Great food and great service! Started with the pan fried kalamari and the saganaki "opa". The Saganaki was PERFECT, a must try for sure. They also give you free bread to start and its super fresh and comes with a dip of some sort. I had the moussaka for my main and this was great. My only complaint is that there was too much ground beef in proportion to the veggies, and not enough potatoes (the potatoes on the bottom were SO good). Comes with a side of rice and veggies too. All around fantastic place for greek food in thornhill. read more

Santorini Estiatorio - Moussaka - Greek Near Me - Thornhill, Ontario

A classic but authentic Greek restaurant situated in an historic Thornhill home. You can come here with just your loved one, but the experience is best gained by dragging the whole family out. Kids and grandparents alike love this restaurant. Great service from long term employees, freshest of fish, and consistent in quality. I recommend the always favorite saganaki, OPA! And the rack of lamb (order it rare). read more

Good ambience and quality food. The hummus that came with the bread was a pleasant addition to the traditional olive oil. I had the braised lamb and combined with the bread in the beginning, I was stuffed! Calamari was very well done as well, with a generous portion to boot. Only took off one star because they have one draft beer on tap, otherwise this place is highly recommended! read more

Went here for a birthday and so we booked a private room. The room itself looked very clean and I loved the decor. Food: 10/10 - the hummus that comes out with the bread was a hit at our table! MMM MMM good. Our entire table of 12 ordered souvlaki plates and the meat (chicken, lamb, pork) was so juicy and tender. Also a huge hit at our table. Yum! Service: 10/10 - they really know how to treat guests at Santorini. Not sure if the service was especially good since we were celebrating a birthday, but they did a wonderful job of making us feel right at home. Definitely a dining experience to remember. The food is reasonably priced and it's nice to have a restaurant like this so close to home. Will definitely be returning. Thanks again! read more

Came here for date night on a weeknight, and found a Lovely Greek restaurant with amazing food. The exterior looks a bit run down, but inside it's clean, well maintained, and well lit. Good decor and atmosphere. It does seem to cater to an older crowd though, perhaps the location has much to do with it. Our server was attentive but not overbearing - he introduced himself once we settled in our seats, explained the daily apecial, and took our drink order. Throughout the night he came by regularly to check on us, clear our plates, fill our water, etc, but otherwise left us alone. The food really sealed the deal for us. Everything was well presented and absolutely delicious, and portions were fair for the price. We're definitely going to be making many more repeat visits in the future! read more

Really like this place, they renovated the restaurant it has a . Really modern look and everything fits in well. You get very generous portions, fresh baked bread to start with complimentary dip and bean salad. The food is really nice we have been coming here for over 10 years now, however since the owner left the produce selected has changed a bit. They started serving chopped asparagus and corn niblets. bring back the roasted veggies they were great! Apart from that everything is still delicious and always consistant. read more

You want Authentic Greek? This is where the buck stops. I will be a loyal customer for as long as I can. The food is excellent, the portions are incredible and the quality, oh the quality! Try the Calamari and the Exohico is the BEST I EVER HAD! You guys make Greek food the way it should be. THANK YOU! read more

I've been coming to this place since I was a child. They are the nicest people (Family Run Business). They also have the best Greek Food in The area! A++++ Food and Service! read more

2.5 stars I have been saving this review for a while, and actually, have been to this restaurant a couple more times which has affected my overall rating. My first time here was in a private room for a late Father's Day dinner. Service was great and the food was good (nothing outstanding). I am not sure how I missed this restaurant since I drive by the plaza quite often, but there is a nice patio as well. Because we had such a good time for dinner, my parents and I decided to go back to try the patio. Service was on the slower side, but the food was still good. The last time around, the service was bad. We had the same waiter as the one who served us Father day's and his demeanor was totally different. Banging dishes around and cleaned plates that still had food. We felt he was angry with us. As for food, typical Greek Fare: your various dips, salads, meats and grilled whole fish. That night we were out of the patio, they were out of two whole fish types, so I just settled for a souvlaki. I think for this area, with no other immediate Greek restaurants, this is as good as it gets. But overall, there are Greek restaurants in TO with better food and service. read more

Great decoration and food. If you are craving for a good Greek food and don't want to travel to Danforth this is a great place. The ambiance makes you feel like you are really at Santorini. My mom had Octopus on Pita and it was perfectly cooked. My wife had Chicken Souvalaki which was as expected. I ordered Steak on Pita which was bit over cooked but the steak was big and meat quality was great it was still very enjoyable for $20 I would do it again. read more

