Santorini Estiatorio

Absolutely amazing!! The service was fantastic, the staff were extremely nice, funny and knowledgeable - or server gave great recommendations and we were not disappointed. The food here, wow! phenomenal! Everything we had was done to its own perfection. Our table ordered the specials of the day, as well as grilled calamari, beet salad, and seafood pasta and everything was just so Good!! The entire restaurant is beautifully decorated- airy and bright, it's fairly large and it was packed, of course, but it felt like we were miles away from the next table. Loved!!

the starters grilled calamari and the white wine mussels are a must try. the bread was soft and the hummus was too garlicky. the main turned out average, lamb and the pork were a bit dry; chicken was a surprise very juicy, service was very attentive. the music too loud. sure will return try other dishes but not the lamb

I came here on the weekend with a group of 13-14 people for a surprise 40th birthday. The prices are a little pricey but reflected the quality of the food. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. They give complimentary bread and garlic spread/butter that was so tasteful that I filled up on it before my meal came. If you like calamari... definitely try it here. The dishes here are good for sharing.

Gorgeous restaurant. Good food. Excellent service. Great experience. Must go for Greek food. Nice collection of wines. Our server was Basilis. He was awesome. The manager Eftihia took care of us. Good seating. It was a fantastic experience!!! Will certainly go there again.

Came for my birthday and the food and service was great! The mussels were in a rich creamy feta sauce. The lamb loin special was tender with a nice sweet cherry sauce. The loukoumades were a nice finish to the meal. Definitely will come back.

What a great experience. We had Alexander as our server and he was fantastic!! Incredible service, amazing food and great ambiance & atmosphere. Felt like we were actually in Mykonos.

The environment is pleasant with a nice ambiance and well-designed walls, creating a comfortable dining experience. Positive Aspects: • The raw oysters and calamari are exceptionally tasty and well-prepared. Negative Aspects: • Many dishes are heavily loaded with vegetables, some of which have a slightly bitter taste, which might not appeal to everyone. • The food tends to be quite garlicky, which could be overwhelming for those who prefer milder flavors. • Eggplant is a dominant ingredient in most dishes, which may not be ideal for those who do not enjoy it. Overall, while the atmosphere and certain seafood dishes stand out, the strong use of garlic and eggplant-heavy menu might not suit all palates.

My wife and I went there today. The food was so-so for me. We had chicken, a seafood kebab, and some sampler dips. We love Greek food, and if I were to discount the price, I would give it a 3-star rating. However, for the price, I give it a 2. The chicken was chewy and the vegetables were super salty. The seafood kebab was decent. The atmosphere was nice, but I only gave it 3 stars because there were flies constantly flying near us. The service was decent, but for $70 per person, I expected better. Maybe it was an off day for them, but I wouldn't go back.

Since my mediocre experience a few years ago, we haven't revisited this restaurant until very recently when our neighbor wanted to gather here. Everything improved a lot since my first visit! The renovation was redone and it looked really nice with the plants decorations now. The menu has changed and food was so much better than before. Everything tasted greasy and heavy during our previous visit. This time we ordered grilled calamari and beet salad to share. For mains, we tried their lamb racks, souvlaki chicken and salmon. Everything was delicious with portion on the smaller side. I especially liked the lamb and the grilled calamari. The chicken and salmon were also not bad. I didn't enjoy the beet salad and the blueberry cheesecake coz they were super sweet. Overall, we enjoyed our recent dining experience here.

Hidden gem in Thornhill! This Greek restaurant is located inside a home within a shopping plaza. We came here for a late Valentine's dinner and were able to snag a reservation at 6pm. It was busy on a Friday night with no empty tables in sight, with the exception of two private rooms that I believe are reserved for family gatherings and such. The restaurant's interior was beautiful. We were seated near the table with a cherry blossom tree hanging over. As for the food, they bring out a fresh loaf of bread with a salmon spread that is so delicious! I think this was the highlight of the meal. We ordered the chicken souvlaki and lamb chops. The chicken souvlaki came with Greek salad which tasted pretty standard. The souvlaki came with lemon potatoes, veggies and tzatziki sauce. The chicken was on the drier side so needed to dip in the sauce. I found this dish was a bit too salty. The portions were quite generous though for the price and ended up taking leftovers. Our server was friendly and checked in on us frequently throughout our meal. Stellar service! I wouldn't coming back to try other items on the menu. A great spot for a dinner date or celebration with family!

