Vegan Calamari
P S.

Had the opportunity to experience some Incredible AUTHENTIC Greek food on our recent trip to Vancouver. The Greek has a cozy and dark setting with a DJ adding a sprinkle of hip-hop flare. Our server Adam took care of us like family- Kind staff, clean and fast service. We sampled the Lamb Youvetai- Tender lamb on a bed of orzo pasta (Incredible)- Vegan Calamari - made with crispy oyster mushrooms and my personal fav- Keftedes- lamb/beef meatballs topped with a tomato sauce and cheese DELICIOUS- Great for dates or after the club. And dont forget the (reverse happy hour) 10-close Fri-sat /9-close sun- thurs

Greek Salad

Had a great meal at The Greek. Delicious Greek salad, of course. Very tender lamb youvetsi.

Came here as part of their "Fan Favourites" Promotion. We tried the moussaka, and lamb youvetsi. Both came out great and quite tasty. The Dip Trio was kind of a disappointment in what you get for the price (and there is never enough bread...) but it was a good starter. I think I would pick something else next time. The biggest disappointment was their Baklava. It was not crispy at all, and it was just not very good. A+ on the server for helping us celebrate our special night though, for that it redeemed itself from the mediocre dessert :)

Absolutely loved the experience. After a long flight and a long day, I had a very chill dinner of delicious food with the friendliest service. I made a reservation but had to change it last minute and they were so nice about it. My friend ordered a greek salad and spanakopita while I ordered the souvlaki platter. Everything was amazing! Her salad was full of fresh veggies and a home made dressing that I wish they'd bottle and sell. Spanakopita was crisp and perfectly baked. My platter was so full of flavor. The veggies tossed in a kind of tomato sauce, chicken grilled well, the potatoes with the right amount of lemon. I definitely recommend! They had good music playing (lo-fi) and not too loud and everyone around us seemed to be regulars so that should say something.

Stopped in for appetizers on a Saturday night. They were busy and there was a little bit of a wait but we were able to get in without reservations which was nice. The vibe inside is cool...we sat upstairs overlooking the string lights below. They have a decent but not overwhelming variety of options and we finally decided on the calamari (regular although they have a vegan version too that intrigued me) and the spicy baked feta dip with banana peppers topped with blistered tomatoes. The calamari was great - perfectly fried and the tzatziki made a good dipping accompaniment. The feta dip was good as well. It came with pita that wasn't as fluffy as I'd have liked but nothing wrong with it. Service was really friendly as well! All in all a nice evening in Gastown. Thank you, The Greek!

Greek place (surprise, surprise) in Gastown, right by Maple Leaf Square. Parking is pretty awful here. Not sure what to say. The inside is pretty modern and classy, with a mezzanine as well. However, on a summer day, the street patio is pretty awesome. Honestly I felt I was on vacation, with the bustling pedestrian area. Staff were friendly and professional. No complaints. Pricing is a wee bit high, but this is Gastown after all. My group of 3 polished off 2 2-person platters without much difficulty. Meat and skewers (souvlaki) were of good quality. Most of the filler was of rice, with some potatoes and some cooke vegetable chunks (peppers, zucchini). Both platters were served with souvlaki. Wouldn't mind eating here again, though a big eater can probably clear out a 2 person platter without much difficulty.

It was a delicious meal. I love coming to The Greek! Their sangria is also delicious. The service van be hit or miss depending on the night if they're busy. The ambiance is kind of the same. If it's a slower night, I find that it'll be more calm. On busy days like Friday and Saturday, the music is turned up really loud and the lighting is dimmed.

As someone who's been to both the Greek locations, this one is absolutely my favourite. I hosted a celebration dinner here and I can't even exaggerate when I say that it was the best special occasion dinner I've ever had. The ambiance is so cozy. The food was all really good. I especially like the new pork dish that they serve with fries (I forgot the name) and the platters are all amazing too. They have a house-made tzatziki that I think about ALL THE TIME. The drinks are also amazing, I've tried quite a couple off their cocktail menu, and they hit the mark every time. The espresso martini deserve their own shoutout. Absolutely incredible. However, what made this place the best special occasion dinner I've ever had was the service provided by Adam and Olivia!!! Beginning to end, the service was so impressive. I don't think I've ever dined at a local restaurant that made me feel so at home and taken care of. I felt like they went through lengths to make it felt special. We even brought in a cake that got smushed during transit and they did their best to fix it up for me and it looked impressively amazing. Seriously saved my night. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back. With so many restaurants in the area, this one is a gem

