A place you can shop then dine with the "girls", catch dinner before the show, bring your grandchildren or book a cosy table for that special occasion!
Food and service was great. Not too busy on a Saturday for lunch so we were seated and served quickly. Prices were a bit high for a lunch menu I expected that to be made up for the portion. Portions, although adequate and decent, were not overly large as I had expected when I saw the price. Its not a bad review at all as the food here is excellent. I would probably return, but not as often as I could. Lunch for 2 for example was over $60 (with 2 soft drinks only).
I placed order with Danielle for a 65th Birthday party this past summer. Large Group Order. Both Danielle and Nicki (owner) ensured all was in order for my pick-up and greeted me when I came by and help place the items in my car. They ensured it would stay hot as I was travelling up north for the event. The food was a great success!! Everyone loved it! Thank you, Olympia
I had the delightful opportunity to dine at the Olympia on a recent visit to the area. I had the steak dinner special with ample sides; perfectly seasoned and prepared as per my request. There was a local jazz ensemble performing a variety of classic and contemporary tunes. The atmosphere was festive and welcoming. The staff were friendly and attentive. As busy as it was, a packed house ; the server, bartender and owner ensured that we were well taken care of. The Baklava cheesecake was so decadent and delicious. I will definitely return when I am back in Lindsay.
I ordered a greek salad with chicken, cost $17 for this little salad and NO chicken, apprently it's another $9 for chicken, even tho I asked for chicken when I ordered. Staff was on another planet, and other staff were going on about what other restaurants in Lindsay they wanna eat at. I should have known then to run. If staff won't eat there, I shouldn't either. Salad wasn't even worth the money, and I will not ever return here. I'm not recommending this place. To the restaurants response: I was not rude in any way. Also, I am not the female you are confusing me with. I am Caucasian and that lady was clearly mixed race.
Just really good food, service and atmosphere…for the right price. Honest ingredients, friendly waiters and indoor outdoor set up! Souvlaki was 🔥
Exceptional food. We had the falafel quinoa bowl and their dip platter. Best Tzakiki I've ever had, and their whipped roasted red pepper and feta was amazing. Next time we're in Lindsay, we will definitely be going back.
I ordered a Greek burger and 8oz steak and raspberry cheese! All I can say is the service is outstanding and great! Atmosphere is amazing and vibe! Will come back again First time here
This place was recommended to us by a local and high expectations were met. The service was very friendly and efficient without being rushed. The food was very good. The soup was delicious. Pastries were decadent but maybe a bit sweet.
Absolutely delicious
The atmosphere was inviting and the staff were very nice. I ordered 2 chicken souvlaki dinner. It came to $30 each. The food had absolutely no seasoning the potatoes were dry, the chicken and rice plain plain plain. I got double chicken so it seemed they gave us less of everything else. It was not souvlaki it was just chicken. The only thing Greek about it was the tzatziki. We will not be returning to expensive for the portion size and quality.
Brought my wife for a birthday dinner, our first time to Olympia and in a word - excellent! The food was SO delicious, the service was outstanding, and the nice easy ambiance was just the evening we were looking for! Highly recommend! Food
Impeccable food, service, and atmosphere. Healthy food made from quality ingredients, friendly staff, and a very clean and stylish restaurant. I hope more businesses in Lindsay get inspired from Olympia! Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. They have a kids menu and the atmosphere is very relaxed.
This a very unique restaurant experience in the Lindsay downtown. It has been in business for a long time and continues to be place of destination. Greek speciality. Very good. Food
Amazing Greek food and very accommodating to the changes we made for our meals. Prices are reasonable and service was great.
Awesome food. Great staff. Always a great experience Parking: On street angle parking and a parking lot behind /north of the restaurant Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
Our food was delicious and our server was amazing!
Service was great, atmosphere is good, the food portions are to small, $26 for a chicken souvlaki plate with double skewer, the chicken skewers are small, hardly any rice, enough salad and potato s. I d say a 4 skewers at that size if you re charging 26$.
Great patio and a tradition for locals and tourists alike.
