    A restaurant locates in Yorkville, and is underground kind of like a basement vibe. However, the interior is super moody, dark and romantic. On a Thursday night there were only four tables dining here which is such a bummer because the food here is great. Servers were friendly and food came out in a timely manner. The washrooms are individual stalls and there is someone there that is permanently sitting outside to clean after every use, which is amazing! Love that service. The food and drinks here were amazing. I started my night with one of their cocktails as I was on some medication and couldn't have alcohol. It was so delicious and fruity that I didn't mind having the cocktail at all! Looked super pretty and pink as well. The food here is amazing with some must gets and some misses of course. Zucchini fries 5/5 These were out of this world for me. It's so thin, crispy and delicious with their green dipping sauce. Don't be discouraged if you don't like zucchini as you can't even tell that you're eating a vegetable since it's fried and has a delicious cheese coating on the exterior. A must get! Hamachi 2/5 This was a big miss I think. The hamachi quality wasn't of the best and the dish came with 6 pieces of hamachi for quite a steep price. The factor that I think made this dish the worst though was the highly salty soy sauce the chef used to pair this hamachi with. It was way too salty and masked any freshness and taste of the hamachi itself. A ponzu sauce would've been a much lighter and better pairing in my opinion. Lamb rack 5/5 Another delicious must get menu item. Cooked to perfection, was super juicy and wasn't gamey at all. It came with three racks per order and our server asked if we wanted to add one more rack since we were a party of 2. We kindly declined and so glad that we did as it was enough food for the both of us in the end. Watermelon salad 5/5 I may be bias with this, since I love watermelon but this salad was so refreshing and paired so well with our lamb that we also got. Highly recommend getting this dish to lighten up the palette. Overall I really hope this restuarant does not close down since it was so quiet on a Thursday night, because I NEED to go back for those zucchini fries! They're that good!

    I went to Paros, located in yorkville, with two friends. We were seated on the patio, which had a lovely ambiance and "moody" vibe. We each ordered a cocktail and shared the lamb chops, hamachi crudo, grilled shrimp, sliders, and pita bread with dip. Cocktails were good but, I was expected the food to be better; it was just okay. The lamb chops, although cooked well, lacked flavour and the shrimp were a bit dry. Also, the portions were too small for the price paid. Service was good; our waiter was friendly and attentive.

    Part of a longer review... Paros, a Greek sanctuary in the heart of Toronto's Yorkville, certainly sets the stage with an ambiance that takes center stage, outshining the culinary experience. The transformation from the vibrant Amber nightclub to this serene Mediterranean enclave is visually striking, promising an otherworldly escape to the Greek isles. Paros offers a selection of traditional dishes with a modern twist that are designed for sharing, and also offers bottle service.

    First time having dinner at Paros at Yorkville. This place is good for sharing different plates between 2-4 people. The atmosphere is on the darker side, more toward the wine bar style. Our waitress suggested ordering 3-4 plates on the menu for sharing, so we ordered Grilled coliseum shrimp, lamb chop and grilled branzino. We knew ahead of time the 3 shrimps would cost us $30, so we wondered what size would the shrimp be. When it came out, we were shocked they are jumbo size. The lamb chops were a bit overcooked as we ordered medium rare. We were a bit disappointed with the fish filet as it is a bit lack of favor. Overall I would come back second time to try more Greek food.

    Chicken skewers

    After perusing the Google reviews, I took a chance with this new Greek restaurant in the Yorkville neighborhood and found my overall experience enjoyable. It seemed that most of the bad reviews were related to the growing pains of opening week (e.g. poorly trained staff, menu items running out, long wait times for food), which I thankfully didn't come across during my visit. As a subterranean restaurant, the interior was cozy, dim, and candle-lit. The heating was set high and the contrast of the red flowers at the bar against the white marinace granite tables was romantic. For two, we ordered three appetizers and two entrees for around $150 (tax and tip included) and left stuffed. Trio dip - A nice starter for sharing. You have your classic tzatziki (yogurt & cucumber), melitzanosalata (eggplant topped with 2 olives), and htipiti (red pepper & feta). All 3 dips were good but nothing to write home about. The star of the show was actually the pita that came warmed, was nicely seasoned and grilled, and was refillable at no additional charge! Zucchini chips - This was delicious! The batter was well seasoned and perfectly crispy. Though you could barely taste the zucchini, the presentation was excellent with each "chip" clearly evident as a long, wholesome strip of thinly sliced zucchini. Kalamari - I would skip this next time. I found the batter too thick and harsh on the palate. Perhaps too heavy-handed with the chickpea flour. Chicken skewers - Fantastic dish, this one's a must order! The chicken was tender on the inside, charred perfectly on the outside, and drizzled with the most delicious labouth sauce. The value was also incredible so it's a no-brainer. Lamb chops - Cooked to medium-rare as requested, these were excellent in the tenderness category. The accompanying paros sauce was also tasty. Only caveat to this dish was that the meat itself was lacking some seasoning. Overall, the food was served in a timely manner (last dish arrived within 30mins of placing our order) and the busboy offered good service. They specified a 2 hour seating limit but we were satisfied with our meal and left after an hour.

