    Mmm, delicious quail, pork souvlaki, and Greek fries!
    Chris C.

    The Greek Grill is a place I drive past on my way to work several times a month, depending on traffic. On most mornings, I've noticed that they have a food truck as well. I've always wondered what their food is like. Well, today I decided to give them a try for dinner. It wasn't very busy when I arrived around 6:30pm-ish. It did get busier when I was leaving though. Their menu has lots of choices but I usually judge a Greek restaurant by the quality of their gyros, one of my favourite dishes. Souvlaki is my next favourite. While a lot of people are probably saying that's not real Greek food, they're still my favourite dishes. Unfortunately, they were sold out of gyros. What? How? It must be good! Darn! Back to the menu... I decided to try the grilled quail, a stick of souvlaki, and an order of Greek fries. The fries arrived first, with a generous heaping of feta cheese on top, oregano, and their signature lemon and olive oil marinade. It looked good. It tasted good! The meat dishes arrived shortly after, looking quite good. They both came with generous portions of delicious tzatziki. Yes! The souvlaki was tasty, and a great value for only $2.85. It had good flavour and was properly cooked. The grilled quails, two for $12, were a very good value, and very tasty. They were cooked just right, with some crispy bits in the right places. The seasoning was spot on! Good dish! Overall, the food was very good, without the hustle and bustle of nearby Greek Town. I may just have to detour here more often.

    A bit out of my way to go to, but it's a great place to get quick and affordable Greek cuisine. I shared the Small Chicken Souvlaki Dinner, Fries, potatoes and Greek salad for $18.00 Cash. It also comes with a pita bread. The chicken was slightly dry, but it could have been because we didn't eat it right away and had about 15 minutes to drive before getting home to open and eat it. Overall everything was good and had no complaints.

    The star rating on this place was right on. I ordered a standard Chicken Breast Grilled with a side salad. The salad dressing was I could tell it was house made & was very good. The chicken was a dry as a bone with little taste. It also came with a side bread which I didn't eat. What bothered me about this place was I overheard one of the waiters/kitchen staff making fun of a customer!! The customer had a legit question in my mind. As far as I'm concerned...this should have NEVER of been spoken within ear shot of other customers!! Huge No-No! If I heard them talking smack about one customer what would stop them from saying the same about me?? I have them 2* for this & the dry chicken.

    Terrific staff. Very attentive, move quickly. Large chicken is BIG. About 20 bucks. 2 kids could split easily, or 2 small adults!? Parking is available, also tricky to find, busy.

    Pork souvlaki with baked beans and potatoes. Greek style !

    Excellent Greek restaurant at the north edge of Greektown! Not well known in Toronto, but it should be, and the locals and greeks from around the GTA take advantage of the fact and the large parking lot is always full. Since I am originally from south eastern europe, I took my parents here as they do not recognize any other cuisines except Greek/Turkish/Macedonian/Albanian/Bulgarian/Serbian and they have zero interest in experimenting or even giving a chance to anything outside that bubble (I know, I tried - only frustrations). The souvlaki was large and well done (pork, of course! like back home), and we had it with fasoules and baked potatoes, as it should be eaten (no one eats rice back home). Large portions filled them up and they very very happy (especially since I tried to introduce them to Vietnamese the previous day and couldn't hear the end of the complaints). Service was Balkan-style, so if that's not your cup of tea, you might have a problem, but I like it. All servers were middle-aged men, again, Balkan-style. Have in mind that in the Balkans EVERYTHING is cooked very WELL-DONE! Yes, it might taste a bit dry, but that's the way they like it. My mother was going to have a heart attack when I took her to a steakhouse and her steak was a bit pink in the middle (she called it "almost still alive" :)

    Pretty average food and service. We visited on Sunday at 6:30pm, and they were already out of the sides my guests came for (orzo and lima beans). They were also sold out of their special. If we had known that they would run out of almost half their sides during dinner time (not even close to closing), we would have gone somewhere else. The service was also pretty nonexistent and had to consistently search for our waiter and make our presence known. A friend has been here several times, and she did note that her previous visits (minus this one) had been positive. Sadly what I experienced was sufficient to keep me from returning or recommending it. The food itself was ok - nothing special. The calamari was chewy and fried for a minute too long in my opinion; the rice was gummy and bland.

    Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Cleanliness: 4/5 Decor & Setup: 4/5 Once again, GREAT Greek food! Had multiple items so can't go wrong there! Service was above average. Good pricing. The environment was nice, up beat, and people seemed to enjoy themselves. The decor was real nice. One of the better ones I've seen compared to other Greek restaurants. Most def be back here when I'm in town!

