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.

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.

Very solid place that one probably had a similar experience if they went there 20 years ago…read more I had the moussaka and it was just what I wanted. The rice was actually a lot better than I expected. I know it's just a side, but rice at times from other Greek places isn't that great, and this was much better. My wife had the mix grill plate, and I helped. She absolutely loved the lamb. It was largely over the quality and the prep was fairly standard, but there's nothing wrong with that. The other parts didn't jump out, but were still perfectly good. The service was very attentive.

Having had moussaka ($33.95) at more chain-like Greek restaurants, Pantheon's version is lighter…read moreand fresher tasting. The potato layer feels fluffy and sandwiches thinly sliced eggplant, so the aubergine is rather pronounced. The ground beef mixture wasn't overly spiced and even the bechamel sauce was a thin layer, so it toasts the top but doesn't saturate the slice. Ultimately, it's not heavy so you could get through a full portion. A flaming saganaki ($19.95), the pan fried kefalotiri cheese, is a staple in Canadian Greek restaurants. It seems touristy to order but there's something endearing about setting a piece of cheese on fire and yelling "opa"! For me, the dish is more for the atmosphere than taste. Pantheon pan fries the cheese well, so it develops a crust even prior to flambeeing and serves it as a thick gooey slice. If only the accompanying bread wasn't so dry and mealy, a good saganaki calls for a better complement. Almost all their mains arrive with a sizeable Greek side salad that's smartly served first containing ample amounts of crumbled feta and some tomato, cucumbers, and onion over romaine. Their dressing is different, tamer and while still acidic there's a sweetness to it. Not sure, but perhaps they use a red wine vinegar and then blend the ingredients together so it's better combined? With the fishkebob souvlaki ($36.95) I was expecting fish, but it's really a seafood kebob containing shrimp, calamari and mushroom. It's cooked well with a faint grilled aroma, very tender, and lightly salted. Sadly, my steamed vegetables were merely carrots and didn't have the delicious garlicky green beans included on my friends' plates. Luckily, there was plenty with the moussaka so I could augment mine. At least there was an ample portion of roasted lemon potatoes that were soft and fluffy with a refreshing pronounced citrus finish. Pantheon doesn't skimp on the lamb chops that arrive with the entrée. And if you can't decide on what protein you'd like, their menu also offers some as add-ons. The lamb chop by the piece ($11.95) was bit gamier than I'd like but was cooked to a perfect medium doneness. A complimentary honey cake arrives for the table and is almost like having baklava in cake form. Just watch out, as the moist crumbly cake is difficult to pick up with a fork. Don't waste a bit of this delicious dessert, just use your fingers.

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 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

Small kría pikilía (cold assortment) dip platter: 1. tzatziki (strained yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, olive oil, dill, lemon juice) 2. taramosalata (pale pink tangy spread of salted cured fish roe (tarama), historically using grey mullet or, more commonly, cod roe and carp roe, blended with potatoes, olive oil, lemon juice vinegar) 3. homous (hummus, cooked chickpeas, tahini (ground, toasted sesame seed paste), lemon juice, garlic, olive oil; actually a Levantine dip, not Greek) 4. melitzanosalata (roasted mashed eggplant, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice or vinegar, similar to baba ganoush, but without the tahini) 5. garlic pita bread 2. Saganaki (Greek cheese with lemon juice, flamed with brandy, tasted like kefalograviera (medium-hard cheese, nutty and less salty than kefalotyri; has a high melting point, allowing it to brown while maintaining structure, creating a thick crust)) 3. Horiatiki (village) salad (Heirloom tomato, cucumber, green pepper, red onion, Kalamata olive, block of imported feta cheese (~8x8x1.25 cm) with Greek oregano, Greek EVOO) 4. Lamp chop with lemon 5. Loukaniko (Greek pork or lamb, sausage with orange peel, fennel, oregano, and thyme, smoked or cured) 6. Galaktoboureko (Greek dessert of creamy semolina custard baked between layers of flaky phyllo dough, soaked in sugar syrup) Everything was stunningly good. US$77 for 2 with tip, no alcohol. Really friendly server who is a 3rd generation family member that owns the restaurant. Told him I had lived in Greece 1971-1974. He had visited Greece several times, so we traded Greece stories. Nice! Greek Metaxa 7-star (years aged, 80 proof) brandy is so expensive (now: US$35/750mL imported, $21-32 in Greece; 1974: $7-10), they use Russian brandy for the saganaki (sad, I know! Greece inflation has varied from -4.6 (2013) to +26.6% (1974), averaging 7.8%/yr, with cumulative increase 1974-2026 of 6.75x, so a 3x increase in the price of Metaxa 7-star seems like a deal!). I mentioned to the server that the Horiatiki salad was the best I've had since living Greece! Greek restaurants where I'm from (San Diego, California) use Roma tomato, small feta crumbles (so little feta it's just "feh", not imported from Greece), no oregano, cheap olive oil. Five minute walk from Chester station on line 2 of the subway ("TTC"). Does not take reservations. Not wheelchair accessible.

There is a particular kind of restaurant that a neighbourhood cannot do without -- one that anchors…read morethe block not through fanfare but through the quiet, assured confidence of doing things right, night after night. Athens Restaurant on the Danforth is precisely that place. Nestled in the heart of Greektown, this intimate room fills quickly and with purpose. The space is compact and unpretentious, humming with a convivial energy that feels genuinely earned rather than manufactured. One senses, upon entering, that the regulars know exactly what they came for. The kitchen honours the Hellenic tradition without apology or embellishment. Souvlaki -- both chicken and pork -- arrives beautifully charred and succulent, the kind of straightforward execution that reminds you why the classics endure. A rotating specials board speaks to a kitchen that remains engaged and seasonally curious, while starters such as the spicy tirokafteri and grilled calamari demonstrate a confident command of texture and flavour in equal measure. The grilled octopus, when available, is not to be overlooked. Service here carries its own distinct character: spirited, warm, and refreshingly personal. The staff bring an infectious energy to the floor that elevates the experience well beyond the transactional. They are, in the best sense, part of the dining room's atmosphere. Atlantis may rule the mythological seas, but on the Danforth, Athens holds its ground with quiet authority. A mainstay -- and one that deserves to remain so.

I decided to go with the Pork Gyro Pita ("Wrapped with Tzatziki, Tomatoes, Onions, and Fries"). It was ready within minutes and I sat down to dig in. I opened the container it came in and grabbed the pita and a bunch of meat immediately fell onto the table. Likewise, the wrap was so haphazardly closed up and packaged that it was impossible to eat that way. I wound up using a plastic fork for most of it. That problem aside, this is one seriously tasty concoction. The pork pieces boast a crispy, crusty texture that I found irresistible. I could eat that stuff all day. The other components are equally good, too. I'm sure I'll return to Aristos but next time I'll forgo the pita.