    Milos Greek Restaurant - Bread that comes with dinners

    Milos Greek Restaurant

    (57 reviews)

    Milo's Greek Restaurant has been in its Pickering location forever. It was here when I moved to…read morePickering, 25 years ago, and it has been ages since I've been back. Me and some family members were in the area, and decided to give it a try. We were greeted and seated promptly and then, for the longest time ... nothing. As it turned out, we'd spend a lot longer at this restaurant than we had anticipated. After about 20 minutes, a kind and apparently exhausted waitress appeared, so we ordered drinks and saganaki to start. 10 minutes later, our drinks appeared, and we ordered our main courses then. Although the menu gave prices for wine by the glass, half litre or bottle, we were told that they don't have enough wine to offer any more than a glass at a time. Strange, and unexpected. Eventually, the saganaki (Greek flaming cheese) arrived, and it was really, really good - a generous triangle of grilled, flaming cheese, easily split between the three of us. It was served with some odd bread, which resembled buttered and toasted hot dog or burger buns. This helped take the edge off our hunger as we waited for our main course. And waited. Looking at the time, I noticed that we had already spent over 60 minutes in the restaurant, which was extremely chilly on a cold winter's evening. Many customers, including us, wore their coats throughout the evening. Apparently, the restaurant dining area is heated only by two electric fire places. Our waitress came out and let us know that we had to wait because my daughter's order of octopus was taking a while. At this point, we had already committed to being here, so we had no choice but to see it through. Finally, the food came out. My daughter's octopus was, sadly, overcooked and tough, but still tasty, and the lemon roasted potatoes were excellent. My husband's roasted lamb did not seem like it was prepared as a roast, as there was no browning or roast] flavor, but seemed to have been prepared in a pressure cooker or slow cooker. I had ordered the Moussaka, and had high expectations, based on my memory of Milo's creamy, eggplant-filled, nicely seasoned Moussaka of my distant, long-ago previous visit. However, my portion of Moussaka had the oddest texture: rather mushy and grainy. The well-seasoned, savory tasting ground beef of my memories had now been transformed into a rather average-tasting ground beef mixture that would have been equally at home in a sloppy joe. And I could not find an eggplant in the casserole at all ... well, maybe it had somehow been reduced to such mushiness that it lost it's eggplant quality, but I could swear that it was missing. It was all edible food, though, but not up to our expectations. I hate to give any place a lowly, two-star review. I had hoped for much more, because there is so much about Milo's to raise one's hopes: it's not a big chain, but locally, family-run; it has an appealing and timeless Mediterranean decor; and the menu offers many interesting Greek choices. A few small changes would be an upgrade: better bread, some additional staff and a few space heaters would be a good start. Milo's is the type of restaurant that I would love to support, but I've read enough reviews with similar observations that I am unlikely to return.

It was really hard to flag down our waitress as she never made eye contact towards our table, so my friend had an empty drink for 20min. The food was good once it came out though.

It was a really nice spot for a special night... cozy, welcoming, and not overly loud. We enjoyed everything we ordered, but the saganaki was definitely the standout. The wait staff brought it out and poured a shot of liquor over the cheese before lighting it on fire at the table, which added a fun touch without feeling gimmicky. Beyond the presentation, the cheese itself was excellent... crisp on the outside, warm and soft inside, and really well seasoned. Easily something I'd come back for. The mango ginger spritz was light and refreshing, not too sweet, the Australian lamb chops were cooked nicely, tender, and full of flavor without being overly heavy. We ended the perfect night with baklava and vanilla ice cream. It was flaky, just sweet enough to be shared between us. Portions weren't huge, but we left feeling content. We did have to make a reservation well in advance, which I'd definitely recommend. Prices feel appropriate for a special occasion rather than an everyday dinner. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, a great experience and a place I'd happily come back to.

This was one of the only places a guy that I was seeing when I was in my early twenties and I would go, late at night, when we knew we wouldn't catch anyone else we knew out. The food was predictable, always - and not in a bad way - it just hit the spot after a night of drinking, or when you are hungover. The salad will forever have too much dressing and will be the unhealthiest thing but the souvlaki here was honestly the most shocking thing. Mind you I have not been in six and a half or seven years so don't take my word for it, but for a place to be around this long and still have loyal customers - they're really doing something right, it's not just sheer luck so give it a go! There is zero ambiance or date night feel here, okay. Don't take your girl unless you've been married over ten years. It's boys or girls night out material only. haha