We used to eat here over 30 years ago. Moved away. Came back today for a visit. Was thrilled to see it was the same superior food and service. Everything was superb. Well done!!
SO GOOD! We were blown away dont hesitate eat here!
The food is always great. Drinks too. Such a pretty spot. Danielle (our server) is the best!
Awesome spot with good eats, cold beer, and fair prices. Very friendly service with a dog friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be back! Service : 5/5
Excellent place to dine in or take out, Friday nights are fun, wish they would get Door Dash.
Great food, for a great price. And great service. :) Dietary restrictions: I was able to modify my order to avoid dairy, which made me happy. Food : 5/5 |
Food was very good. They make the best expresso martini I have had to date. Waitress was a little slow bringing the bill. Food : 5/5
It was a great dinner, they had a jazz band playing that was real good, thr food tasted good portion size was on the light size, I am used to Greek portion in Greek restaurants so it just may be my preference. The desert was fresh and served warm which is the way I like my baklava. All in all it was a good dinning experience.
A great place to eat great service.
Amazing gluten free options for authentic Greek food. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Food : 5/5 |
Restaurant was very clean. Food and service were excellent. Will be back when we are in the area. Food : 5/5
Great place. My sister and I had lunch. Delicious food. Great waitress, such a friendly and happy personality.
The Olympia is one of our favourite places to dine. The staff and service are incredible. We had family from out of town and they commented how the food was the best Greek food theyve had. Highly recommend this place.
The Greek salad was delicious. Very large portion. The chicken souvlaki was excellent. Our waitress was very pleasant and very attentive to our needs. Thamk you for a lovely lunch.
Best book club ever. Ambiance is wonderful! Love it there!
Love it great staff friendly service great food
Very, very pleased with all aspects of our dinner experience!
The food is cold, and the fries are not fresh. I will never go back there. Recommended: ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
Christmas dinner with my husband and his staff was arranged in Olympia it was my first time there it look like a vintage restaurant I liked their paintings and overall look of the restaurant we had vegetarian options and salmon of course as we follow halal options it was yummy fries salad vegetables wrap pita with sauces everything was so good delicious and tasty the service was prompt affordable delicious meals must go and try and enjoy the restaurant you will like it
Great food, friendly service, great drinks, thank you
We were passing through and stumbled upon this beautiful greek restaurant. The staff were friendly, atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Their tzatziki sauce was incredible and food was delicious! Portion sizes were generous and the desserts are scrumptious! Definitely worth stopping in at if staying or passing through Lindsay!
Wasnt a very good experience. The portion size is small for the price. Felt ignored as well.
ABSOLUTELY, HANDS DOWN, BEST IN TOWN!!! Amazing setting, service and food. A must go while in Lindsay. You can thank me later
Great food , Great People what a Gem in downtown Lindsay!!
We recently ordered take out for my mother s birthday. Nicki set everything up perfectly, down to having everything boxed up (piping hot) when my dad went to pick it up. My mom has celiac disease, and I could tell Nicki took this very seriously and gave me great suggestions to keep the dinner gluten- free. There was plenty of food (even though I ordered for less people than were there!) and throughout the whole meal my entire family kept raving about how delicious everything was. The kids gobbled up the Dino nuggets! Thanks so much for making my mom s birthday party perfect! It will definitely be an annual tradition!!
Delicious food, delightful service, great spot!
Real good the server was beautiful too I was there with my Grandson, Son and my Wife on the 27th of January we asked Anthony Polito where to go he recommended Olympia.
Husband and I went for Valentines dinner last night. The restaurant was busy due to the night so we did have to wait a bit longer for food (but we did expected that). Food was great and service was good. Only thing we were not thrilled on was the amount of ravioli that was served as a portion for the price. It was a $25 dish with only 7 pieces of ravioli. Aside from that the dish itself was delicious.
Dinner was great. Id give 5 stars if the service was faster.
This place is a great escape, lovely atmosphere, mellow music and excellent food and service.
So nice to have lunch in a restaurant that is not part of a worldwide chain! Spacious, heritage building adds to the experience. My rating of 3 for the food is a result of the soup. It was chicken mushroom but consistency, colour and flavour was weird. Not sure what spices were added but I couldnt finish it. The other 3 diners did enjoy their meals.
