    Greek Salad
    Robert D.

    Had a great meal at The Greek. Delicious Greek salad, of course. Very tender lamb youvetsi.

    Came here as part of their "Fan Favourites" Promotion. We tried the moussaka, and lamb youvetsi. Both came out great and quite tasty. The Dip Trio was kind of a disappointment in what you get for the price (and there is never enough bread...) but it was a good starter. I think I would pick something else next time. The biggest disappointment was their Baklava. It was not crispy at all, and it was just not very good. A+ on the server for helping us celebrate our special night though, for that it redeemed itself from the mediocre dessert :)

    Absolutely loved the experience. After a long flight and a long day, I had a very chill dinner of delicious food with the friendliest service. I made a reservation but had to change it last minute and they were so nice about it. My friend ordered a greek salad and spanakopita while I ordered the souvlaki platter. Everything was amazing! Her salad was full of fresh veggies and a home made dressing that I wish they'd bottle and sell. Spanakopita was crisp and perfectly baked. My platter was so full of flavor. The veggies tossed in a kind of tomato sauce, chicken grilled well, the potatoes with the right amount of lemon. I definitely recommend! They had good music playing (lo-fi) and not too loud and everyone around us seemed to be regulars so that should say something.

    Stopped in for appetizers on a Saturday night. They were busy and there was a little bit of a wait but we were able to get in without reservations which was nice. The vibe inside is cool...we sat upstairs overlooking the string lights below. They have a decent but not overwhelming variety of options and we finally decided on the calamari (regular although they have a vegan version too that intrigued me) and the spicy baked feta dip with banana peppers topped with blistered tomatoes. The calamari was great - perfectly fried and the tzatziki made a good dipping accompaniment. The feta dip was good as well. It came with pita that wasn't as fluffy as I'd have liked but nothing wrong with it. Service was really friendly as well! All in all a nice evening in Gastown. Thank you, The Greek!

    Greek place (surprise, surprise) in Gastown, right by Maple Leaf Square. Parking is pretty awful here. Not sure what to say. The inside is pretty modern and classy, with a mezzanine as well. However, on a summer day, the street patio is pretty awesome. Honestly I felt I was on vacation, with the bustling pedestrian area. Staff were friendly and professional. No complaints. Pricing is a wee bit high, but this is Gastown after all. My group of 3 polished off 2 2-person platters without much difficulty. Meat and skewers (souvlaki) were of good quality. Most of the filler was of rice, with some potatoes and some cooke vegetable chunks (peppers, zucchini). Both platters were served with souvlaki. Wouldn't mind eating here again, though a big eater can probably clear out a 2 person platter without much difficulty.

    It was a delicious meal. I love coming to The Greek! Their sangria is also delicious. The service van be hit or miss depending on the night if they're busy. The ambiance is kind of the same. If it's a slower night, I find that it'll be more calm. On busy days like Friday and Saturday, the music is turned up really loud and the lighting is dimmed.

    As someone who's been to both the Greek locations, this one is absolutely my favourite. I hosted a celebration dinner here and I can't even exaggerate when I say that it was the best special occasion dinner I've ever had. The ambiance is so cozy. The food was all really good. I especially like the new pork dish that they serve with fries (I forgot the name) and the platters are all amazing too. They have a house-made tzatziki that I think about ALL THE TIME. The drinks are also amazing, I've tried quite a couple off their cocktail menu, and they hit the mark every time. The espresso martini deserve their own shoutout. Absolutely incredible. However, what made this place the best special occasion dinner I've ever had was the service provided by Adam and Olivia!!! Beginning to end, the service was so impressive. I don't think I've ever dined at a local restaurant that made me feel so at home and taken care of. I felt like they went through lengths to make it felt special. We even brought in a cake that got smushed during transit and they did their best to fix it up for me and it looked impressively amazing. Seriously saved my night. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back. With so many restaurants in the area, this one is a gem

    I was in Vancouver for a night and ended up meeting a beautiful date who wanted to take me to the Greek. It was an awesome spot right in downtown with a very cool ambiance. All the servers were super friendly and personable. One Ukrainian server came up before my date showed up and told me her life story. It was an incredible and humbling. My date and I split The Greek salad and the trio pita dip. It was plenty, and we had leftovers she took home. We split some dessert recommended by our server, but it was just meh. Service: 9.4 Food: 9.0 Dessert: 7.7 Scale system 10/10 would be what I want for my last meal 9.9-9.3 driving out of my way to get this 9.2-8.0 like the place and would go back 7.9-7.0 I would come here again if it were presented and don't have anything bad to say 6.9 and below - thanks but no thanks after trying once

