Good club sandwich that tasted like real, not canned, roasted turkey.
Great food and friendly staff. We always enjoy it and their menu selection means that is something for pretty much everyone.
I have eaten inside a few times but tonight we decided on take out. My son got the kids hamburger meal (homemade and delicious) which included fries and rice pudding. I got the Greek platter with moussaka / chicken souvlaki, rice, and greek salad. Everything was soo fresh and delicious. I will be back again and again. I actually had enough for a whole other meal tomorrow!
Food was very good, burger was cooked just right, french fries with the gravy great and food was hot when we recieved, my grandson said the grilled cheese sandwich was good a souvlaki dinner with lemon potatoes, a souvlaki wrap, and a chicken soulvaki with rice, the server Marlene was at the top of her game, good sence of humour, very pleasant, overall very impressed with resturant, will not hesitate to go back and highly recommend it
Such a great experience! Received a warm welcome from the moment we walked in and had excellent service the entire time. We ordered the Eggs Benedict, Fried Calamari and Fish & Chips (Three Pieces) The Eggs and Calamari were great but the star was the Fish & Chips! They were huge! Remarkable fish to batter ratio and very nice texture.
Hard pass on the breakfast next time for me. Walked into the restaurant to be immediately greeted with the door closer hanging off the frame. Was seated fairly promptly and ordered a bacon & feta omelet with a poutine hollandaise home fries with toast and wife ordered a Mediterranean Benny. Daughter ordered a waffle with bacon. While the restaurant was practically empty the food took forever and the server never really came back to see if we wanted our beverages topped off. The other server looked over in what appeared to be concern but didn’t really assist the matter. We finally get our food and the wife’s Benny looked quite paltry compared to similar restaurants Benny meals. Perhaps it was the small eggs and the micro hash browns but our portions in general were on the verge of being below average. My meal had to be sent back as the poutine did not appear on my plate. 7 minutes later my food reappeared as everyone else finished their food. I found it extremely odd that it took that long just to put cheese on the home fries. The hollandaise itself was tasty. The omelet was more of a mixed western with bacon and feta but it didn’t quite taste like the feta I’m used to. At his point I didn’t really care too much over the entire experience as I was starving. Sorry forgot to take a photo as I was ravenous by that point. Daughter received a decent waffle with a side plate of bacon (again kind of odd not to be on the same plate but not the end of the world). We were packing up waiting for the bill when the waitress recalled she had to bring jello for the daughter but decided it was a to go thing instead of giving it to her with her meal. Then forgot the spoon. Kind of unfortunate. So sadly the entire first time experience pulled my mood down and is reflected in my review. Perhaps I may try the seafood lunch/dinner but right not I’m disappointed enough that I may not just bother. We had tried to get into this place one other time and the waitress tried to shove us into a tight corner where neither my wife or I could even get between the table and the chair so we walked out.
So glad to be able to eat at Palladium again! I had the Eggs Benny Poutine, it was ooey, gooey, tasty and filling. The hollandaise lasted til the very last home fry was dipped and there was a lovely mess to sop up with my toast. It was everything I wanted it to be. Hubby had the Clubhouse with Fries. His sandwich was full of fresh roasted shredded turkey and fixings the fries were hot and crispy. We devoured our brunch! The service was perfect. Our server was very pleasant and always smiling.
We came across this place by chance for breakfast while my mom and Grandma were visiting. All wait staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful! We all enjoyed our breakfast - we each had something different and all dishes were delicious! Really great feel, comfortable, spacious. Eggs Benedict was so good we would drive back to have it again, and we live nearly half hour away!
Great homestyle food. Great staff. Good parking. Great lasanga and chicken slovaki
Fernando and his staff have a great establishment here. The food, the friendly staff and atmosphere are always amazing!
Greek food is the best there
Food is sub par for the cost. Very outdated atmosphere. Wont be going again.
Great desert
Never again. Not family friendly. The owner talks to you like a child and doesnt care about anything you have to say. I do not recommend.