My go to place for Greek food. Lamp chop & Octopus's are best in town and its wine selections are plenty but a tad pricey. Patio & outside sitting are fantastic during spring to falls and indoor seatings are best very romantic during winter... the service is always impeccable

Came here spontaneously. My boyfriend loves Greek food so I decided to surprise him to a fancy Greek meal. We ordered the Greek fries,pork souvlaki and rack of lamb. We got started off with complimentary bread, and I was amazed at how big the loaf of bread was. The rack of lamb was cooked to perfection however, the chicken was a bit dry but overall tasty. The Greek fries were good though. The service was attentive and the manager or owner came by every table to ask how the food were! Overall great food and cute decor and great service.

We came here on Saturday around mid afternoon for a birthday party, and we were surprised at how big inside the restaurant was. While we didn't stay inside, the decor inside is meant to mimic the Santorini experience overlooking the ocean. Outside, their patio was shaded by a tent, and there was plenty of spacing and tables available under shade. While it wasn't busy when we got there, the food was excellent and the ambiance great (inside and out). We started off with the appetizers - Kalamari, octopus, mussels, and the Greek salad. Bread was provided complimentary, served with a humus. All were fantastic, but I would say the mussels were the winner for us with its white wine sauce that was soaked up by the garlic bread it came with and the complimentary bread. Definitely a redo and could act as a main. For our actual mains, we had the garlic prawns and Australian lamb chops (done medium). Both were cooked to perfection and were seasoned well. I will say that portions of their dishes were a pleasant surprised and while the cost was high, you were definitely getting your money's worth. Service was great as well, as they were quite attentive and provided insight into the menu. Definitely a redo!

If you want to experience authentic Greek cuisine, you cannot miss out on this gem in Thornhill. Only 6 km away from North York, this beautiful Greek mansion opens into a spectacular internal terrace adorned with cherry blossom trees and classical Greek jars and vases. We had a family dinner there on a Sat afternoon, I ordered the classical Musaka dish which is a must to try if you're there. The oysters and the Italian wine were also the highlight of my experience. My kid loved the baklava ice-cream-very unique as well. And, the best impression of our visit to the restaurant was, of course, Alexandros! He made our day memorable and we will sure be back very soon! Pavlos, Adonis and Ilona

Are you looking for a nice grown-up spot, for delicious but 'normal' food? Santorini is for you! A beautiful, quaint and intimate place, that is charming and sophisticated. Great for dinner parties, work colleagues or date night. I've been here for lunch and dinner, and both meals are great here! Atmosphere is more relaxed at lunch, and then becomes more romantic at the dinner seating. I always order the moussaka but the fish is also aces.

Santorini Estiatorio is a hidden gem in Thornhill. Although it has been in the location for a long time, surprisingly it is my first time to visit this little Greek restaurant. The environment and decor is not something fancy, but very comfortable and local. We ordered mussel to start, then grilled seabass, lamb chop and seafood pasta. I should say all the entrée are very authentic. Also portion is large and price is reasonable. Lots of family gathering group at that night. I am a little disappointed on the Baklava. It is not as good as Myth downtown. The other dessert Baklava ice cream is very special, and I recommend this over the Baklava. Definitely worth a try in the area.

Came here for my birthday dinner a few weeks ago with 4 others, we ordered: Sourdough Bread and Garlic Spread (complimentary and SO good) Saganaki Fried Calamari Mussels Baby Back Ribs Chicken Souvlaki Dinner Australian Lamb Chops Seafood Pasta We didn't realize the saganaki was ours because the server stopped next to our table and lit it on fire so fast. We wanted to do a video but the fire was already out seconds after it was placed on thr table The saganaki itself was OK and a bit salty. Our favorites of the night were the fried calamari and seafood pasta followed by the mussels and lamb chops that were also very tender. However both the backribs and chicken souvlaki were dry and a bit hard. The atmosphere of the Restaurant is great with good music and we love all of the decorations especially the pink blossom tree and the wall art of Santorini!

We stumped upon this place by pure accident. Were hungry, called the place and even though it was almost closing time, they agreed to wait for us and keep the kitchen open. Our party of 9 were pleasantly surprised from ambience to all the dishes that we tried were authentic and tasted phenomenal. I didn't get a chance to take all the pictures of the food but from house baked bread to dips, octopus, saccommodating. meatballs, baklava ice cream, and amazing Greek coffee - everything was superb. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. Decor was always very pleasant and had a romantic atmosphere. Definitely a gem. Probably one of the tastiest Greek food I've tasted. Definitely recommend!

Food is excellent, so is service although it's on the pricey side. A good place for celebrations. Good parking.

