What Guests Are Saying
I have nothing bad to say about this place, but nothing great either. The service was OK, but not great, no drink refills. The food was well cooked but not mind blowing. The pricing is maybe a bit on the high side for the food quality, but that's really because you're paying for the location and eating with a water view and to me that's totally fair. The Fraser River is far from pretty, but hey it's a view, right? Would I come back? If I was in the area anyway? Yes I would with no hesitation, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. Overall I think this is a solid 4/5 stars. Dependable and reasonably good food with a view.
My wife and I were absolutely delighted with this place. From the moment we walked in, we felt a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is beautiful, and the service from Kostas was incredible — he took great care of us the entire time. For appetizers, we ordered the spanakopita and the calamari, and both were absolutely delicious. For our main course, we both had the roast lamb, which was an incredible blend of flavors. Everything was outstanding — 10 out of 10. We will definitely be coming back soon!
I was a first time customer and was amazed at the food quality and service. We will definitely be back again soon. The calamari platter was delicious and the pita bread… wow!! I’m craving it as I type this. Thanks again for an excellent experience!
