Heather K.

Our impromptu visit to Canal Street Grille left us less than raving. The stark interior was unwelcoming and cold. Which perfectly matched the staff who were somewhat preoccupied or disinterested. Even the woman who appeared to be either the manager or owner was less than thrilled to be in the dining room let alone interact with the patrons. The food came out slow with a pleasant presentation but overcooked proteins. We ate, we paid, we left. The End

Greek salad with Lamb
Patrick M.

Walked in at 7:20 (kitchen closes at 7:30), and they were happy to sit us. We sat by the windows that overlook the canal which is usually a beautiful view but it was dark out. I ordered the lamb gyro and my wife got the Greek salad with lamb. It was delicious as always. We were in and out in 17 minutes flat. Great staff and great food. This is a staple for us and we will definitely be back!

Vegetable Moussaka

Had a delicious lunch at this beautiful canal side restaurant that's been in business for many years. The restaurant is in an old Victorian house in Yardley, replete with original details. My food was perfectly prepared. The fresh pita was so unlike the ones served in most restaurants. These were light, soft & airy & perfect for the lamb gyro I ordered. The lamb was tender & perfectly seasoned. I asked for extra tzatziki sauce when I ordered, but it wasn't on my plate. I asked again when our waitress brought our food, but she disappeared. Nobody was answering the loud phone that kept ringing at the front desk. I finally asked another waitress for the tzatziki, & she came back after a while with a small container of an almost frozen sour cream with dill dip, not a true tzatziki- very disappointing! The final insult was being charged an extra .50 cents for the frozen dip. The service was absent. But my lamb gyro was excellent. I also asked for extra well-done fries with no salt & they were perfect, hot & extremely crispy. I'm sure this was a case of understaffing or something because this restaurant has such a great reputation. Again, the food was perfectly prepared & on point, but our server wasn't having her best day of service.

Haven't been to Canal Grill in a number of years as we were going quite often and we're exploring elsewhere but now we seem to have come back to where we had started for Mediterranean comfort food. That's a good menu options very friendly staff very clean very accommodating. We absolutely enjoyed our dinner last night and will be putting Canal grow back on our regular rotation.

The dining room of Canal Street

Fabulous atmosphere! Excellent food!! Delicious Desserts!!! AWESOME SERVER (( Peggy, You ROCK!!!! )) We had the Beet appetizer, the 10 chicken wings which had Great flavor, But rubbery fatty, my husband and I ordered the Chicken Parmesan! Crispy and perfectly Sauced! Over spaghetti..... Yummmm. My Favorite ! The issue was the dinner was NOT hot, the pasta under the chicken was Cold, but I finished mine! My husband left a good sized portion, because Who wants to eat a Half COLD dinner for $22. 00? And your online menu IS NOT updated! Online, the prices reflect, $18.00. My Mom had the Scottish Salmon with a raspberry pomegranate cranberry reduction with risotto and a side of fresh Broccoli and Cauliflower!! Perfection. My Aunt had their Greek Salad with grilled chicken and the trio platter of pita flatbreads and Baba ghanoush, hummus and tzatziki sauce. Dessert was Rice pudding and baklava both house made. The baklava was Tough and the rice pudding was tasty but Undercooked! My husband is a chef of 33 years, I'm not sure if their chef tastes and checks their food but for the reviews and the raves from my Aunt, I was a Bit HYPED UP... and looked forward to her birthday dinner all day! I left Canal Street Disappointed and saddened for how the owner just stood there in the midst of their restaurant thriving but Clearly NOT ENOUGH help. Why wouldn't the owner Set the Night Up for success? Are they perhaps, Understaffed ?? I'm not sure but that's how it appeared. The ONLY issue I had, was in the midst of our delicious dinner, the restaurant was SLAMMED and Our server Peggy and the few other staff were Running around but the owner literally Did Nothing to assist or Help. My husband asked for a drink for my mother and the owner told my husband that Peggy Can get it. Wow. she passed it off to Peggy who had her hands More than Full and she was standing in front of the soda machine, literally Doing NOTHING. It Is Disappointing to see, my family has owned several restaurants since the 1940's and we would Never just stand there while our Staff were struggling. We would've hopped in the Trenches with Staff to Help service the customers. My Mind is seriously BLOWN AWAY tonight. I mean, what if my mother was choking and needed a drink? Would she have Just stood there? Our Bill for 4 adults with the items above came to $171.50. A experience, But Definitely NOT worth THAT MUCH to see how the servers were left to sink! Hopefully, Peggy doesn't have to split tips with the owner! I'm sorry, But Smarten UP! My grandmother would've Hopped IN to help or refill drinks or Something! It's a disgrace to see an Owner NOT set up her Staff for Success!! It's a direct reflection on how Little the owner cares. We won't be back, I will spend my Hard earned Money elsewhere.