Never a bad meal at this restaurant. Consistently excellent food, service and atmosphere.
This is the most amazing place to eat in Lindsay. The food is spectacular and the owners and staff match the food. 5 stars
Great service, great food always freshly made.
Food was average and portions where small
This place has become a regular favourite of ours. The anmbience and service is perfect, every server we ve encountered is always attentive and prompt. Also, Olympia is one of the best looking Greek restaurants in the Kawartha lakes area. Falafels are great. If you love a good potato, go for dinner rather than lunch. Only fries are served during lunch, not roasted potatoes. If you can, save room for dessert. The selection is always solid. Tzatziki could use more of a garlic punch but that might just be my personal preference. Vegetarian options: Falafel is made in house. Not sure about other options . Have not tried them.
Love the vegetable soup! Nice light lunch and reasonable pricing. Staff is lovely!
Great ambiance, great service, great food! Incredibly crispy and fresh sweet potato fries and the peanut butter and chocolate cheesecake were phenomenal. Free refills on the lemonades, WHAT!?? Also the lemonade was a perfect combination of not too sweet and not too bitter, it was perfect for a warm day in May.
Great fries
Service is fine. Some server is enthusiastic, some just came by to ask without needing the answer. Atmosphere was nice, comfy in seating there to enjoy food. $3 to upgrade to sweet potato fries was totally worth it as its so crispy inside out and sweet. Delicious. Will come back to visit.
Excellent food. Excellent service. Id recommend this restaurant
Delicious strawberry salad. Service was close to perfect. The place was full, every table taken midweek and with the normal staffing challenges. So no complaints. Wait staff friendly and helpful.
Great food and friendly service. The food is always good, so while we are from out of town, we always stop in when we are in the area Recommended dishes
Had not been there for about 40 years. Was fun to go with my daughter and granddaughter for a lovely meal.
We stopped in for dinner and we were seated on the patio which was nice. The restaurant is very well decorated and feels very European for sure. The service was slow and we ordered an appetizer which was forgot about. The food was decent portions and the fries were prepared and seasoned perfectly. The burger was bland and overcooked but it was edible. The Creme brule was good. 2 people $125. 1 alcoholic beverage. Vegetarian options: Theres options Kid-friendliness: Bring the family if ya want. Most kids probably wont like the menu choices Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of access
Amazing food options for gluten free and vegan as well, great atmosphere as well as amazing service and live music. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Vegan friendly Wheelchair accessibility: One floor no ramps
Delicious Chicken Souvlaki Greek Salads and our server was very friendly.
A friendly atmosphere and attentive service. The food was well prepared and the menu was varied. I would definitely recommend dining here.
Always delicious food and super nice staff!
Great food, great service, great time!
Excellent authentic Greek food! Finally found the best Gyros in the region, and the service was friendly and fun.
Really nice restaurant with a good selection of Mediterranean food
Fantastic food, cute location, kind and accommodating staff. The foods a little slow but worth waiting for. The building has a lot of character and charm. Parking: Limited street parking Kid-friendliness: While kids are welcome, I would probably choose to come here on a date night or with adult friends. There was no issue, its just not the type of place that has crayons and booths. We werent offered a booster seat, but didnt ask for one either.
Food was amazing! Chicken souvlaki was the best, cheese cake was to die for.
The test of time...An Icon in down town Lindsay.... Enjoy
Food was fantastic and atmosphere was great for one of the oldest business in town
Paid $22+tax for this take out salad which came with no dressing. Staff suggested I just come back and pick up the dressing. Terrible experience.
Amazing food, our waitress was very attentive and we will for sure be back!
Tasty food, great service and atmosphere.
Clean, fresh and inviting. Great selection of food and drinks. The server is kind and helpful. Vegetarian options: Greek salad and falafel along with an iced saffron honey tea. Yum.
Great food!
Portion are vary small not even a nuff yo feed a small kid
Extremely small portion sizes- way too expensive for what is provided. Compared to restaurants in Torontos Greektown neighborhood, it was way underwhelming. Servers were kind, though the food took 25 mins to come. We finished in 5 minutes due to the super small portion size and we were still hungry afterwards.
