   Finally, after 25 years of waiting, a cool, creative, interesting, and above all terrific restaurant has opened up in our Hastings/Sunrise neighbourhood. I've always thought Greek food was usually pretty solid, but often predictable. This, however, is the new wave of Greek food. Thoughtful, intelligent, inspired dishes that had our whole table talking throughout the meal. Now mind you, we went with the 5 course/10 dish tasting menu, which is often the best and most fun option in restaurants who offer it, so I can't speak for anyone who just orders a dish or two off the menu. The value we got for $80 a person was amazing. We were all happily stuffed. The ambience is smart and inviting, and the service was very attentive. We'll be coming back regularly, and we don't go hardly anywhere regularly, so that's saying something. Cheers, Brad

   Great food and beautiful ambiance. The hummus with lamb and lamb ribs were such a highlight!

   Everything we ordered was just perfectly made sense and executed. The atmosphere, atmosphere, branding and plate & decor were just right. and I tend to be easily bothered when the volume of the music is off unfortunately, but didn't have that problem here, which was so refreshing.

   The space is lovely and the service was as well. We ordered 1 small 3 medium and 1 large dish plus a dessert and we were stuffed and took a few things home. Red pepper dip and pita was great as was the tabouleh salad. We then had the mussels which was delicious. The zuchini was nice but a little undercooked for my liking. We had the octopus with the squid ink orzo which wasnt my favorite, but others might enjoy it. Overall will definately go back and try a few other dishes that we were interested in but didnt order.

   We showed up thinking our reservations were at 7pm but they were actually for 7:45. The hostess was so kind and said it was no problem as we had selected bar seating. She got us a regular table pretty quickly though so that was really awesome of her. Service was really exceptional from the bartender and then our server once we moved to a table. Food was delicious, can’t wait to try other items for another visit. Cozy yet modern restaurant with great ambiance

    Food took a bit on the longer side to come out, we were told we’d have to be out by a certain time but we waited a bit longer than expected for food and couldn’t meet the dine limit. Otherwise everything was great we had a lovely girls night , our server was great, food was delicious. I’d recommend family style so you can try more things and share. Thanks for having us!