I have eaten here before and the food was good. I had their fish and chips. The food was put on a small plate making it difficult to cut up the piece of fish. The desert was good. Hot apple pie and ice cream.
My first visit to this restaurant was completely horrible. Waited over an hour for my meal. The food tasted like it was refrigerated and reheated from the night before. Beverages are tasteless and watered down. The owner Fernando took an attitude with me when I complained not family friendly at all
Lady totally ignored me after seating me waited over 10 minutes for my drink I was the only one in there But the food was great just the service was terrible
The food we ordered today was excellent. Fish cooked to perfection and chicken very tender and delicious. I will be going back for sure . Food : 5/5
Disappointed.
Best fish and chips in Dartmouth
The food is ok at best but the conditions of the restaurant are in need of repairs pretty neglected rips in the seats held together with tape the worst experience was my waitress poor service not friendly and the absolute worst part was the body odour it was extremely overwhelming the last thing you want to smell while trying to enjoy a meal personal hygiene should be discussed with this lady.
Friendly staff, great moussaka, pleasant atmosphere
Whole clams - delicious- we keep coming back for them - update - just came back in 2022 from Ontario. So good. Still worth it Summer 2024
Food is terrible, service is even worse, and prices aren t very good. Was rushed out even though it was practically empty, not many people there and still the waiter was itching for us to be gone. Horrible.
We ordered 2 sandwiches. Neither were the ones we ordered and one came with no top. How can you mess up something so simple. Don t waste your money.
Fantastic place , the food its very great a must to go try it .
Great family run business! Lots of options, always fast and friendly.Its a local gem!
The evening guy staff is too rude, please avoid this guy in this restaurant
Rude staff I never seen this types o staff before Food
Totally disappointing service from the stuff as if they aren t really into the service, somebody just forcing them to be there. Never gonna be back there. Food
Been several times to this place and always enjoyed the food, a fav used to be their fish n chips, not anymore since they changed their recipe to accommodate others. It was extremely greasy and not as good as it used to be...no more fish n chips from there for me.
Staff behaviour and greeter behaviour was not good.
The food is amazing and the staff are even more amazing. You wont be disappointed. Thats a guarantee
Our food and coffee was hot and tasty. Service was friendly and fast (thank you Marlene!). Very nice atmosphere.
It s always so delicious that you forget to take a photo for your review!
The food was great. Delicious big breakfast
I walked in to order take-out, a delivery driver came in after me and they waited on him, without even acknowledging me. Extremely rude!!!! I left without ordering, because obviously my business isnt needed. Service
Hot hamburger sandwich had chicken/turkey gravy, fries cold.
The food is always great. I love the lemon potatoes. An overall great place to eat.
Good food and friendly service
I don t know about the food but front counter ladies attitude is really bad. They even don t know how to greet someone. From next time I don t think so I will pick up the order from this restaurant.
I cant believe I drive by this amazing spot so many years. Finally went in, and now it will be my to-go spot. Great service and the food is amazingly delicious. Every bite had me going yummm. Definitely recommend and will go back soon. Food
Delicious food. Our waitress was so incredibly kind. She gave my diabetic kiddo the option of grilled tomatoes instead of bread, which she loved.
The food and service are excellent, but I wish theyd lean more into their Greek stuff. Also, no Greek wines.
OMG... Pleasantly surprised! Hubby and I were looking for somewhere new to try for supper out tonight. Id read some great reviews about Palladium, but for some reason I was still hesitant. I had a look at their Greek menu and again, still hesitant. Ela is our go- to for Greek food. But, we decided to give them a chance. Sooooo glad we did! Palladium is my new spot for Greek food. I got the Greek platter, which I was already unsure about due to the moussaka being included... Could I get past an eggplant/ zucchini based food? Lets go for it, I said. It was amazing! Possibly one of my new favorite foods! And the chicken! Ive never had chicken that tender! And the portion size! I have more than enough left over for lunch tomorrow. I truly cannot say enough good about this place. Im sad that it took us til now to try it. But we will definitely be back! Oh! Hubby had the haddock tips - super fresh and huge portion! Oh! And our server, she was so friendly... Everyone welcomed us as we came in, and everyone wished us a good evening as we left. I wish I could give this place 10 stars!
