! Nothing bad to say, minus small bathroom haha girls need more space. But, it is 5 star for sure. Been there 3 times.