It was just what we wanted for dinner We got Greek food and Italian food for dinner and it was so tasty Very comfy restaurant Servers were friendly and welcoming Would definitely come back !
Went in for take out... very disappointed with the portions of food...this is supposed to be 2 skewers of chicken....this is also at 4:45 just as they open so wasnt very busy and $115 for 3 of these ...
Our first time attending the restaurant and it was for my birthday. Excellent everything and we will definitely be back.
Best steak ever
Very nice meal. Good service and food for a larger group including kids.
Always great food and drinks
Food was good and great servìce by Danielle.
They have done the best job at distancing their restaurant while maintaining is down town familiar feeling. The staff is friendly and calm, made any meal therenormal in abnormal times
Great food amazing service
Delicious food and Excellent customer service!!
Large menu of very tasty food and excellent service
Great place to go out and get delicious Greek food in Lindsay! The food is great, the restaurant is beautiful and the staff are always so wonderful!
Eat here. Charming spot with friendly service and absolutely phenomenal food.
Great Greek food and amazing deserts
The Olympia is a fantastic Greek restaurant. They offer a huge selection of authentic Greek food. I have tasted many things on the menu and there has never been a disappointment. They have a great wine selection and full service bar to make you anything your heart desires. The service is amazing and all the staff are warm and welcoming and have great personalities. If its lunch your looking for or a fantastic dinner out, make sure to check out the Olympia !! FYI: They have the best steak going by far ! Thanks for hosting last night Olympia! Such an amazing night out, amazing food ! Amazing staff ! Support local, love local ! Be local!
From the initial phone call for a last minute , post storm reservation the staff were absolutely fantastic! The bartender was quite busy but had time to say hi and that she would be right with us. She served our drinks with a smile. The drinks were perfect! Next to our table, Daniel our waitress was also very busy but greeted us with a warm hello and gave us a reasonable amount of time to make our choices. The food was amazing. Dessert was a hard choice (everything looked so good). We were not disappointed! Thank you Olympia for making our anniversary dinner perfect!
Excellent service and tasty food Pita, platters all good Love the rice pudding
I loved everything about this place. Different choices of great food, lovely decor and great staff. I will definitely be going back.
Excellent meals and ambience for our party. Our server took care of us well
Wonderful customer service and even better food. Will definitely go back the next time were in town
Tasty Greek food in Lindsay with friendly staff. A great option for lunch or dinner. The chicken souvlaki is fantastic, but my particular favourites are the fresh falafels and dolmades.
Always a pleasure, authentic Greek cuisine and excellent service, plus Nicki and Costa are wonderful hosts, and actually there, and care so much about their customers!
Delicious food however the prices are expensive for the quantity of food served. I called ahead to book a reservation for a friends bday for seating on their patio, when we arrived we were placed at a table inside. We were disappointed not to enjoy our dinner in this beautiful weather outside on the patio.
I needed to update my review after my fiance and I hosted our family and friends for our rehearsal dinner tonight at Olympia. From the planning to the actual event tonight, they were amazing. Our meal tonight was exemplary. Our server was top notch. They made a very special even better. I am forever grateful and please consider them when you are planning you own events!
Nice meal. Nice outdoor sitting area.
We went for lunch and sat outside on the lovely patio. The food was decent, we both just had wraps and fries. Id like to go back and try the Greek offerings. The service was wonderful. Really friendly and attentive waitress.
Very good service amazing Tzatziki needs work
Waitresses were excellent, meal was great the Pork was very tender meal was excellent what a great place to eat, they will definitely see us again, Thank You to the waitress
I really love Greek Food. I enjoy my meal here every time. But, I find with the Olympia , the chicken skewer portion needs to be a little bigger, and the potatoes needs to be proper roasted potatoes especially for a Greek Restaurant. I will be back.
Excellent, fresh food. Fantastic service. Vegetarian options: Available Dietary restrictions: They were very accommodating. Parking: Limited to the street.
The staff was very friendly, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the food quite tasty.