This place is perfect. I have been to many Greek restaurants and this one is simply the best, hands down. Authentic food, beautiful ambiance. Every dish we tried was amazing. Fresh bread was impossible to resist - soft inside, crunchy outside. Saganaki cheese was big and fired up to perfection. Greek dips appetizer came with pita and yet again - amazing. Grilled calamari is the best I've ever had. Saganaki shrimp is finger licking good. Tomato based Sauce they use is full of flavors! You have to wrap things up with dessert and Greek coffee (which was prepared at the table). Baklava ice cream is my new all time favorite flavor. I have to add that interior is also picture perfect. I think this is one of the best dinning experiences by far!

Consistently great upscale Greek restaurant in the heart of Thornhill. I've been coming here with family and friends for years and we always enjoy the experience. Personally, I love the ribs - served smothered in barbeque sauce; or with an oregano rub, with barbeque sauce on the side for dipping. I prefer the latter, but that's just me. Other great bets are the saganaki (fried cheese that's flambeed tableside - opa!) and the grilled fish. Also, the lemon chicken soup appetizer is always delicious. You wouldn't expect to find such quality dining adjacent to a mall, yet here we are. Step inside and it feels like you're dining downtown. All in all, excellent food, service and ambiance.

Had a super delicious dinner with my family. Food is definitely on the pricier side but everything tastes really good. We personally liked the appetizers more than the mains. We especially liked the octopus and the grilled calamari the most. Service was also very good, our server was super helpful with recommending us to try several dishes. Overall, highly recommend but the prices are quite expensive.

Went to lunch here today with some good friends. This is the 2nd time I have been here and I must say, the food was outstanding. It was fresh and clean and very flavourful. We had some appetizers, namely the Saganaki, calamari and the 4 dip platter. Absolutely wonderful. For the main, we had the scampi, which was cooked to perfection. Dessert was of course baklava along with baklava ice cream, which was not too sweet at all, and that's a good thing. Service was impeccable, which is so important to me. The pricing is a little on the high side, but with COVID and all, still reasonable. Definitely recommend and will be back. Thank you.

The food... so fresh, seasoned exactly the right amount and sauced or oiled exactly the right amount. I've never had food this (relatively) healthy taste anywhere near as good. Portions were very solid, especially for a nice restaurant. Would highly recommend and plan to visit much more if I get the chance!

We tried this restaurant which I've never been to before but it's been around for 20+ years. When I first walked in I was like "Wow this place is so pretty"! Very clean. Tables spaced out very nicely. Staff was excellent. They start you off with some delicious bread with a scoop of garlicky hummus which was delicious. We ordered fried zucchini with tzatiki as an appetizer and it was very good. Unfortunately we ate half if it before I realized I had forgotten to take a picture. Our meals were absolutely delicious but I do have one very small negative comment and that is that there was quite a bit of oil on the bottom of my plate. Unfortunately I don't like my food drenched in oil and there was quite a bit of it. Still it was delicious. We also got fried honey balls with chocolate and caramel sauce and ice cream and it was the perfect ending to our meal. Got quite a bit, enough for 4 to share. I highly recommend you try this gem of a restaurant. I will definitely go back!

We waited 1 1/2 hrs to get our food. The server basically ignored us and did not apologize for the extremely long wait, no complimentary desert offered. Even after we asked for the bill that took half an hour. The dips were disappointing and hardly any pita bread to eat them with. Main courses were fine but small portions. Very disappointing evening all around.

I needed to find a place that my friend and I could go to chat, nibble and have a glass of wine. We had a lot of catching up to do after all this Covid lockdown. We made reservations and upon arrival we were greeted and seated very quickly. We sat on the outdoor patio. Menus, cold water and bread with a hummus spread were placed on the table. It took us a long time to order because we were so busy trying to chat and catch up. The staff were very cheerful and attentive. We finally ordered fried calamari and saganaki along with wine. We took our time chatted, nibbled, and sipped our drinks. The service was excellent and we left feeling very pleased. I would go back again. OPA

The staff were so kind and did everything possible to make my dad's 90th birthday special. The set event menu was delicious and offered wonderful selections for the main course. Pretty restaurant. Private dining rooms. Delicious food. Friendly, professional staff. We got dad in with his wheelchair through the patio entrance. Bathrooms aren't accessible. This restaurant never disappoints!

Anniversary dinner on October 20, 2021 at Santorini, the Greek restaurant where my husband and I had our wedding ceremony and dinner on Saturday, October 20, 2012. I had a side salad and moussaka. My husband had Avgolemeno soup and the salmon entrée. Truly delicious food, good service, delightful décor... two thumbs up!

