    A real hidden gem! After a brisk walk with our dog we stopped by the streets nearvy to grab some grub. The fish and chips here were not only delicious, but really fresh. Definately reconmend you to try it out. We got a seafood platter and got a piece of cod and haddock on the side. The cod was extremly tender and flaky I didnt even to cut the fish, the halibut was extreme meaty and made me question if I was truely eating fish, but my favorite fish was the haddock. The haddock was flaky like the cod, but also a little meaty just like the halibut. My favorite however was the scallops. Not only were they fresh out of the fryer but when i bit into the scallop, the freshness and sweetness engulfed my mouth. All in all, although all the fish were great, my favorite were the scallops and halibut, definite a must try.

    Haddock & Chips $8.25

    Been going by this place for years and never thought to stop in. Thanks to fellow yelpers & their reviews i figured I'd check it out. Probably the best surprise I've ever had. The Haddock is moist encased in the crispiest paper thin batter. Just melts in your mouth. Chips where just enough & the price was right, for 2 of us with 2 pops the bill came in at $22. Normally the bill for one person comes in around that at any other Fish & Chip shop. Not hard to see why, After Chatting with Captain John you can see that he loves people and loves what he does. Definitely worth checking out

    Nice breeze

    First timer. Fish was crisp, good sized portion, fries tasty and hot. Coleslaw was good as well. We'll go there for future fish and chips.

    The decor may not be great, but the fish n chips make up for it. The owners are very friendly. Best local spot for fish n chips hands down.

    I would say this is one of the best Greek restaurants I had so far. When you go in it feels very…read moreauthentic. The flaming cheese was delicious and the salad was delicious. Some broken plates but you can't get perfect. The flaming cheese was delicious with the bread excellent. The lamb was amazing, with the rice phenomenal, so tender melts in your mouth. One of the best Greek food I had in Toronto.

    We decided to come here for my partner's bday celebration as this place has a long history and has…read morebeen a stable in this community area in the Danforth for quite a while, so we were excited to taste some authentic Greek. We booked our reservation through their online phone system which was kind of unique as it takes down her info and number and time we wish to reserve for.... Our whole group arrived promptly for dinner on the weekday and was greeted at the front who appeared to be the owner with glasses. We told him our reservation name and time and info, and he checked but for some reason couldn't locate our info, but eventually found it... We were seated and because it was 7pm, it was busy... We sat there waiting for someone to greet us or to receive menus... Nothing for over 10+ minutes. We've seen new people come in and they got menu, water and bread pretty fast.. We were starting to wonder is it because we're not Greek or something to not get any attention... Then, our server informed us that he'll be with us but he was quite busy, so we understood... Poor guy didn't have the support staff to help him accordingly... Eventually, we got some water, we got menu's and we got some bread, so we ordered the following... Fried Calamari- $26+ - They have grilled or fried option, and really, can't go wrong with either one, but we got the fried version and it tasted quite good and fresh... It came with a small little cup sauce of tsitsiki. Cheese Saganaki- $19+ - An older gentlemen would come out with this hot pan with cheese and he'll pour some liquid on it which will make it flambee, so that is interesting but also a bit of a fire hazard if it catches someone nearby... - The cheese can be said to be salty, a bit sour, and would be fitting to enjoy on some bread that you're given with some butter... Eating on its own is okay. For mains, my bro got the meat entrees which consists of lamb chops, grilled chicken kabob, and sausage for $33+ and it comes with side greek salad and steamed veggies and roast potatoes. My partner got the pan fried cod fish with cold potato mash.. I believe its $30+... The fried cod fish tasted like salted fish in a sense, but a bit dry for our liking... Not sure it paired well with cold potato mash though. Lastly, we got the grilled octopus tentacles with side greek salad, and roast potatoes and steam veggies for $36+. - My bro gf and I both got the same dish, and when we ate the grilled octopus, it didn't taste fresh and the texture was not good. We didn't really mentioned anything until the end because our server was quite busy... They mentioned their seafood is fresh every two days or so, but we can tell the difference between the calamari freshness versus the octopus... We didn't want anything, but thought to share this concern as they admitted there was another table that expressed this as well... We didn't want anything out of it, but just sharing our experience really... As a proactive owner, they should realize this and know the correct resolution to ensure customer satisfaction, but basically disappeared. One thing to note, we gave the front desk owner our bday cake, which we'd assume they'd put it in a fridge to keep it cool or something, but they didn't, so when we got our cake at the end, it melted and was quite a disappointment... It appears this owner not only lack the basic services to customers and attention, but doesn't realize birthday cakes should be in the fridge to keep the consistency to enjoy after... For spending close to $300, you'd think this staple establishment would be a wow factor for services, food and quality... We can say, the only real effort came from our server trying to salvage the night and all, but still the lack of care from the owner really show this isn't the place to be and to consider elsewhere. Overall, the highlight was the calamari, greek salad... Everything else wasn't really much to brag about or stood out.

It's a small, elegant space that feels both intimate and deliberate, with every detail carefully thought through. What we ordered: foie gras, octopus, Caesar salad, and a range of steaks. The meal begins with amuse-bouche -- little bites that quietly announce the kitchen knows what it's doing. The food: exceptional across the board. The foie gras is rich and perfectly seared, the octopus tender with a bit of char, and the steaks are cooked and seasoned with precision. Every course feels intentional and balanced. You get what you pay for here -- and it isn't cheap. Atmosphere: the room is compact but beautifully designed, with warm lighting, dark wood, and an inviting sense of calm. The crowd is an eclectic mix of people who can clearly afford to enjoy themselves -- couples celebrating, small groups, a few well-dressed professionals, and the occasional Leafs jersey on game nights. It's upscale without feeling exclusive or pretentious. Service: on par with the food -- confident, well-timed, and polished. The team moves with quiet efficiency and professionalism throughout the night. Overall: not the best value in town, but easily one of the best steak experiences in Toronto. Perfect for a special dinner, an anniversary, or softening the sting of a tough loss at Scotiabank Arena.