I was in Vancouver for a night and ended up meeting a beautiful date who wanted to take me to the Greek. It was an awesome spot right in downtown with a very cool ambiance. All the servers were super friendly and personable. One Ukrainian server came up before my date showed up and told me her life story. It was an incredible and humbling. My date and I split The Greek salad and the trio pita dip. It was plenty, and we had leftovers she took home. We split some dessert recommended by our server, but it was just meh. Service: 9.4 Food: 9.0 Dessert: 7.7 Scale system 10/10 would be what I want for my last meal 9.9-9.3 driving out of my way to get this 9.2-8.0 like the place and would go back 7.9-7.0 I would come here again if it were presented and don't have anything bad to say 6.9 and below - thanks but no thanks after trying once

5 of us walked into this restaurant without a reservation and was sat right away. We were drawn in by the 40% off house wines on Mondays and Tuesdays and opted for a decent bottle of red. The ambiance was great, except I wish the music was a little less loud. The service was great too - my partner asked our server to chill the wine after tasting it because it was too warm and they were very willing to do it. Now for the food. I was disappointed by the potatoes that were served with the braised lamb shank. Potatoes have a certain "chewy" quality if they're stale, and these potatoes certainly had that... I was expecting a bit more from a restaurant that charges $30 for a lamb shank that is 75% bone. Granted, the meat part itself was quite good.

Stopped by today (Monday) for a late lunch around 2:00pm. The restaurant was empty but still open for lunch! We got seated right away but our server was basically on the phone for the majority of the time. We waited a long time for our food after we ordered - we heard the bell ring from the kitchen but our server was still outside talking on the phone... Food wise it was pretty good. I had the pork souvlaki and it came over a bed of rice with salad, pita and tzatziki. Flavors were on point.

Sangria
Janine H.

Stopped in for happy hour and enjoyed one of the best sangrias I've had in a while. So flavorful! I could have slurped down another but I had places to go LOL Staff was super friendly and very welcoming. Loved the whole vibe I there.

We came here for a Winnie the Pooh Afternoon Tea. Oh my goodness...it far exceeded my expectations!…read moreHats off to the kitchen staff for coming up with such a creative and whimsical afternoon tea. First thing that caught my eye was the cover of the afternoon tea menu. It was red with a picture of Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin printed upon it in a shiny gold colour. When flipped over, it had the menu for the afternoon tea printed upon it. I was super impressed that they even had a separate menu printed for Vegetarians. (I opted for a Vegetarian menu). There was a cute little ceramic jar that was shaped like a Honey pot, and it had sugar cubes in it! Then there was this booklet that was pages long, and divided into Chapters. It was basically the menu again, but in the form of a small book. Each Chapter of the book described different foods from the afternoon tea. The last chapter listed all the different tea flavors one could choose. When we sat down and read this menu, I heard more than one person at the table say that they wanted to take this menu home. Guess what? For the price of $25, one could take this menu home as a memento of this extraordinary afternoon tea? Maybe I'm a bit of a sucker, but how often does one get to go to an afternoon tea as special as this? And I've always been a huge fan of Winnie the Pooh. So I coughed up the $25 and brought one of these menus home with us! Food was sooo good. I loved how warm the scone was when I cut it open. This was one of my favourite items. The sandwiches were amongst my favourites as well. As phenomenal as the experience was, I do think there are a few things which could have improved the experience. For one, a bit more service would have been appreciated. I had to wave my hand in the air to get our server's attention so that I could ask her to refill our tea pots with more hot water. Would have been nice if she'd just come around a bit more often and offered to top it up for us. Tea cozies on our tea pots might have been another improvement. A lot of my tea cooled down by the time I got to it. I like my tea hot but I didn't get in very many cups of hot tea as there was a lot of food to eat and by the time I was ready to pour myself some tea to wash down my food, the tea was...not so hot anymore. Oh, and while most of the food was appropriately sized, there was this one chocolate cookie sandwich that was really gigantic and suggested to be eaten last. We were so full already from all the other foods in the afternoon tea, and then to squeeze that giant cookie sandwich in...right at the end? A smaller and daintier cookie sandwich would have been preferred. It was overall a truly phenomenal experience. Yes, I do think it could have been slightly better, but I do emphasize the word "slightly". The points lost were so minor...I would still highly recommend this afternoon tea to anyone. It was well worth the money. It's offered every weekend for now but not sure how long they'll keep this around so if you're interested in a Winnie the Pooh themed afternoon tea, I'd make a reservation for it ASAP!

Staying in this hotel so dropped in solo on a Wednesday evening with no reservation and was seated…read moreimmediately. The Aviation was possibly the best I've ever had; crisp and floral, the violet was just right. The floating lemon star was a bonus of adorableness. The sablefish was buttery and seasoned well, but I ran into a couple of pin bones, which are difficult to completely remove. The best bite on the plate was the charred zucchini. I had the Espresso in the Forest for dessert on the server's recommendation and it was incredible. Rich and decadent, couldn't quite finish it. Impeccable service and atmosphere - seating was plush.