Had not been here in 5 years because the food wasn't good back then. We thought we'd give it another attempt and were sadly disappointed again. They messed up on one of the four entrees we ordered and wanted to quickly make a new entree while the rest ate theirs. We decided just to take what they had served. Then I had to send my Moussaka back as the middle was cold. The chicken souvlakis were very salty and moussaka was old and microwaved. For the prices they charge, this was all unacceptable. Also, they could have done something for the wrong order and serving cold food. My family will not be returning again.

3 years ago I've ranted and raved about the place. Unfortunately, this once great place seems to be on it's way to become another victim of the pandemic - the takeout (a substantial quantity of) was simply awful - never again.

Tried it for the first time recently. One of the better Greek foods we had in the area. Recommend it.

This is a very good choice Greek restaurant in Thronhill area. It's been the same location for long time, I recently visited for lunch, very comfortable and relax environment with Mediterranean decor! They cooked high quality and authentic foods, people there are very happy to explain their menu, and you'll feel very welcoming. Definitely will return

Nov 2019- went again with family. The decor changed to more Greek modern punk and the food still amazing One thing is the waiters seem to rush you... not to leave but to give them the order ... if u tell them to come back they will They don't have a kids menu however they will suggest ideas Our kids had lamb chops with fries

Surprisingly, one of the best Greek restaurants in the GTA is not in the Danforth but all the way in Markham. You enter Santorini and are immediately hooked with it's whites and blues and curved lines and sunken seating areas - all of which transport you to Greece. Service was a bit slow and curt, but then you get to the food and you forget your impatience. Because the food was really good - Santorini reminds you what Greek food is supposed to taste like when done properly. We had: - (Free) bread came with a really yummy salmon dip. We were going to order the dips they had on the menu but this was good enough. - Halloumi cheese with fig spread and diced tomatoes: The halloumi was nice and firm, though some people may find it a bit rubbery. The fig paired perfectly with it - I ended up just rolling the cheese over and over again into the spread. - Octopus appetizer: The octopus had just the right level of saltiness and was chopped into small pieces which made it good for sharing. The surprising star of the dish though was the bed of mushed eggplant that the octopus was on. - Grilled calamari: We got this for our main and it was a big enough serving for 2. I know many people here have reviewed the calamari though I think most have got it deep fried. Definitely try it grilled - done so well it melts in your mouth. And the red cabbage they pair it with has a sweetness that contrasts the 'milkiness' of the calamari and perks up the dish. - Truffle chocolate with devil's cake: Standard tasting, which was a bit of a letdown compared to the rest of the meal. We asked if they offered homemade Greek yogurt and sadly they have discontinued it. I know you may find it a bit weird to head to Markham for a good Greek meal (vs downtown Toronto or to the Danforth). Put the biases aside and head over to Santorini - it's definitely worth the trip.

We were craving Greek food, and so I yelped for one, and Santorini Grill popped up and off we went. First off: looks are deceiving -- the outside does not even begin to tell you how elegant it is inside the restaurant! We got the chance to walk through before heading out to the patio. The outdoor seating is very nice (and I am assuming even more so when the sun sets). A waiter greeted us immediately, and provided us with menus. We ordered soon afterwards and then were given bread, hummus and other snacks (complimentary). So our food arrived and while it tasted good, I honestly could not process how it could be priced so high (especially when I compare it to the establishments on the Danforth). I don't mind paying more, but when I do, I would expect it to show through the quality of the food, but I was disappointed. The grilled calamari tasted bitter (because of the grilling -- but not sure why it would taste bitter), the pork souvlaki was nothing spectacular, but my husband did like their Chicken Supreme -- but again, not for its price. I know this place has gotten rave reviews, but if you good value for your money, it is worth the trek to the Danforth.

Pretty good Greek food, the best I've had in Markham. Very nice wine list, with many excellent choices, including some little know Greek options. Very nice decor - traditionally inspired but cleanly modern. Very good service, friendly and professional. My favourite dish was the grilled calamari - properly cooked, simple delicious presentation. I also enjoyed the shrimp saganaki - large, juicy shrimp in a tasty tomato-cheese sauce. The octopus was a disappointment - mushy and served on curried beans which was not indicated on the menu, as was their version of taramasalada - more of a flavoured bread paste, but the mussels saganaki was pretty good - a mussels version of the shrimp dish. Some other dishes our group enjoyed were the chicken supreme, the saganaki, the beet salad, and the pork souvlaki. The prices are not cheap, but the food is good, and some dishes are outstanding.