Good food, good people, quiet just the way we like it.
Its annoying when people dont keep their kids from screeching.
We dont eat out very often but do enjoy the occasional late breakfast/brunch after church.
Ok local place. Good old fashioned breakfast.
Youve never had eggs Benedict like they make them here! Try the eggs Benedict poutine, you wont be disappointed
Ive been coming to this place for years love the food and good service
Mouse ran out from under our table to have a look around!
Love this place!
Clean restaurant.. server was nice. Food was horrible for all 3 .. I had the special Marco tortellini with chicken.. tasted like Lipton cup of soup gluey texture .. garlic bread was burned .. another had steak and eggs.. asked for rare.. came out medium well.. huge piece of fat on steak.. knife wouldnt even cut it..last was fish n chips,, huge long hair in fries had an appetizer that was ok and best part of meal.. maybe the greek menu is better but wont be back to try it out ..
Friendly Greeting Staff , atmosphere clean , seafood (fish&chips were good. AA Stirlion steak was alright, but Gravy and onions n mushrooms presentation wasnt tasty.
Food was very good and friendly staff
Love it Parking: Lots Food : 5/5 |
Kid-friendliness: Kids meals were big my daughter had to bring it home she got full .... good portion for child for sure Food
Best breakfast and coffee in town (served to 4pm which is perfect for some of us like myself who doesnt eat breakfast until early afternoon)..... They consistently serve up some of the best meals in town and the prices are very reasonable. My wife and I often share the seafood platter when we go out for dinner or lunch (which is fantastic btw....) highly recommend... Parking: Plenty of parking space Kid-friendliness: often see kids sports teams eating there
Good food and good service
Server was not great. My food was a soggy mess. My sister loved hers. I would not go back. Took forever to get our bill, no in between checking on us. Was not a good experience
Ordered the Clams and Chips last week during my visit, great size plate, food was hot, and the overall meal was as expected.
We got wings to start they only had BBQ sauce and honey garlic no hot sauce the wings could of been cooked for another 2to3 minutes I ordered the striploin it was supposed to be 8oz it wasnt a striplion I no my steak it was a sirloin cut to look like the shape of a striplion I asked for med and asked the waitress if the blood would be coming out of it cooked medium she gave me the yes look so I told her I like it with a bit of pink just a bit rear so I got it medium well it was well-done no fat and alot of grizzel and no taste it was bad not what I asked for by a long shot mashed potatoes were just warm first and last time for me. Parking: It was good parking for wheelchair assability and regular parking.
Our third disappointing visit in a row now took an hour to get our meal again. It just isn t what it was before Covid. I want to continue supporting local, but I think we ll wait a while before returning.
First time there and loved it
Great experience. 11 of us Celebrating a birthday . Yummy food, large servings (leftover lunch yay) & great service from Marlene
The food wasnt good it wasnt prepared the way I asked for it there was no taste it was not for me or my wife
Marlene is awesome.. best waitress weve ever had.. 11 yrs we have been going there. Always leave stuffed and happy
One of the standard restaurants in the Cole Harbour area. Staff is great and excellent selection of Greek or Canadian fares.
Really disappointed with the food after seeing lots of good reviews. The lemon potatoes must have been soaking for days. The spinicapita was soaked in grease. I actually sat it on napkin before taking it home to soak up some of the grease. Thd waitress was excellent and the drinks were good .