Checked out The Red Accordion tucked away on Alberni for an evening of comfort food and cocktails…read more The Food The kitchen leans heavily into elevated, soulful comfort dishes with generous portions. The short rib stroganoff was deeply savory, rich, tender ribbons of beef folded into wide noodles with plenty of earthy wild mushrooms. It's deeply satisfying, though with all that rich sauce, the last few bites can feel pretty heavy. We also tried the savoury Dutch baby, which had great puffed, crispy edges and a custardy center that held up well against its savory toppings. The cocktail program is just as strong, with well-balanced drinks that don't lean overly sweet. The Service Friendly, down-to-earth, and attentive. We were greeted warmly at the entrance and guided upstairs without any awkward waiting. Drink orders were taken quickly, water was refilled consistently, and our server had honest recommendations when we asked to compare a couple of share plates. Pacing between drinks and hot food felt natural and relaxed. The Ambiance Easily the standout feature of the experience. Set inside a converted heritage house, it feels like dining in a bohemian, antique-filled living room. Between the fringed vintage lamps, dark moody walls, eclectic framed art, and soft amber lighting, the vibe is cozy, quirky, and distinctly romantic. It does get a little dim once the sun sets, and some tables in the smaller rooms are arranged fairly close together, but the character makes up for it.

When we arrived rather than being welcomed we were advised of when we needed to exit. Unfortunate. We sat, my gal excited for the evening was perusing the wine list to select something special. Three times we were approached to see if we were ready to order food. We hadn't selected wine. We had been there less than 10 minutes. We were told at that point (for the second time) when we had to leave by. We selected a top bottle and when we ordered were told what time we needed to vacate the table. At that point I had enough. I wasn't prepared to spend that much on a beautiful bottle of wine (and dinner) to be harassed the entire time we enjoyed it. Very embarrassed I had to ask my guest if we could leave. Went to Cin Cin on Robson and had a proper dining experience with professional service. I will NEVER return to sequel despite living a block away with significant disposable income. Cannot recommend strong enough you avoid this place and I hope the wonderful musicians find a venue close to soon. I stand by this as I comment never, reach out directly.

The Friday and Saturday nights that we visited both had live music and a great vibe. The food was excellent with the standout dish being the pork chop.

Went with an old fashioned followed by a mocktail that I asked them to surprise me with based on a few flavor profile preferences. Overall our experience was excellent due to the delicious food but more importantly the amazing staff who were super friendly and welcoming, especially Alicia P. Will definitely be back next time we're in town!

The interior was super cute but small/intimate. This would be a good place to go on a date night as the volume inside wasn't deafening; you could easily carry on a conversation with your dining partners (surprisingly, I can't say this about many restaurants lately - especially in Yaletown!). The center of the restaurant is occupied by a bar-island. You'd think with a name like "Alchemy" that they'd be known for their cocktail concoctions here but, IMO, this cute place is more of a pasta/bistro/pub than a cocktail lounge. Their alcoholic beverage menu seemed more run-of-the-mill standard to me. Here are the positives: -the staff here are AMAZINGLY nice and attentive. Like, SO nice and friendly! -there's a pretty fast turnover time between ordering and receiving your foods and drinks. -as mentioned above, the restaurant is cute and intimate, there's a nice patio, and the interior volume is very reasonable. -they have a really good happy hour menu, and it's every single day, from 3-6pm. -they have a daily special, including "pasta Monday", where every pasta dish costs $17.95. -their everyday menu is pretty varied with quite a few options for "pub" food (i.e., pasta and pizza, chicken wings and burgers, and mains that include steak and salmon and chicken). Their desserts look pretty decent, too. (The creme brûlée sounds particularly good!). We were there for Happy Hour, so I got a glass of excellent pinot Grigio and my friend ordered a Malbec (or two!), and we shared a Margherita pizza and some tortilla chips with artichoke dip. The presentation of the chips and dip was amazing (a neighboring table had ordered this dish and it looked so good, we had to order it too). And both the pizza and the chips and dip were really good. Really good. The only reason I'm deducting a star is because there was a dirty napkin on the floor by my feet. That was kinda a turn-off for me. The rest of the table and restaurant were very clean. It was just this one dirty napkin. (I took a photo, attached). (Wish there was a way to just deduct half a star TBH). This was a fun local place, with very reasonable prices for good bistro-like fare, and the staff here was fantastic. I'd definitely return.
