We use to go to this restaurant quite often I was in a smaller location. So, we decided to try the new location. The decor is nice but the atmosphere is rather loud. I understand we are in a Greek restaurant, but it was so loud we often had to write notes to each other to hear one another. The food is the same from the smaller location, but the prices are inflated to two times the cost. Not worth the extra money.
This was my second visit to Sotiris; the first time was with friends and we only came for drinks. I decided to bring my boyfriend along with me to try out the food. We were seated immediately, but our waitress did not come to our table for 15 minutes. She came to take our drink order, which we waited for an additional 10 minutes. Our food took 20 minutes to arrive. After giving us our meals, our server came back once to our table to ask us if she already brough us our appetizers. As I asked for another refill on my drink, she turned her back and walked away. I'm not sure if she was having a bad day or just very flustered, but she could have been more attentive. The food was ok; the spanakopita was excessively salty to the point where we couldn't finish the dish. The only saving grace were the potatoes in the lamb dinner, but that wasn't enough to save the meal.
My husband and I came here for dinner about half a year ago, and we are definitely coming back! The portions are very big, and we had plenty of leftovers. The inside of the restaurant is spacious and well decorated. Our Greek coffee was a little bit overpriced, but it greatly complemented our baklava. Excellent experience overall!
We've been going to Sotiris since they had their smaller restaurant. The theme with this place is to make you feel like you are in a european kitchen. Home like. That was how they started with their smaller restaurant (checkered blue table cloths and all). It felt like you were in a Greek kitchen. The newer place is much nicer and still has the open dining room experience with large long tables but loses that small mom and pop appeal. It is still noisy with everyone talking, but hey, have you ever BEEN to Greece? I have been to a few smaller greek places in oakville and hamilton and although I prefer the smaller ones, the food is by far better at Sotiris. So much in fact that we keep going back over and over again. Get the flaming cheese appetizer (saganaki) it is incredible. Overall, I think Sotiris is still the big dog when it comes to Greek food in the area!
Went for the first time on a Monday to try on recommendation. Not very busy, seated promptly. Ordered a bottle of wine and a platter for two so we could sample a variety of foods. Salad and garlic bread arrived quickly. Platter served in short order as well. Food was good but I found the greek salad a bit too oily for my taste. Server was attentive and checked our table regularily. All in all a pleasant dining experience