The Lamb Gyro w/ The Greek Salad
AJ ..

This was our first time here. I've been wanting to try it and it was my besties birthday so a group of us went and we love a BYOB! We got to try a bunch of dishes and apps and not one of them disappointed. For apps we got The Mussels, The Greek Dip Trio, The Roasted Beets and The Falafel with their homemade Tzatziki Sauce! For our mains I got the Lamb Gyro with Greek Salad picture attached (So GOOD)my one friend got the chicken gyro with fries, my other friend got the Vodka Rigatoni as recommended by one of the staff and said it was amazing, my nephew got the angus burger with cheese and the lemon roasted potatoes and my husband got the Classic Moussaka, everyone was thrilled! Sorry I didn't take more pictures, I guess you'll just have to there yourself. The service was great and our waiter looked like someone famous that we are still trying to figure out. Next time we want to try the outdoor seating because it looks idealistic. Big Fan!

Crab cake platter

Great place for lunch in the quaint town of Yardley PA. I had the crab cakes, which came with these delicious little lemon flavored potatoes and some veggies. The salad was also delicious and everything was very fresh.

Great place to dine; great place for take away. Not just Greek food but hamburgers and such for more finicky diners.

Moussaka is nasty. Chocolate mousse not good either. Greek salad good. Hummus too lemony.

Food is good. Atmosphere is good. Rarely have to wait to get in. Just wish they had a liquor license - not really a fan of byob.

My Albanian wife and I loved our lunch experience here. It was our first time…read more They had a special hummus with ground lamb appetizer. The ground lamb didn't overpower the already expertly executed hummus and added fantastic depth and richness. We also sprung for the grilled calamari tubes and the chef did a great job of not overcooking while achieving an excellent char. We shared the baked cod and the spice was delicate and perfect. Using cured lemon was a very clever idea as the sauce was not too strong but still had depth; the saffron and turmeric were well balanced. The fish itself was NOT overcooked and flaked perfectly. The vegetables were also executed well and cooked so they could be eaten with the same bite. The star of the show was still the cook on the fish with the wonderful sauce. The sever gave us some Moroccan mint tea which was also wonderful. We will be making the drive from the Maine Line to just to dine here again.

Our first time at Blue Olive was to celebrate a birthday and it didn't disappoint…read more The fusion of Mediterranean/Tunisian/Greek food was nothing short if spectacular. The service was incredibly friendly and gracious and the ambiance charming. We started with hot appetizers of roasted artichokes, pan fried Halloumi cheese, Spanakopita and an evening special hummus with spiced, minced lamb served with warm pita. All so delicious we were tempted to forego our main courses of moussaka, lamb kebab and delicious lemon/caper cod served over a bed of roasted root vegetable. Desserts, celebrated with a happy birthday candle on a scrumptious chocolate/hazelnut cake , walnut baklava and Turkish coffee made the evening complete. This BYOB gem is a culinary find and we will be going back soon.