    Living close to Danforth we have been to different Greek restaurants, they are not very vegetarian friendly, but luckily there are few options we have been able to choose from, bit nothing mind-blowing so far. Visit to Greek Grill turned the things positively upside-down for us, as from now on we will keep going to that place, as the food was heavenly. Mid-busy (two other tables occupied) on a Tuesday dinner time we were welcomed by an amazing server (owner?) and two ice-waters were served in an instant. We were excited to order Veggie Stuffed Eggplant $12, but it wasn't on that night as a daily special. So we settled for hot appetizer of Garlic Shrimp Dinner $9 and we weren't sure what to have as a main vegetarian dish. Asked server, who was a bit stiff and seems like a guy who never smiles, for options and we were offered a vegetarian plate, which was enough to share between two people. Mind me, when writing this I am drooling, as the food which came in moderate time was VERY delicious. The plate, which included Side Rice, Side Lemon Roasted Potatoes, Side Vegetables (cauliflower, zucchini, broccoli) and Side Orzo Pasta came with Tzatziki sauce, a bowl of Greek Salad, which was indeed as oily as one of the reviewers mentioned earlier, but we sucked it with another side, freshly grilled bread pieces and were very satisfied. Shrimps were great and the oil infused with garlic were a true gourmet meal to enjoy. Food was hot, tasty and beautifully presented. An experience which definitely needs a following visit. The kind guy checked on us and glasses were filled with water when they were getting emptier. Service was good, place was warm and comfortable. We were too full to eat a dessert (not in the menu), so we ordered custard pie to go $5 and enjoyed it at home later with tea. Have had better pie than that though. The best Greek food we have had.

    Pork souvlaki dinner large. There was also a salad (already eaten).

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 Food: We had our office holiday dinner here and 15 people attended. We did a set menu which had 3 courses. The first course was Labneh with bread, hummus, & beef tartare. Second course was Lamb pide & pear salad. Third course was grilled branzino, middle eastern fried chicken, black truffle rice, and thrice cooked fries. Then there was dessert which was chocolate mousse cake & baklava. Because of my many food allergies the main server for our table was very attentive & specific in asking me what I wanted as modifications. For example I got a wagyu beef pide instead of the lamb. Every dish was really delicious, presented well & quite filling. I couldn't eat all of the food. Though I tried almost everything. Service: The pacing of the dishes was quite masterful. They really paid attention to when the food was going to come out. As I mentioned above the main server was very attentive to my food allergies. I really appreciated that as some restaurants aren't as attentive. The food was served family style so everyone could take what they wanted from the serving dishes. The dishes were served in little bowls along the tables with each bowl serving about 4 people. We had asked for one long table so it was a little snug. But we made it work. Ambiance: For dinner the lighting of the space is really dim. LOL. I would have appreciated just a little bit more light. The restaurant is in an old building so to use the washroom you had to go down two flights of stairs. The dining area is small also. But it's a pretty space. As mentioned above we asked for one long table to seat 15 people. I was expecting square tables but it was a bunch of small round tables pushed together. So the tables were really crowded with food from all the dishes. But the servers made sure to take empty serving dishes away as soon as possible. The music was a little loud for me so I had to yell to be heard. The place was packed though. Everyone at our table enjoyed the food, the service & atmosphere. The restaurant is close to Roy Thompson Hall & the other theatres nearby so it's a convenient location as well. It's too bad this place is only open for dinner. I would have loved to see how they would operate a lunch time service. In any case, Byblos was amazing. I would come back here again to try other dishes! Note: Some of my pics of the main dishes didn't turn out so it's mostly desserts that are pictures

The open fish market adds to the experience, and the drink selection is solid. Parking isn't the easiest (expect nearby office garages) but if you're there for a weekday dinner, they offer complimentary valet at the St. Regis, which helps. Service 5/5 Top tier. Staff are polished, attentive, and actually know the menu. Recommendations were on point, and everything felt seamless without being overbearing. It's the details that make it stand out, the attention to detail and the care when serving and presenting the food. Food 4.5/5 Went with the lunch menu (great value with an appetizer and main). Quality is consistent with what you'd expect from Milos: fresh, simple, and done properly. They're also mindful of time; if you mention you're on a tight schedule, they can accommodate a one-hour lunch without making it feel rushed. Had the salmon along with salmon tartare and the octopus. Good variety for the prix fixe lunch menu too. So far the best salmon tartare I've had in city.

If you're pressed for time, just let them know when you order - they'll plan to have you out within the hour, or they pick up the tab. I, on the other hand, was in no rush. The staff read the room, paced the meal accordingly, and let us linger comfortably. With four starters and eight mains to choose from (three with supplements), there's plenty of variety, though seafood clearly takes centre stage. I leaned fully into the sea and wasn't disappointed. The salmon tartare was surprisingly, with large chunks of fresh salmon tossed with herbs and finely minced red pepper, giving the dish a bright, meaty freshness. In the dead of winter, that first bite genuinely felt like sunshine - apologies for getting philosophical, but it really hit home. While crostini were scarce, every table receives a basket of freshly grilled bread and a wasteful pour of olive oil. Carb lovers don't worry, there's plenty to scoop up that tartare. The whole dorade royal grilled might sound exotic, but you've likely seen it elsewhere under its more familiar name: sea bream. At Milos, it arrives deboned and finished simply with olive oil, herbs, and capers. That said, if you're squeamish about bones, proceed with caution as the deboning accuracy seems to vary. My plate had only a couple stragglers, while my dining companion's fish had several lingering behind. The dish is simple, clean, and ideal for lunch, so it satisfies without tipping you into post-meal drowsiness. The steamed vegetables were overcooked, though that may appeal to those who prefer their cruciferous vegetables soft rather than crunchy. For anyone who wants to channel a bit of Don Draper energy without returning to work tipsy, Milos' 3oz lunch pours are a great idea. And if you decide to lean in just a little more, they can easily be doubled into a proper glass.

That cheese crust is the obvious star of the show here, while the fresh, soft bread is also quite delicious. The other components are tasty too, but the patty itself is the weakest link. It didn't have any kind of crust and just seemed a little on the bland side. But that's a minor complaint for a rather decadent lunch that I quite enjoyed eating.