I really hate leaving negative reviews but I feel I have to share my experience here. Despite the many positive reviews on this place, I came here with my coworkers for a farewell lunch and was left horribly disappointed. First, the good stuff: The restaurant is nicely decorated and looks nice inside. The bread they give out is excellent and tastes freshly baked. Same goes with the pita bread with the platter of dips. Now the bad: Service was extremely slow and the wait staff can't seem to handle group checks properly. Yes, I understand that it might take a minute or two longer to enter everything for separate checks, but that's no excuse for the food to take more than an hour to come and the attitude given to us when we inquired about the food wait time. What really did the meal in was my calamari dish. After waiting 1.5 hours for this, I found a packaging plastic film that was grilled along with the calamari! Absolutely disgusting and a health hazard! The portion was also pathetic for a $27 (!) dish. At this point we didn't even bother notifying the restaurant/server because we came here at noon and got my food at 2pm, and also partly not wanting my coworker to have a bad memory of this last group meal together. And based on the server's attitude it was unlikely he would have done anything (even if he does, are we really going to wait another hour for a new dish?) Not recommended

Been a regular customer to this place for Over 15 years now. One of the best Greek food spots in town, always great food, great service and atmosphere. It's definitely not your casual gyro stop, it's a fine dining establishment, on the higher end side when it comes to Quality, Prices and service. The Saganaki Appetizer is a definite recommendation, I can't even remember a single visit where I did not order at least two of these. Kalamari, and Octopus are always great and fresh.. Their lamb souvlaki, Shrimp, Sea bass and Salmon are always great options. The place can also be reserved for private parties, spent a new years party here few years back, which was a night to remember with great food and drinks. Highly recommended!

I was in the Thornhill area and the kids wanted Greek food, specifically Gyros. After a quick Yelp search, Santorini popped up as the closest place, and had a 4 star rating. We made our way to find out that Santorini is a stand alone restaurant from a converted house. I suspect that the place used to be the residence of farmers, and the farmland had been paved over. A parking lot and strip mall surrounds the home converted restaurant. The structure was maintained and the interior updated. Hues of blue and white splashed on the walls to give that picturesque ideal of Greece with white homes with blue tops. The decor a mix of old and new. Clean white linens and an open concept dining area mixed with the old structural charm of the house. Windows round the one side overlooking the outdoor patio dining area, and the parking lot beyond that. Santorini is an island off the Greece coast, and when I was there way back in 2003, I had the best Gyro of my entire life! (no joke), and it was the cheapest meal we had to boot! So naturally, that's what came to mind when I saw the place on Yelp. After we were seated, It was a complete 180 for me. The menu had authentic Greek dish, much like KouTouki Greek Cuisine (Niagara Falls) with Lamb Shanks, Beef, Steak, Chicken, Seafood, Grape Leaves, Moussaka, etc. And like KouTouki, they did not serve Gyros. I guess it's considered a poor man's meal, and this place just wasn't for the poor man. The prices were on the upper end of $$. We ordered some Cheese Saganaki to start, a Pork Souvlaki dinner, Grilled Sea Bass, Kleftiko, and Shrimp Giouvetsi. While awaiting our meals, we were served some fresh bread with butter. We were quite hungry at this point, and the bread seemed to have hit the spot in quelling in pangs. The bread has a good crust on it. Not too hard, and not too thick. The bread was soft on the inside, but not so soft that the butter would tear it. 4 stars. Kefalotyri Saganaki. Saganaki actually refers to the vessel in which the dish served in and not the type of cheese. In Santorini, Cheese is seared in the saganaki and served on a plate; it's rectangular shape is kept, and the cheese remains firm. The cheese is ever so lightly battered with flour before searing. The most common of these semi-soft cheeses (sheep's milk) are Kasseri, Kefalograviera, or Kefalotyri (all are ~$13/lb). In North America, we add showmanship to the dish and flambé it with ouzo (anise aperatif) or metaxa (Greek brandy). The dish is finished off with fresh squeezed lemon juice to help douse the flames. The result is a seared outside and melted inside. I'm definitely a fan of the N.A. version over the Greek one, not because of the show, but because I prefer ooey gooey goodness. 5 stars. Pork Souvlaki. I thought it would be juicier than chicken (same price), but it wasn't. The control of the flame grilling could have been better. The outside dried out to get it cooked to order (medium). 2,5 stars. Mixed Baby Greens salad. This came with the pork souvlaki and the veggies were fresh. The dressing was a house Greek vinaigrette and was very flavourful. 4 stars. Grilled Sea Bass. I was actually expecting more from this dish. It was cooked thoroughly, but sea bass is a pretty lean fish, so flavouring and cooking is key, and here I think they came up short. The dish came with steamed veggies whose flavours were also lacking. Like most places the veggies were also overcooked and slightly mushy. 2,5 stars. Kleftiko. Cubes of lamb wrapped in grape leaves wrapped in filo. The filo was crispy on outside, but signs showed signs of softening. The lamb was diced into small pieces and there was very subtle gaminess in the meat. The sauce was a gravy of sorts and on par. Grilled tomatoes, broasted potatoes, and asparagus finished the dish. The tomatoes had nice grill marks, but came at the cost of over cooking them. The asparagus was steamed but should have been grilled as they're more resilient to the heat. Overall the dish was just OK. 3 stars. Shrimp Giouvetsi. Grilled butterflied shrimp. They were the 26-30 ct. size so 6 pieces provided roughly a quarter pound. They were grilled nicely and not overcooked. 3-stars. The rice looked better than it was. There was not much flavour and it was a on the mushy side. 2 stars. The veggies were similar to those that came with the fish (tomato had nice grille marks but overcooked, and the asparagus was once again steamed when grilled would have been better.) Overall 2,5 stars. From a price point, they were very similar to KouTouki, perhaps a smidgen higher even, and the food was not as good. Does it pass for authentic, I would say so. Does it pass for decent? Sure, some dishes do, but their prices don't. Once again, I seem to be going against the grain based on my rating, as only some elements of each dish was executed well. Overall 3 stars. If you would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company... Bon Appétit!

