My experience at tantalus was AMAZING! I enjoyed the food so much, the portions were great and very delicious. I got the Olympus plate and it had a little bit of everything!
The lemon soup was my family’s favorite and the saganaki cheese was so delicious.
The restaurant owner even gave us a dessert to accommodate for my nut allergy and was so kind! I will definitely be coming back soon! I recommend this restaurant for families!

Decided to check this place out on a bored Tuesday evening. Parking was decent.
There was one couple that left as we came in and one person doing take out and one more couple that came in when we were halfway through. Pretty slow for a Tue night.
We all ordered different dishes. The roast leg of lamb was basically meat pulled off some cut, probably leg but was expecting a single piece of lamb, not small pieces. Was just ok. Gyro looked good. Vegetarian moussaka was decent. Lamb shank again was just OK. The lentils soups that came with the dinner was the best tasting of all the items.
Unlikely to go back.

The only thing that saved from being one star because the food was good. The experience started off good, being greet when I walked in, the place seemed welcoming, we were only table for early dinner in the middle of the week. Pita bread with cheese hot plate was yummy. Salad with kabob meat was good. A friend has to leave so asked for separate bill. He was charging gratitude on all our bills, he got irritated when asked separate bills. We apologized for not telling him early. The price on the menu did not match the bill. He brushed me off by saying the machine charged for what it is. If that is the case, you need to fix the price on your menu. Someone came late, ordered Togo and decided to order a dessert, got charged for gratuity. It is a slow night, I guess he is charging for every dollar he can get. I like the food but not coming back.

Stopped by last Wednesday with a colleague after the Black Duck was packed, so we gave this place a shot, and I’m glad we did. The food was phenomenal. We each ordered an appetizer, a beer, and a main course, and everything exceeded our expectations. I make a point to try Mediterranean or Greek food wherever I travel, and this was hands-down my favorite so far. Service was a bit slow, but the dishes came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Well worth it.

Delicious! We shared a combination platter and it was more than enough for both of us. It’s came with a gyro, moussaka, dolmas, spanikopita, as well as veggies and potatoes with pita on the side. Everything was perfectly seasoned and very yummy.

I specifically picked this place for lunch with my friends after reading reviews and finding the menu interesting. We had vegetarians in our group, so finding so many vegan options on the menu was a blessing!
We started with a few appetizers- Houmos, Melitzano and Spanakopeta. We all unanimously loved Melitzano and Houmos. The pita bread that they served was warm, adding more flavour to these dishes. I wasn’t a fan of Spanakopeta but my vegetarian friend loved it.
For entrées, we ordered vegetarian mousaka and souvlaki garden. We were definitely feeling full right after appetizers, so we had a hard time finishing these entrées but otherwise would have enjoyed them too. Chicken in the salad was very well cooked; Mousaka was unique and the egg plant stuffing in it was very yummy.
It was raining during our lunch and we were sitting by the window trying these new dishes- all warm and freshly cooked. Bonus point: our waiter was very peppy and friendly too! So we definitely enjoyed the experience ❤️
TLDR; Melitzano was the highlight, HIGHLY RECOMMEND trying it!

We went in for a late lunch around 3pm. There are ample parking spaces available around. Restaurant had plenty of tables available. We ordered Chicken pesto and Olympus plate combination with soups on side and a Greek coffee.
Food:
Chicken pesto was fine however the chicken seemed like not seasoned enough, it could have little salt. The chicken skewers from Olympus plate were little rubbery, huge scope of making them more soft/ tender and juicier. One of the dolmades from this plate had a human hair wrapped in! Loved the coffee , soups were little sour for my taste. We decided we are not going here again.
Service:
The server was easy going but he should know the food that he is serving. We talked if Greek coffee had the cardamom notes in it or if the less salt in chicken was intentional, his answer for these questions was : “Another couple asked me the same question. I have no idea. I didn’t cook it.” When I pointed out the hair in Olympus plate he was gracious enough to acknowledge that and said he would discount that plate but in reality it was not discounted. Later when I mentioned about it, he gave us $2 discount in the new cheque. This hairy situation has happened to me before a few times and I have been always asked if they can replace the dish with non-hairy one or it has been completely deducted from the cheque or compensated with a complementary dessert. No such efforts were made here to rectify that bad experience. Bummer!
Ambience:
We could have eaten at any restaurant from Gilman village but the reason that we went inside this restaurant was it’s outside appearance. It has classic blue Greek look and cozy lights outside. The inside decor looks little rusty.

Came with a group of 6.
We had a dog with us and the server was very accommodating about moving tables together on the patio for us. That was the highlight of the experience.
Food was subpar and my wife had a hair in her food.
Soup was below average. Gyro was average. Other appetizers average.
Not sure if it was because we were a large party but the waiter wrote the tip onto the bill. He actually wrote it in. We won’t be going back.
Our waiter was friendly but it didn’t make up for the experience.