Please note, my price estimate does not include booze. I was looking for a restaurant for my girlfriend and I in a particular area so it was hard to be choosy. We both love Greek, so this seemed and obvious choice (since it was a celebration). However, the service reviews made me wary. Fortunately, we had no such issues. The decor is beautiful. Despite having a fairly open dining room and a few hard surfaces, it wasn't loud; the fountain in the middle drowned out most ambient chatter from neighbors. The food was awesome. We were dropped some of the house bread with a delicious red-pepper feta dip. The house bread, however, was the only bread and it was *crusty*. The saganaki could've used a little more lemon and given that the aforementioned bread was not strictly appropriate, a little hard to spread. I ended up having the 3-course menu special which was the crab cakes, beef and cheesecake for thirty dollars. For the quality of food, this was a great deal. The crab cakes were delicious, the beef and cheese sauce melting and tender. Even the vegetables were bright tasty. My only complaint about the main course was that both my friend and I got long, semi-thick diagonal slices of carrot which weren't quite cooked and hard to cut. The cheesecake was frankly the major downfall of the meal. It was over-sweet and I don't know what was supposed to be raspberry about it; perhaps some were waved at it in the kitchen. The waiter was prompt but almost-absent. That's frankly the kind of waiter I prefer. His timing was dead on; we never had to ask where a course was nor for the cheque. I would definitely make an excuse to do Santorini again. read more

Delicious. I had moussaka and dolmadakia and avgolemono, my sister got the Opa and tzatziki, all of it was amazing. Atmosphere was nice although we forgot to dress up read more

I absolutely love this place. It's a go too and brings back memories as my aunt got married here.

It was not our first visit. We were invited by our dear Serge. He knows that we like the excellent place and it was the"Santorini Grill"romantic, very testy gourmets and classy service and surroundings! The name "classy " is correct! Great wine, food and public!Would be there again! read more

Lovely Greek gem hidden out here in Thornhill. Generous portion sizes and of good quality. Had the dolma, but the rice was stiffer and drier than expected. The octopus was fresh and tender, but the hummus did not pair well. The moussaka was excellent and filling. Sea bass was decent, if forgettable. It's a 3.5/5. Had it been slightly less expensive would be a 4/5. read more

Same prices as better Greek places on the Danforth; same quality as Jimmy the Greek. But it's one of few sit-down restaurant options where it's located so if you're stuck in T-hill, this'll do. read more

Why to visit them When their manager/ owner fails to behave respectfully, pushes the client and throws the client's phone....! I forgot one of my Iphones in the resturant last night but thanks to Apple technology could locate it easily. Called the resturant and told them the fact that my phone is there and asked the owner/manager to check with their staff. She assured me of not finding any phone and called me back couple times trying to convince me to not go there by saying " you are welcome to come but im sure we have searched everywhere and its not here unless u want to accuse my staff of taking it"! And i kept on saying " i trust the technology and i see that my phone is in your resturant. Not sure where exactly! But its inside your place. So if we dont find it i will need to call the police" I went around an hr ago and explained how "find my iphone" functions.. asked her to search the back of house while i was making the phone ring. i saw the possibility of collecting my phone with the dirty table cloths while cleaning. She went down angrily and came up with my phone in her hand in a minute or two. I immediately attempted to hug her while saying " thank you and sorry for the extra effort to search" when she shockingly pushed me back and threw my phone on the side counter!!!!!! Not only she didn't hand the phone to me but she acted so weird and out of control. read more

Very impressed with this place. I didn't know what to expect but trust me worth it. Food was amazing. Rib steak was one of the best I ever had. Lamb chops and calamari was outbid this world . Was a little expensive. Nice place and super clean. I would say the best of Greece in toronto read more

Considering they peg themselves as a high end mediterranean restaurant, if you removed the white table cloths, the pricey menu and the fancy lighting you would consider it a low end Mr. Greek. We went there on a Saturday night with an 8:15pm reservation. We were seated at 9:30pm because our table's 6 person 5pm reservation wanted to hang around for 4+ hours. The maitre'D, Theresa, tried to express her apologies for the delay, but she didn't see it fitting to tell the 5pm reservation that there was another reservation waiting for the table. She didn't want to be rude, however, making us wait over an hour standing at the front was ok with her. Her reasoning was that they may get blasted over social media. Their accommodation for the wait was to cover the first round of drinks. While we stood waiting for our table, we were bumped and pushed by incoming diners. Even the delivery of centerpieces for the next day's event was pushed through at 9pm amidst that crowd and we stood beside other diners' tables to make room. Ridiculous! When we finally sat down, our waiter ran through the specials and expected our order right there and then with no time to look at the menu. The fact that the kitchen closes by 10pm he needed our order right away. Well isn't that the kicker; they made us wait over an hour WITH a reservation and now there's no time for us to sit and enjoy a relaxing meal. The waiter was hovering over us because he wanted to get out of there. This went on right to the end of our meal. Now the food: The menu was nothing special and the grilled chicken I ordered wasn't even edible. Too much spice, tough and dry. My husband's lamb souvlaki, a staple at any greek restaurant, was average and could've been served at the local Mr. Greek take out. Very disappointing meal! Now the loud racket of conversation: I'm Greek and can get very loud especially when having a good time, but the waiter/owner, not sure exactly who he was, came to the table beside us and spoke so LOUD and cackled that we couldn't hear ourselves speak. It went on for a good 10 minutes and became so distracting that our table went silent until he finished. It was so unprecedented to get that kind of loud chatter in a "fine dining establishment". Sorry, but that was the worst experience we've had. The really troublesome part is that I was still eating my meal when they began clearing the table and I felt extremely rushed. We were offered coffee and dessert but could tell the waiter was relieved when we said no. This was not my first visit, but definitely the last. There is no excuse for poor service, unless you just don't care but when you charge $24 for a plate of grilled chicken that was 1/4" thick and tough as nails, you need to reevaluate your establishment. They've been around since 1995 but if they keep the "xorio" (village) standard going, they will lose what they've built. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone! read more