Great food and service! I go back when ever I can. Wonderful Greek food. The grilled calamari, saganaki and horiatiki salad is amazing.

Loved the decor and ambiance. Cute place for a date. Food came in huge portions, and the service was good. Really enjoyed the bread and bean salad that came before our meal. Wasn't very hungry so I ordered the mussels off the appetizer menu. It was very rich, and came deshelled in a bowl--I'm not used to that, but I liked it! Less hassle and lots of mussels. Would definitely come again.

It was fine but definitely overpriced for what we got. I came here with a group of 16 people and they seemed very unprepared. Never a great sign when they take you to the wrong table, appear confused when you inform them of their error and then they speak to each other in Greek before telling you to wait. Only 1 waiter for 16 people, took forever to get anything, someone had to ask specifically to get some bread served at the table. The food was rather mediocre, I had the lamb chops, definitely got a good number but they weren't very flavourful, definitely some I could have made at home. The butterfly shrimp were also rather tasteless. That said, the place certainly looks nice and the staff were friendly, never rude. Overall, too expensive for what you got, and the others I went with agree, we won't be going back.

Amazing place! Great service Lobster pasta (special of the day) was amazing..... Calamares melted in your mouth! Recommended to make reservation!

Santorini Grill is now my to go to Greek restaurant for uptown... This restaurant is huge... It is a Summer House that is built 1858 over 150 years ago..and Santorini Grill has done a marvellous job to converted that into a nice charming restaurant. The inside is modern and cozy... and there are a lot of separate section of private ares that you can host a private party.. or in the Summer the huge patio..or in the main dining area with skylight and big windows... Santorini Grill maybe the place that converted me to become a lamb lover... Lamb Souvlaki on Pita Bread ($14) - Cooked Medium is nice and tender.. and well seasoned.... - Pita Bread Soft and Fluffy - Mixed Salad has the perfect dressing and oh so good Feta cheese I will be back again.... For the food and the ambiance... I don't believe now I start having craving for lamb!!

Called to ask a couple questions about the restaurant due to covid restrictions. Woman who answered the phone was very rude. I wouldn't visit this restaurant despite the good reviews and good menu. Would rather spend my money at an establishment that understands good customer service.

I tried Santorini Grill on recommendation from a friend. Let me start off by saying, this is not like Mr Greek or any of those types of franchises. As I understand it, their cuisine is more authentic to the type of food one would experience in Santorini. It's on the pricey side---but I must say. The service and food quality was great. (They have a lunch menu on weekdays that I'd really like to try, which is considerably cheaper) The restaurant has its own parking area. Which was so helpful considering how busy the mall it's in is! A parking guard came by to check I was really a restaurant patron when I exited my car. They start you with an excellent bread with hummus and a bean salad. I really enjoyed this. The bread was hot and artisanal. We all enjoyed it with the hummus. I ordered the taramosalata to start. It is just the spread and does not come with pita. You eat it with the starter bread, but they will bring you as much bread as you like. I can honestly say it was the most delicious taramosalata I have ever had. It was also a very generous serving. I took whatever was left of it and the bread home...it was too good to leave behind! I ordered the fried calamari dinner, which came with spanakorizo (a rice with spinach) and veggies including carrots, green beans and a most delicious pickled red cabbage. This dish was amazing. The calamari was perfectly cooked, the tzatziki was thick and strong (in a good way) and the sides were very good. My friend ordered Chicken Supreme which came with roasted potatoes and veggies, and absolutely loved her dish. She just raved about it. We were very happy with our meals and the service. We were far too full to try any dessert. While I enjoyed the food and service I can only give four stars. I did find the food quite overpriced. I definitely would like to go back one day for lunch to try some of their other dishes.

