    Lunch 3 dip
    Amy B.

    Food was amazing! New to UTC and excited to try more of their food. It all looks delicious!

    Greek Salad - $20 - very good
    Cat M.

    Enjoyed dinner here with 24 women on a Wednesday night. We were sat at 2 long tables by the outdoors so it was nice to dine in while having open outdoor space next to us. They offer HH but I didn't get a chance to see the menu other than it's from 3-6. We were given filtered tap water in bottles on our tables & rolls with a great olive oil dipping sauce. The rolls were terrible & not worth the carbs. Wish they would have served pita instead. They offer specials which were quite high in price & on their regular menu, they have a great variety of salads, apps, wraps, & entrees. I opted for the classic Greek salad. It was good. My friend got the roast chicken entree & absolutely loved it. The meat fell off the bone easily. Other women by me really enjoyed the chicken wrap, steak wrap, & spanakopita. I walked by someone enjoying what looked like a lamb shank & it looked great! However, those astronomical prices for the entree's prevented me from ordering them. Service was fantastic & the atmosphere is beautiful! Go check it out!

    Vegetarian Moussaka
    Kate A.

    The ambiance is very nice, and the wait staff (slow when busy - we had to wait 10 minutes just to get someone's attention), is still friendly. The spanakopita is a nice size, and the moussaka is such a dense dish you can easily make it two or even three meals. BUT the menu is overpriced, and if you are a vegetarian (or someone like me who doesn't eat beef, pork, or lamb), you will have very few options to choose from. I've been once, but I'm not sure I need to go back.

    Daily special: Veal chop with salad.

We all basically got various versions of chicken souvlaki. I got the horiatiki salad with souvlaki chicken. It was very flavorful and I loved all the veggies and olives plus delicious feta. My SIL and husband had the two versions of the souvlaki platter which they enjoyed. The chicken was very tender. My SIL didn't really care for the fries. My husband didn't like the vegetables being on top of the Greek potatoes that weren't very good. The primary issue was the woman who waited on us. We were seated a few minutes after we arrived. Unfortunately, we were not given menus which was frustrating and instead of the woman owning it herself, she blamed it on the new guy. We ordered and it took a while to get our food and the restaurant wasn't that busy. The woman kept complaining about various things and I assume most people could hear. Not really the vibe you want when trying to enjoy a meal with family you don't get to see very often. It also took a while to get the check and to go boxes. Everyone has a bad day and the holidays are stressful times. I hope it was just a one off.

Warm and inviting dining rooms ( three). Big menu, and all our choices provided us with exceptional food: the three dip special ( we had hummus, eggplant and torokafteri) with yummy pita; the chicken lemon soup was excellent; my spanakopita was light, crispy and fantastic, as was the accompanying side of Greek salad which had a delicious dressing. My husband ordered the seafood platter, and everything was well prepared, tasty and also light. We ordered some wine, an imiglykos, which was sweet and good. The table next to us ordered beer salad, lamb shank, and gyro platters which all looked mouth watering. Djonisi was an excellent server, very personable. The customers at the next table told us they were present when the restaurant opened two years ago, and that they moved out of the area, but to give this restaurant our business. This is definitely going to be our go to Greek restaurant from now on, and it should be yours too. (Also, ladies room had two large and very clean stalls).

Here in mid October the weather was and is great to sit outdoors. We decided to start with calamari and it was honestly the best calamari I've ever had, it was cooked perfectly and it was enough for four. It wasn't chewy nor was it fried to hard and it came out piping hot. We also received bread to our table and it was warm, soft and delicious. For beverages they have alcohol but it wasn't our desire tonight, so I had a coke and my wife had a Greek beverage called "Epsa". So since we were both getting full, we decided to get the lamb chops which was highly recommended by our server. The chops come as an order of four and they again had to be the best lamb chops I've ever had. They were even better than mine and I'm famous for my chops. Let me share with you that the temperature was just right, they were thick, juicy and very tender. I also got desert but I was to full to eat it, it was the orange sponge cake and I'm sure it's as delicious as it looks. The atmosphere here is really nice and the customer service was beyond outstanding and with both great food and customer service it will definitely see me again. Our server was "Martina" and her helper were amazing, I would definitely try this place if your hungry and in the area

Cubed yellow fin tuna: Also a very large portion and good flavour but it could have gone without the tomatos (and I love tomato's) And perhaps served with a rice cup or something to scoop it up. Everything is diced up so it makes it kind of messy to eat. We got a burger to split. we didn't order a side but the waiter I guess put them in anyhow. The FF without the poutine are just ok. The burger on the other hand was really good and cooked perfectly. We split everything and took home left overs, as it was a lot of food. We shared the butterscotch gelato and had coffee to go with it. The service is good, The athompshere is pleasant. We will definitely be back to try some of the other items. I'm not a greek fan so I wouldn't touch those but my husband will. :)

A quick Google search did not disappoint. I happened to be right across from a beautiful shopping center and spotted this stunning Greek restaurant. Mediterranean cuisine is my absolute favorite, so I was immediately excited. The only catch? I was cutting it close. They close at 9:00 PM on Thursdays, and I was just seven minutes away with about 30 minutes to spare. I decided to take my chances -- and I'm so glad I did. I sat at the bar and was warmly greeted by a very kind and welcoming bartender. I ordered two glasses of Pinot Grigio and an incredible platter with hummus, chicken skewers, olives, and sliced meats. The platter looked intimidating in the photo, but it's absolutely manageable for one person -- just be warned, the pita bread will fill you up quickly! Even though I felt a little guilty arriving close to closing and staying a bit past 9 to finish, the staff never made me feel rushed. If I hadn't felt bad about the timing, I absolutely would have ordered dessert -- and probably an espresso martini to top it off. Now I know for next time I'm back on the West Coast. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed with a classy, upscale feel -- even though I showed up looking like I had just survived a road trip (because I had). There's only so much glamour you can maintain after three hours in the car. I highly recommend coming here for dinner and then walking around the shopping area afterward. It's exactly my kind of shopping destination -- you truly have everything you could think of in one place. I just wish we had something like this closer to home.
