The restaurant has recently gone through renovations and has become even more beautiful. The mani floor is beautifully decorated with a separate bar and a DJ. It's suitable for gatherings, birthdays and is fully functional during the dance nights on the patio. Patio is covered and heated and on Friday & Saturday nights will only offer bottle service and dance parties with a live DJ. We made a reservation for Friday evening on the patio. Unfortunately, the servers seated all couples cramped in one corner, even though there were many tables available; that made everyone uncomfortable. We ordered Red Wine, "Trio Dip" and "Spaducci Skewers". The food was delicious, but we could've enjoyed our night even more if the sitting arrangements were better. read more

So came by for a friends birthday, once we arrived, we were brought to the patio outside. Several requests for bottles were not available so group settled to what was available. The table ordered a bunch of different items. Everyone has mixed opinions about their food. The sliders, this was so incredibly dry that I had to ask for any sauce to eat it. Paired with fries which were tasty. I had asked to have my food packed (all items ) they didn't pack half of it. The service was good, she was sweet the ambiance was nice but overall, the food review for most guest present was below average. Several chicken skewers brought to the table were uncooked (pink) and had to sent back for further cooking. read more

Place is small with some middle of the room tables and some booths are available. We went on a Sunday night so it wasn't too packed. They also have a VIP area that's right on Hazelton St, the public area is in the small alleyway by the entrance in front of Kasa Moto. No complaints with service, they were fast, everyone was nice. We celebrated my friend's birthday so we had a cake brought out for him. The girls had sparkles which was nice. The other tables had a couple of bdays too but no one sang happy birthday, neither did the servers when they did our table. Kind of awkward but our table sang for my friend of course. The menu was very small, maybe because it was at night? It was around 8pm at the time. Food menu was not appealing in my opinion, we ended up just getting one cocktail each and my brother in-law ordered a pita dip. It was mediocre, nothing special. I found this place to be quite blah... nothing really special at all. But I do like the sparklers. I wouldn't come here again but if I do perhaps I'll come earlier, maybe the menu is different. read more

We dined at Paros in Yorkville for New Year's Eve and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. We were booked for the second seating at 9:45 PM, but ended up waiting over an hour and a half to be seated. At this point we were already annoyed since were left standing by the entrance for over an hour in an overcrowded area, repeatedly bumping into other guests and servers. The lack of space and crowd control made the situation extremely frustrating. The delay was so excessive that we were still eating during the New Year's countdown, which completely took away from what should have been a special occasion. When it came time to order our main courses, we were told that the restaurant was running out of meat. On a fixed-price New Year's Eve menu, this is completely unacceptable. The restaurant should have anticipated demand and been properly prepared for the night. Instead, we were essentially given whatever was still available, with little to no choice. Once seated, the service became extremely chaotic and disorganized. We were not told whose main dishes were whose and were simply told that the food was "for everyone." We were a group of six and ended up sharing everything, despite paying $90 per person for the set menu. It was very clear that the restaurant overbooked beyond what the space and staff could handle. The venue was far too small for the number of guests they accepted, the place was too crowded and the servers appeared overwhelmed and, at times, rude. While we understand that New Year's Eve was busy, that does not excuse the lack of organization or professionalism. By the end of the night, after ordering additional drinks, we paid close to $200 per person, which made the experience even more frustrating. For that price point, the level of service and planning we received was simply unacceptable. Overall, very poor value for money and not an experience we would recommend, especially for a special occasion like New Year's Eve. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Yorkville's top Wednesday spot for bottle service... sparklers, napkins flying, the whole vibe

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We had dinner on their patio on a Tuesday night at 9pm. We came for dinner but it looked like most people come for drinks and light eats at this time. The patio is so nice and has good vibes with the interior decoration and the music. For appetizers, we got the fried halloumi (4 pieces) and hamachi crudo (6 pieces). The halloumi was ok but the crudo was delicious and also the presentation was beautiful. For the mains, we got the chicken skewers (2 pieces - felt like it could be more for the price ), lamb chops (3 pieces - delicious), paros sliders (3 pieces - we enjoyed it ) and whole grilled branzino - meat was so soft. For dessert we got the bougatsa. Our sever told us their wine is all from greece and the glass of thalia white wine we had was one of the best white wines I've had - would definitely recommend trying their wines. We enjoyed mostly everything. The service was ok; we've definitely had better service before. Would maybe come back for some drinks and the saganaki. read more

Being Greek, and 80% of my family owns Greek restaurants I visited Paros the service was very good but that's where it stops the f there was nothing at all Greek about it. It was one of the worst Greek restaurants that I've eaten at . To pinpoint exactly what was wrong with the food. I would need two pages for the quality of food that you receive You would find much much better food at a quarter of the price anywhere. money is not an issue I've been to South Beach Miami, Philadelphia , New York and Vegas I had excellent Greek dining experiences, but to be in the city of Toronto with a large Greek population, and to serve this and try to pass it off as Greek food read more