Awesome restaurant, with tasty food and friendly staff.
i loved the greek food here
Had a lovely business lunch on the Olympia patio. We all enjoyed the vegetarian options, I LOVE their falafel, they are homemade perfection.
Went to Olympia for dinner for the first time and we had a great dinner. Food and drinks were amazing, the service was great, and just a great place to sit and enjoy with loved ones.. We cant wait to be back!
Very nice.. Greek cuisine.. big roll up door if its warm outside. Waitress was wonderful.
The best Greek salad. Meals are never disappointing.
Good meal, clean restaurant
Always a good meal, friendly service & a great atmosphere.
Very nice lunch, great food and staff. Very enjoyable
Coming in tonight for the first time with friends that have been to the restaurant before, they gave it a 5 star review, cant wait to taste the greek food, love Greek. I sure will take pictures and post more later ...
I went to Olympia last night and I quite enjoy the food the food is always wonderful however something has drastically changed and Im assuming it is because of the inflation but I ordered lamb souvlaki and it honestly looked like one piece of lamb was cut up into five tinier pieces that were delicately placed on my tiny pile of rice and it resembled five pieces of dog treats on my plate. It was so laughable the tiny amount of food they put on for the lamb. Basically my dinner consisted of one regular size piece of lamb a couple potatoes a little bit of rice and some soggy salad. I am extremely disappointed and will not be going back anytime soon at least until inflation subsides and they actually serve up proper portions.
I ordered take out and when I arrived the staff were extremely friendly. The food was delicious but the portion size was disappointing for a Greek restaurant especially for the cost of a platter. Greek restaurants in Toronto give you more for the price. I was embarrassed because I was bringing food to my in laws and it wasn t enough. I wish I knew this to order more.
Excellent greek food!! Everything was so fresh and the tzatziki was fantastic!!!
Olympia has always been a great food guarantee....so the disappointment was a surprise. We were a group of 9 having dinner before seeing a concert. So to start with drinks, understanding that this a Greek style restaurant, the wine list was very limited, I wanted a simple glass of pinot grigio, the best they had to offer was a pinot grigio STYLE wine...it was ok. Im not sure why the wine list is so limited. My friends wanted beer, and again the selection was limited, one of my friends did order a red wine and said it was great. We ordered appetizers, calamari and saganaki. The calamari were breaded and fried so we expected a nice crispy crunch...they were returned to the kitchen, they were floppy, soggy, lacking seasoning. The saganaki was ok, the pita served with it was over toasted making it dry, the cheese was dredged in too much flour, giving it an almost battered coating. For the main course I ordered chicken souvlaki, potatoes and greek salad. The meal offered also rice but I opted out on the rice. There is a one or two skewer size meal, having previously eaten here I knew one skewer would be plenty, or so I thought. My plate arrived with four loonie sized pieces of chicken, not on a skewer, which is no big deal, but the portion of meat was a shocker! Each piece was about half inch cube. There was no seasoning, no herby greek flavour, nothing, just 4 nuggets of chicken. The potatoes were cut in wedges, no seasoning, no Greek potato flavour, just bland wedges of blah. The salad had one tiny quarter of a slice if cucumber. It was dressed with a blah dressing. Basically the plate reminded me of what I may expect at a hospital cafeteria. Some friends had the same meal, others had schnitzel, odd for a Greek place...which was decent but they commented on the blah flavour as well. We ordered a couple of dessert items, the pumpkin cheese cake, which was very good, not sure if it is made in house, and baklava which was too over loaded with cinnamon to the point that you couldnt taste the nut filling and it actually kind of was unpleasantly spicey, not sure if it is made in house or not. Im not sure what has changed to cause the lack luster food. It has always been one of my fav spots for a long time, and a sure fire place for amazing food so this experience has been a big disappointment. My dinner was 50 dollars, plus tip, not cheap, not outrageous...but not worth it. There is huge history with this restaurant I hope they sort things out and restore the quality.
Visited for a dinner with colleagues and had an amazing time! Our server Lauren was friendly, energetic and helpful. She went above and beyond to give us an amazing experience and a few laughs as well. The food was delicious but even if it werent, we would have gone back for Lauren.