This is a review based on a bridal shower private event that I assisted with hosting. Party of approximately 30. Service: Excellent. The wait staff was very attentive, patient, and helpful. With 30 guests, I was surprised that it went so smoothly. We were also allowed to bring our own desserts and they were kind enough to serve it to us, help set up our cake table, and provide cutlery and plates. They even collected pens for us because we had forgotten to bring our own for our shower games! Food: Large portions, cooked very well. The guest of honour had chosen the first package from the private function menu ($29 per person, but it turned out toe be slightly less as we brought our own dessert). At first, they served bread, hummus, and chickpea and bean salad for everyone to share (several at each table). For an appetizer, we had a choice between mixed greens Greek salad or Caesar salad, and for main course, we had the option of chicken breast or salmon. I ordered the Greek salad which came with plump and delicious Kalamata olives, and the salmon with a white wine cream sauce and grilled vegetables. The salmon was excellent. I find that salmon and chicken are often very easily overcooked at restaurants. I tried some of my friend's chicken and it was moist, although slightly salty, possibly from brining...? The salmon was moist and not dry at all. They provided huge portions, double what I usually cook for myself at home. Atmosphere: We were in the first private function room to the left of the restaurant. There were apparently two other events occurring at the same time. What was great about this place is that even though there were several events occurring at the same time and our private area didn't have a door, you couldn't tell that there were other parties happening because the rooms were in separate areas of the restaurant. I would highly recommend Santorini Grill for a private event. I also would definitely love to come back here to try the regular menu in their dining area. read more

One star for excellent food... Other than that service was horrendous. We had a company xmas party and we had only 2 waiters to serve 60 people. One was extremely rude too. If you open up a decent restaurant like such and expect to serve good food only no customer service because you under hired your staff then rethink your objective. read more

Best greek food in the city. Better than the danforth. I have had almost everything on the menu and the quality is superb. Stand out dishes: taramasalata avgolemeno soup horiatiki salad grilled calamari dolmadakias read more

We go frequently but recently we had a very poor experience. Service was great. 2 of 5 dinners were cold. My hubbie had seafood stuffed in pastry and it was cold in the middle. My dads top layer of ribs were fine but bottom were cool. The meals are expensive $35-40, not acceptable. We are not picky. Others had lamb ribs (excellent), lamb stew (very good) & chicken souvlaki (good). read more

Went for lunch last Saturday with the family. Santorini has never disappointed. We all had a variety of dishes. I ended up choosing the fried calamari dinner. It was pricey at $25 but the amount of calamari on he plate was substantial. The veggies and potatoes were cooked perfectly. The calamari was cooked to perfection but it was slightly salty for me. Not enough to deter me from eating I just noticed it was a touch salty for me tastes. Overall great lunch. Always great at Santorini. read more

I have literally not had a bad meal here. I have held and been to many events here and they're always well run and the food is top top quality. The surf and turf is the best I've had in the GTA. read more

What a disappointment! The service was adequate, but the food....well let's just say I could have done better in my own kitchen. I ordered the Santorini Pasta...a dish with jumbo shrimp. Well, the shrimp were cold and rubbery. I had to fight to get them out of the shell. Perhaps they were leftover from lunch???? And the sauce....could have done better with a jar of my favourite bottled sauce from the grocery store. It certainly would have had more flavour. When my server asked how things were, and I told him I was very disappointed with the meal, he simply said, "sorry to hear that" and walked away. That is what I should have done....walked away! But being the nice person I am, I picked at the mediocre meal, paid and left, vowing to voice my views in the court of public opinion. I won't return and I will NOT recommend this restaurant. read more