    5 of us walked into this restaurant without a reservation and was sat right away. We were drawn in by the 40% off house wines on Mondays and Tuesdays and opted for a decent bottle of red. The ambiance was great, except I wish the music was a little less loud. The service was great too - my partner asked our server to chill the wine after tasting it because it was too warm and they were very willing to do it. Now for the food. I was disappointed by the potatoes that were served with the braised lamb shank. Potatoes have a certain "chewy" quality if they're stale, and these potatoes certainly had that... I was expecting a bit more from a restaurant that charges $30 for a lamb shank that is 75% bone. Granted, the meat part itself was quite good.

    Stopped by today (Monday) for a late lunch around 2:00pm. The restaurant was empty but still open for lunch! We got seated right away but our server was basically on the phone for the majority of the time. We waited a long time for our food after we ordered - we heard the bell ring from the kitchen but our server was still outside talking on the phone... Food wise it was pretty good. I had the pork souvlaki and it came over a bed of rice with salad, pita and tzatziki. Flavors were on point.

    Sangria
    Janine H.

    Stopped in for happy hour and enjoyed one of the best sangrias I've had in a while. So flavorful! I could have slurped down another but I had places to go LOL Staff was super friendly and very welcoming. Loved the whole vibe I there.

I throughly enjoyed both of my mocktails; blush hour and another drink that isn't normally on their menu that had ginger. My favorite hors d'oeuvre was hands down the scallop. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We were offered a 5 course meal, thai soup was amazing. It had a kick to it thay clung to your throat but kept you wanting to coming back for more Chicken and waffles was too battered and salty for me, although I liked the pickled purple cabbage that came with it. The sorbet oalate cleansers was refreshing I had asked for my steak to come really rare and found it to be a bit overcooked. The texture seemed slightly different too. I would have enjoyed this more if there was a bit more sauce. Thr mashed potatoes were delicious and so were the Brussel sprouts and garlic carrots. Dessert was chocolate mint pot de creme. I normally don't like pot de creme but I will say that theirs was pretty decent.

    Cute lil date spot! My review is only wine and dessert as we came here after my husband's bday…read moredinner for a nightcap. We both ordered red wines to start which we both enjoyed. Good wine list! Hubby switched to a negroni that he liked and I had more wine but this time late night happy hour had started which was a nice treat! We ordered the Dolce de leche dessert and the kitchen was lovely and gave us both desserts on the menu as a bday treat. The rice dessert was incredible - it was like sticky toffee pudding but with a rice base. The caramel sauce was killer! It blew the dolce dessert outta the water. The service was also kind and attentive! The music choices were odd for our night, I love vinyl and collect it myself but just wasn't feeling the vibes that evening, it was a lot of house style music and the same beat over and over with no lyrics. Some folks loved it tho and had asked to move closer to the speaker so to each is own. The tables are also really close to your neighbor so you catch quite abit of convo around you and it's a touch distracting especially when it starts to get little loud as the room is small. It was fun to people watch though.

Ordering style was interesting, after we ordered our small plates we were ready to select our main courses but the staff just took our menu away and we had to ask another server to put in our main entrees. I understand they were busy so they may have assumed we were done ordering but it was a bit of an off putting experience. Overall food was good, the bread was divine. The highlight item for us was the tuna tar tar with chinese donuts, the chili crips totally brought the dish together. Everything else was pretty good, but wasn't amazing as I hoped. The citrus notes in the canton noodles threw me off and the chicken liver mochi balls felt more like a dessert dish than an appetizer for some reason. Highlight was having the DJ also be one of the servers!! Love the vibes that Bar gobo had, definitely a good date spot. Will have to come try it out again next season.

Since this wine bar is attached to the restaurant Provence, I've often passed here and heard live jazz musicians and singers who perform certain nights of the week, and man, they sound GOOD. It just always felt like this would be a super place to mellow out, have a glass of good wine, relax with friends, either on a summer day or at night, any season.