Mary was our very courteous server, she explained the specials & promptly brought our drinks before taking our order! Thank you Food
If youre searching for a good spot for breakfast in Dartmouth/Cole Harbour area, check out Palladium. My friends and I like to catch up over bacon, eggs and coffee every now and then. We used to go to Steak and Stein for a basic breakfast but when it closed we were left without our regular spot. Personally, though I enjoy the trendy spots, or the breakfast extravaganzas like Pur & Simple and Coras, I find them very busy and they often have a line up out the door. Palladium is the kind of place that will serve you a standard breakfast and let you sit and catch up over coffee and thats just what I want sometimes. The service is awesome. They are so friendly and welcoming. The coffee mugs are huge! None of those tiny cups for this place. Atmosphere is kind of old fashioned and homey, which I dont mind. I had the classic eggs benny both times I went and they were so good. Reasonably priced at around $15 bucks. They also have Mediterranean and Greek versions on their menu. There are lots of omelets to choose from as well as classic bacon, sausage, ham and eggs. I like their grilled potatoes which include onions.
Quality service, the owner cares about the buisness reputation and quality of the food. Id recommend the fish.
Absolutely wonderful service, made you feel like family! Food and prices were also great. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed a delicious lunch/breakfast at this restaurant. The highlight was the friendly staff. The hostess entertained our little toddler making our visit go so smoothly! Thank you!
Food was average, but no complaints
I visited 6 years ago and wasnt impressed but today I had the moussaka and it was fresh and delicious so I had to update my review. I guess my previous bad review helped the kitchen
I love this place so much I went there before covid and continued going there with family everyone is super nice and welcoming
Good food and good service.
Fernando and his staff always make you feel welcomed a great spot to stop while in Cole Harbour for a good meal.
Been there a few times and always had lovely experience with service and food! It s nice place to hangout with friends and family with very calm and relaxed vibe!
Love going there for lunch with family when theyre in town. They have something for everyone.
Excellent food, great service. Will be back
Have loved this place for over a decade. Food is always delicious, service is the friendliest in the city.
The food was awesome, and the prices are reasonable.
Excellent breakfast at more than reasonable prices.
Everything was good the service the food and the staff very pleasant nice atmosphere and good portions for the price.
Plenty of options. I ordered scallops which were over cooked. CHICKEN souvlaki was excellent..staff are very friendly.
Great food and service! Owner always pleasantly greets patrons as well. Nice selection of food with some Greek flair.
Very clean, good service, friendly service, food should be good. The boss checks vaccination certificates and documents very strictly to ensure everyones safety. The food is cheap and delicious, and great value for money.
A family favorite. Polite, and happy staff! Great food.
Very friendly staff that always go above and beyond and the food is always delicious.
Fabulous staff and wonderful food
Great food! Best moussaka I ve eaten outside of Cyprus. Speedy service, and very friendly and accommodating wait staff who even provided a piece of paper for our toddler to drawn on. We ll be back next visit; thanks for a delicious and relaxed dining experience.
Delicious food, friendly staff
Q Had the haddock dinner, food was excellent as well as the service
The food was tasty and the service was good.
We reserved ahead and were a group of 21. (Dart Stroke Support Club)The service was fast, the food is delicious, the staff so friendly and helpful. No accessibility issues. Love this place and you will too!
Great meal and top-notch service.
Excellent, friendly staff. Amazing fresh food.
I ve eaten here several times (not by my choice.) I try to stick to things that are simple. The breakfast always tastes like middle-school-cafeteria fare on a low budget. I can t speak to lunch or dinner because based on my experience at breakfast I won t go there for these other meals. Pros: good service, good coffee. In closing: I really wish the food was better. I would go more often if the quality was higher.
Service was slow, missing one waitress coffee is terrible, 2% milk is not good for coffee even for tea ,toast wasnt toasted,bacon needed to be cooked a lot more.
Great food and service
The food and the staff are great at Palladium. Fernando is fantastic, he goes above and beyond for his customers.
The food was fantastic! Very hot and fresh! We come here often and get a great meal; tonight i tried the quesadilla and the spaghetti with meat sauce for the first time- so good! great portion sizes, good value for your money!
The service was great. I had there salmon was very delicious
Food is dependably good and attentive service. Great family dining.