We've been frequenting this restaurant for decades and have always had a great meal. Well that streak stopped tonight with the absolute worst meal and service ever. Went out to celebrate my dad's milestone birthday and waited 90 mins for food. In that time a meal was brought to me, then swiftly taken away as it was meant for another table, when our meals actually came they were cold and over salted. The timing of the meals was not synced for all the guests at our table and we ended up eating together in groups of 2-3 ppl vs as a group. The whole time we were there was a comedy of errors and stressful meal. It was a complete disaster and I'm embarrassed and saddened for my dad who just wanted to celebrate his birthday with his wife, children and grandchildren. read more

My friend and I decide to explore something new in the area. Something nice and different. This place is so amazing. The food is incredible. The service is exceptional. The atmosphere is very welcoming. Definitely a good place for different occasions...dates, family dinners, etc. The bread is amazing by the way! Definitely a place to come back to! read more

Excellent food and service. By far the best Greek restaurant in York Region... Will definitely revisit

I dined here with my family on the weekend for a special dinner out. We used to frequent Santorini but hadn't been there in some time. Fortunately, they did not disappoint this time around! The service and food were great. Our party of three started off with the avgolemono soup. We then shared the "dinner for two". While somewhat pricey at $75, it was a reasonable deal considering all three of us ate and we still had leftovers! The Greek salad starter was excellent. The platter of meat then came out - salmon, moussaka, lamb chops, steak, and shrimp. They were each delicious. It was served with rice and vegetables. The vegetables were on the under-cooked side (carrots were still very crunchy) but overall, the food was great. As we were celebrating a birthday, the restaurant provided a piece of the most delicious 3-layer chocolate mousse cake. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Santorini. The 4/5 rating is only due to their increasingly steep prices, but I suppose that is to be expected given the higher end of the restaurant and pricing trends these days. read more

Better than the Danforth! Every meal starts off with rustic crusty bread, the best taramasalata ever and a bean salad. Notable dishes: - Avgolemono Soup - Horiatiki Salad (Villiage Greek Salad) - Grilled Calamari - Lamb Chops - Mussels Honestly we have never found a bad dish and have been going for years. I would recommend to anyone. read more

I have been eating at Santorini for many years and let me tell you, last night was my LAST visit. The service was absolutely terrible. As soon as we sat down at our table the waiter was being very rude. He did not want to take my order until I spoke to him in Greek (and I am Italian/Irish) so it was not possible for me to speak to him in Greek! The food is way over priced and to be honest, it is nothing special. I am never going back to this place ever again. Cheers, Mark read more

We went there on 06/22/2015. I've been there previously a few years ago and Im not sure if they have changed ownership or what but the service was crap and so was the food. Service: When I first walked in I waited at least 5 minutes to get seated, I sat and waited for my friend to arrive. I sat at my table for more than 10 minutes before anyone came up and took my drink order and brought me the taramasalata and the bean medley. Then my friend arrived and ordered a glass of wine. When her wine came she had someone else's lipstick print on her glass which in itself was disgusting. Then when we got a hold of a waited after waiting more than 5 minutes, he came by and we told him about the glass, his exact words were "Well this is awkward, I'll bring you a new glass" didn't apologize didn't offer to take the wine off the bill didn't do anything that would be acceptable in this "High end restaurant". We also asked for water from the lady who seemed like the owner and that didn't come. We had to ask our waiter to bring it for us. Food: I admit that the bread and the taramasalata and bean medley was great. We also ordered calamari grilled which was ok, it was a little well done. I had ordered a glass of wine only to be told that they don't have it and was asked to get another one. This is unacceptable, I've been to multiple high end restaurant and I've also been to this one a few years ago and at that time I LOVED it, I don't know what has changed but I will NOT be coming back here ever again. I ordered the chicken souvlaki dinner when it came the chicken was extremely dry and the potatoes were soggy.My friend ordered lamb medium rare and it came rare her potatoes were also soggy. That is all. read more

The food made me sick and considering how much I paid for it I was really disappointed. The inside looks nice, the service was ok but the prices are way too high, especially for the amount of food you get. Quality was good, nothing to go insane over. First time I've ever gotten sick after eating out. read more

The Yelp summary shows only 2 dollar signs ($$) -- are you kidding me? This is a super expensive $$$$ joint. My problem is that my wife and I remember this place when it first opened. Back then it was great food AND great prices. Somewhere along the way they decided to cater to the upper-end crowd (a polite word for wealthy) only, and the prices went through the roof. Their signature Greek salad for example is more than double what we used to pay and the portion is actually smaller. Same across the board. I completely understand the concept of restaurants that cater only to upscale clientele ("if you have to ask what it costs, you should not be there in the first place") but it is sad to see a family neighbourhood restaurant go down that path. read more