Came here with a friend tonight and I was hoping for an awesome Greek meal. The menu selections sounded appetizing enough but I guess I set my bar just a bit too high. First impression of the place was that it was kept clean. Check. We sat down and the server seemed friendly......at first. We notified our server that my friend had several allergies and if any of the food could be made without it, that would be great. Because of her gluten allergy, we wanted to switch out the orzo in a dish she wanted for a side of salad. We had no trouble paying extra however our server kept insisting that orzo was not made of flour....... at this point, I was absolutely sure he had no idea what orzo was... He looked about in his mid-late 40s, yet he still had absolutely no idea what each dish was made of. Now before judging me for pointing this out, I have worked in the restaurant business for over 10 years and I am almost half his age. I have never worked as a cook but when I first started out at any place, I would educate myself and take note of how each dish was prepared or ask the head chef what would be in dishes that may contain certain allergens so I could explain to customers when and if they had any concerns. So, our server goes on to ask the kitchen to double check and this takes about 15-20 minutes. Mind you, the place was not particularly packed when we came in. He comes back and takes our order seeming a little annoyed at this point as he found out orzo was made with flour. We ended up ordering a bottle of water, mussels as a shared appetizer and 2 main courses. The mussels came first... and.......... BOYYYY were those were the saddest mussels I've ever seen. They were super tiny (about the width of a quarter) and extremely shrivelled up and had no meat to them. These were hands down the worst ones available on the market.. Some of them weren't even fresh and had an off smell to them. Other than that, the sauce was actually pretty well seasoned. If I knew I was wasting $15 on something like that, I would've been willing to pay more to go to Diana's or Rodney's. After that mishap, I really hoped for the mains to redeem itself. I ordered the Shrimp Giouvetsi. I would describe this dish like a person that was physically attractive but lacked depth in character. Shrimps were prepared nicely, a little over cooked but still acceptable. Frozen, unprepared shrimps are already slightly briny but should still have a delicate umami flavour to them-- So the overly salted heaviness of the garlic butter that sat on top of the shrimps did them no justice. Firstly, the garlic flavour was not really there. Secondly, a bit of acidity to the sides (other than the plain lemon wedge) would have nicely juxtaposed the shrimps... Or they could have done a garlic butter that was lightly infused with either dill or coriander seeds. However, barely any hints of oregano, thyme, basil, dill, fennel seeds or any of the other typical Greek spices that are used to season the dish was not present. Tldr; Beautiful tiger shrimps, poor execution. Aside from that, it seemed like our server wasn't really paying much attention to us as we were dressed casually and not in business attire like some of the other customers. Trying to ignore all this, my friend and I still had a good conversation going but we soon asked for the bill. When the bill came and I paid in cash... Our server asked the one question that HAD ALWAYS BEEN MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE AND SHOULD NEVER BE ASKED... "Do you need change?". THE RULE OF THUMB OF WHEN YOU WORK IN THIS LINE OF BUSINESS IS TO JUST RETURN CHANGE UNLESS TOLD OTHERWISE. If you did a good job, you would get a good tip regardless. If you didn't, please reflect on why that was so..... On a bill that was a little less than $90, I put down $120. Just for asking that question, I told the server that if he could break what he could that would be fine. But guess what.. with all the tips he collected, he couldn't break a 20. He said he only had a 5...If you are a server, you should bring at least 35 dollars in small bills for the night. So instead of waiting for another 15-20 minutes for him to "remember to grab change" for us.. like how he would "grab lemons or limes for my water"(which never happened), I left him with more than a 35% tip after tax for sub-par service and food that left me feeling quite unsatisfied. To make myself feel better, I'll consider this time as a charity case. Some may label this place as "classy" or "fine-dining" but being at the price range that it's at and the image it is trying to put out-- The dishes and service surely fell short of my expectations. There are much better Greek restaurants around the same price point with much better service like Estiatorio Volos. In fact, I would've been willing to spend even more on any other restaurant if the food and service was up to par... Overall, disappointment was present left, right and centre. THANK YOU, NEXT!

Nice place, the decor looks really fancy. The sea bass and the saganaki was delicious. The steak was just ok.