Love this restaurant; for the food, great service from host to servers, clean & very relaxed atmosphere. Recommend!
Its nice to be out at restaurants again and it will finally allow my wife and I to adequately explore all of the restaurants in the area. Olympia was a great find. Haveing grown up in Greektown in Toronto I was hoping for a great meal and we were not disappointed. Every dish was on point. Thanks for a great evening. We will be back again.
Great spot for lunch or dinner! The best Greek food in town.
Excellent service and delicious food
Fantastic! Amazing food! This place is a hidden gem in Lindsay!
Delicious food and great service
We always enjoy going to the Olympia! The food was delicious! The staff is very friendly.
Great meal, great staff, great experience
Stopped for lunch in Lindsay on a cycling trip and stumbled across this place. Nice and airy location with the front open and a small patio as well. We had the falafel pita with Greek fries and a Greek chicken wrap - both were delicious. Service friendly and fast.
Had chicken slouvaki plater. Was good except for the so called roasted potatoes. They were more like old potatoes wedges.
Best falafels ever. The souvlaki is excellent. Waitress was awesome.
cute place, service was not good, unfortunately neither was the food. Could have been an off day.
Loved this spot. The food was amazing and our server was helpful and attentive. Ill be in again next time Im in Lindsay!
Beautiful dinner, looking forward to next time.
Good location. Great food. Excellent people.
The food here is delicious. Just, recently they don t do takeout - At All - which is depressing because they re the only place in town who does calamari souvlaki, and we have a baby, so there s no easier way for us to enjoy Olympias great food without takeout. 1 star until they get takeout going again.
One of the best Greek restaurants I have ever been. Food was great. Portions are generously sized and fairly priced. Nice spacious interior with historical elements in the decor, paired with lounge music in the background creates a warm and upscale atmosphere. Patio is also very nice. Our server Natalie was very professional and friendly. She went above and beyond to make our experience perfect. I will definitely visit Olympia Restaurant again.
Nice quaint place in Lindsay. I enjoyed my lunch.
Very very good!
Excellent food and service. Outdoor patio.
Great food and staff and service were fantastic. Will definitely be returning with friends and family.
Very clean great staff and good food
Best streak and greek salad anywhere. Family owned and run establishment for generations. Nice patio with great downtown location.
Best Chicken Souvlaki - great service!
Wonderful dinner at Olympia! Great way to celebrate my birthday. Gyro platter and the dip platter were wonderful, and i celebrated with a Negroni. Service was impeccible. Every employee seemed to genuinely care about the customers in the restaurant and everyone was greeted with such warmth.
Nice decor, freindy service, good food
The waitress was very attentive to my request for changes to the menu.
Best liver and onions ever! Fast and friendly service
Great Great and more great
Good food and reasonable prices.
Comfortable. I ordered beet and feta salad and there were no beets on my salad. They didnt mention it at all :(
Great food, mostly Greek cuisine. Great service.
Great food, lovely staff. Recommend 100%
Great company. Great food. Amazing wine. Fantastic service.
Amazing food, friendly atmosphere, fantastic wine and great service
Excellent food and service as always!!
Great quality food. I did a pick up order here and they were excellent in recommending some of their menu options as I wasnt sure what to order.
I had the BLT and it was very good... bacon was awesome!
love the Greek salad
Love it and its the best place to catch up with my friends!!!! Greek fries everytime!
Great food and staff
Great staff, great location, great food. A Lindsay institution. Not worth a trip back home without getting something from the Olympia. Is it the most authentic greek food experience? Perhaps not. Is it delicious, a great environment, and one of the best spots in downtown Lindsay? Absolutely.
The falafel dinner is absolutely to die for. I personally dont like rice so I get potatoes and extra salad. Yumm
What a wonderful restaurant ! They fit us in on a busy Saturday, let us dry our gear near the fire, and served delicious food, with a nice espresso to finish ! The waitress was top notch, and very friendly.
Great service. Go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your meal. Highly recommend the Olympia!
Great food, welcoming and a proper server !