Food was very good with very large portions
Parking: Lots of parking
Food was great.
Primo breakfast spot. Best pancakes ever. Fluffy, crispy; delish. Greek eggs bene also a hit. Feta dill sauce is tops.
Reya rates Palladium 5 paws! We had to leave the house and decided to go get some breakfast. We chose Palladium for their patio in the hopes they are dog friendly (plus we love their food!) and they are! They brought an extra cup of water for Reya and were sweet and accomodating; everyone respected her space and made the experience really enjoyable. We definitely recommend
My better half had lasagna. Twenty minutes after we left there she became very ill with cramps. Within 10 mins she had severe diarrhea and vomiting. Sounds like food poisoning.
Average restaurant. Food was mediocre, was busy. Had a greek platter to share. Moussaka was the best item.
Loved the Caesar salad, Greek salad, garden salad and garlic bread.
Food was good, portion size was good, staff friendly and very helpful, our kids loved it.
Super awesome restaurant! Very suitable for the whole family to come together
Wow. Best Greek food around. Marie our server was absolutely fabulous. Cant wait to come back.
Just awful. The owner makes the staff wear masks which should be a choice. Food was terrible. The only good thing was our waitress, she was awesome .
My fav place to dine
Great waitress , very good food & prices not too bad .
Parking: Great parking
Great unpretentious place with good food and friendly service
It was one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I have had. The food is always good and the service is even better.
Good food, good prices, friendly service, sunny outdoor patio. Great restaurant!
Good food Great service.
Great, friendly staff. The ham option for breakfast is processed ham slices and I prefer real ham, but the price reflects this. Big spacious dining area and parking lot.
I ordered nachos and received a heaping plate of soggy pita with a bunch of toppings that was 21$. Waitress seemed drunk? Was given a piece of pie for my poor experience but we won t be returning.
Server ignored us and served a family that arrived later. Ignorant.
I have loved this restaurant for years.
Steak was a little thin and not char broiled.
The food was hot and generous portions..the service was awesome...definitely going back
I absolutely LOVE the Palladium. They have the very best grilled haddock ever and have consistently for years. The staff are amazing helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Parking: Plenty of parking but be careful getting back onto Portland
A hidden gem of family dining. The food is great and the prices are reasonable
The food was delicious and it came out quickly. Our server was very polite and respectful.
Always great food, huge menu, terrific staff.
My food was Luke warm
Well, for whatever reason the coffee wasnt hot and neither was the food. Disappointing. I got a Ham and Swiss omelette and my daughter got chicken. She said the chicken was dry. Shes 7 so she had no reason to make it up.
Awesome restaurant! Ive been here many times and the food is always fresh. Staff are friendly.
Great quality. Clean and well trained staff. Prices are what you expect for high quality. I regularly visit the Palladium and my personal favourites are the Greek and Seafood dishes.
Haddock was one of the most favorite surprise on our tour of Dartmouth.
Service and Food Excellent as always Thanks
Went out for my daughters 13th birthday supper. As per usual, everything was DELISH! I had been craving their spaghetti for awhile, and it was soooo good.
This restaurant is amazing. So many great dishes, and the owner Fernando has the best customer service hands down that I have ever seen. I have been coming here for over 10 years, and have never seen him in a bad mood, or received anything short of great service/food. I bring in a lady in with special needs who hasnt been able to enter a restaurant for years, and we are treated so well (having special/ odd requests), and we are always welcomed and accepted regaudless. Its really appreciated. Amazing place!!
Staff were friendly and efficient. Food is delicious and ample. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Best place to eat in Cole Harbour
Great place to eat, food is good, service is. Good.
Fernando aims to please always! He is a favourite of my grandson and a must visit (sometimes more than once) when I am in town! Quick, friendly and priced well! #DextersOma
As always, fast service, friendly service and the best food Cole Harbour has to offer. Canadian, Greek and Mediterranean offered and all is properly portioned and plated. Thanks everyone for making it a great place to be as a Family.