We made a reservation for 6:30pm on a Thursday to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. Not so busy upon arrival, which had us seated immediately. The waiter was quick to ask for our drink selection. As we waited, bread with dip and beans were served. By the time he came back, we had decided on what to order for dinner; we chose the "Dinner for 2" at seventy-five dollars. Shortly after he left, our fairly large Greek salads were delivered. The dressing was perfect, not too sharp or drenching, and they weren't frugal with the feta cheese. The main meal was astronomical! We couldn't finish, but we ordered dessert anyway . Service, ambiance, food, price and location was perfect! Will definitely come again.

Came here with my significant other for her bday. Very nice place, nicely decorated and has a romantic setting. Service was great. Bread was good and came with some nice condiments (when was the last time you had a great bread experience?). Ordered a steak and a lamb. Steak was great and cooked close to the temperature we asked for, a bit more well than I'd like but still good. The rack of lamb was a bit overdone with some charring outside so almost perfect. This place has got more expensive over the years so I think the $$ yelp gives it needs to be updated with another $. Pretty busy for a Thursday evening, overall a great experience.

Came here in the afternoon. Ordered the greek beer, saganaki appetizer (fried cheese), octopus pita with greek salad, and fried calamari dinner. I never had saganaki in Canada, but I have had it in Athens, Greece and so I was left a little disappointed, as it wasn't crispy and more just soggy and just really really greasy, but maybe they do it differently in Santorini Greece I really don't know. The saganaki tastes ok, just not what I expected. The octopus pita with greek salad was very good. The octopus was very very tender, highly recommended. Even the greek salad was done better than most places. The fried calamari dinner was delicious as well. Ambience was nice with white walls and portraits of Santorini Greece and a fountain in the centre, a little bit of flies but I guess it may be hard to avoid with the warm weather and opening and closing of doors otherwise it would have been perfect . Everything besides the saganaki in my opinion was just mouthwatering and so delicious definitely one of the better Greek restaurants in Toronto and GTA area.

We went to Santorini to celebrate my birthday. Loved the place and the food. I ordered feta shrimp appetizer and grilled calamari and my husband ordered spanakopita and fillet mignon steak. Everything was cooked to perfection and the service was quick and friendly. Speaking of wine, we don't know Greek wines, so we followed waiter's recommendation and ordered a bottle of Mega Spileo red wine. The wine was excellent, we liked it so much that we tried to order it at LCBO, but unfortunately, you can't get it there. Overall, we had a great time in Santorini and will certainly be back.

Overall experience: 6.5/10 Food: 7.5/10 Atmosphere: 7.5/10 Service: 5.5/10 Full context - we sat on the patio so commentary on the atmosphere is not reflective of the restaurant's inside. There was nothing wrong with the experience until the end. The food was good/fine, though I would say that this place is crazy expensive considering what they are offering ($26 for a souvlaki plate which, if you look at the photos, includes 1 stick of meat, a tiny portion of rice and 3 pieces of vegetables?!). I didn't finish my meal and when the server was putting the remainder into a takeout container, I noticed he did not put the tzatziki in. So, I asked if he could give me some extra to take away. My friends and I are chatting for a bit after this, to the point when the server's shift had ended. He left without letting us know, which forced us to go inside and ask for the bill ourselves. That's when I see the note on the bill: Extra tzatziki - $4 As an established Greek restaurant, I expect the kitchen is swimming in this, so it seems a bit crazy to me that they would charge, and beyond that, not let the customer know of this charge! Take it as you will, but I found the end of the meal ruined the otherwise normal experience. THE BOTTOM LINE: be ready to pay a lot for an otherwise underwhelming and disappointing Greek restaurant experience.

Go here once In a while for a date night, or to enjoy the patio in the summer. Serving staff are very attentive. Food is excellent, it's a bit pricey, but paying for good service and good food comes at a price. My favourite thing to order every time is the dip appetizer, then of course a different main course each time. It's all just so yummy! $7 for a bottle of flat water seems a little extreme though lol.

The food quality is great! Yummy Greek cousin. The atmosphere is very nice and friendly. You don't feel the noise because the table spaces are nice and far enough. Though the prices are a little too high specially on drinks. 2 cups of wine costed me 35$ once!

Had my birthday dinner at Santorini Grill last week. The restaurant is in an old farmhouse that was moved from somewhere on Bayview to its current location. It's quite nice inside! Service was above and beyond. Reasonable prices for very generous portions. I would even recommend for you to share a main entree and order some apps. Heaps of parking as it's in a plaza. A solid four star !

Brought my honey to had their signature dish lamp chops. It was delicious. The Beet salad and the dips was yummy. Seem the receptionist doesn't check available table regularly. Right after she told us waiting time 30 mins. I asked her availability at patio? Then she checked.