Spaghetti in meat sauce came with about inch of water in the bottom of the bowl. Garlic toast was soggy. The meat in the sauce was a mystery because it did not taste like beef, pork or lamb, more like dog food. Even the Caesar salad dressing was watered down. Worst meal I have ever seen. Could not eat it. Will never be back. Pretty bad when the water is the best part of the meal.
Good food. Extremely slow for a family restaurant so I don t recommend to bring your kids here. We had 3 under 8 years old and getting our food an hour and 25 minutes after arriving took away from our experience.
Good food had the French toast..very yummy. Others had eggs Benedict .. sausage omelette..big breakfast..they all enjoyed the food. Good morning it was. They even have a patio now to enjoy.sorry no pictures.
Awesome, Perfect, Great Staff, Delicious food!!!!!!!! Excellent Chef.or Chefs!!!!!! Well worth the money!!!!! We will be back!!! I Highly recommend this restaurant!!!!!!!!
Great food and staff
Good service food was excellent. Prices have gone up lately. Accessable. Ample parking.
I have lived in Come Harbour for 14 years and tried Palladium for the first time tonight. What was I waiting for?? The staff was awesome and the food was amazing. Cant wait to go back.
Waitress Staff was teriffic
Food was amazing and the service was even better. Beth is the best server Ive ever had. Thank you so much
Excellent everytime !!!!
Its ok.
Thanksgiving Giving Dinner, So disappointing there is very little good to say about it.one expects slices of roast turkey not a shredded mess over sweet dressing awful, very little gravy, heaps of mashed potatoes and cold vegs. No water, napkins or salt and pepper on the table,had to ask twice for water which came at t,he end of the meal, We will not be back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Decent prices. Great staff. Friendly. Seafood platter was huge. Baklava was a huge piece and very good. Mousaka was not great nor were lemon potatoes.
Palladium has delicious Greek food and pan fried haddock. This is my go-to delivery place for Greek, especially their spanakopita and lemon potatoes. There was once an error in my meal and when I called to notify them, the owner brought me the correct meal himself! They are family owned and local, you wont regret eating here! I need to try their brunch!
Good customer service. Food was alright but to each their own! Would return again
The service was great. Friendly and attentive staff. The food was decent, diner style meals with good portions. Milkshakes were delicious! Will definitely be back.
Service was excellent and the food was good !
Wow! First time here. Ive had many fish and chips from Newfoundland to Toronto and this place does it in spades!! Delicious! Not very often I leave a restaurant and feel satisfied. And feel I got my moneys worth. You guys have great portions for the money. Wish all restaurants did it this way. You guys set the bar high. Now..on to the service. MARLENE.. Even my kids loved you. Thanks alot for making us feel welcome. And having a great sense of humor. You are a pro.
My favorite place to eat for breakfast and brunch ! The eggs benedict poutine is my favorite thing to eat its the best!
I didnt eat here so I cant contest for the food, but I did occasionally pick up food here as a Skipthedishes courier during the summer 2020 lockdown. It was a rough relationship with this restaurants staff at first. I didnt like how they made couriers wait for dine-in customers to be seated in the restaurant before allowing couriers to pick up an order made ahead of dine-in customers. One waitress got the owner involved in an incident where I got impatient. A few staff members really didnt like me. However, over the summer changes were made and the flow of couriers going in and out of the restaurant smoothed a bit, albeit it was militaristic. My relationship with the staff got better too. I think this is a great restaurant to eat at, but my experience with the staff was bittersweet.
The clams and chips were frikkin awesome tonight!!!
Really good fish n chips
Always friendly and curtious. Good food and fantastic staff. Keep up the good work.
Great
Worst excuse for Greek Moussaka EVER!! It was very tomato-y and not a nice flavour. There were more tough eggplant skins than there was eggplant pulp. Very disappointing.
Always stellar food, impeccably clean, and delightful wait staff. The owner, as always, greeted us with a smile and some laughs on our way in and out.
