Last Friday, we had a holiday staff dinner at this restaurant, which was my first experience there. I was the first to arrive, and the waitress was nice and welcoming. The rest of the school staff began to arrive shortly after. The menu had already been chosen by the staff. We started with calamari for everyone at the table, along with a choice of salad or soup (either lentil or squash). The main dishes consisted of steak, chicken, and salmon, with coffee provided but no desserts included. Each person was required to pay $40, and any additional orders would be added to our bills. It’s also a bring-your-own-wine establishment. The calamari were okay; there was only one small slice of lemon for the entire plate, and not all of the calamari came with the side sauce. I chose the squash soup, which was fine, but I missed taking a photo of my salmon. The salmon dish was decent, and the sautéed veggies were the best part. However, the rice was tasteless; I ended up adding the calamari sauce to make it more enjoyable. I also ordered lemon pie, which was okay but not extraordinary. The coffee was more water-flavored than anything else. Overall, the staff were nice, and the chef even came out to ask if everything was okay, which was a thoughtful gesture. When it came time to pay the bill, I noticed options for tipping: percentages, custom, and skip. I chose to customize my tip because I wasn’t completely satisfied with the food. However, the waitress stopped me with an attitude and asked me to pay more. The tipping situation in Montreal can be quite challenging. While tipping is not obligatory, it often feels expected. If you choose to skip or customize the tip for any reason, it’s not acceptable for staff to confront you about it with an attitude. In any case, I wanted to be honest and transparent about my experience. I believe the restaurant likely offers better options, but due to the restrictions on our menu choices, that was my feedback.
Atmosphere is super old school. There was a lot of oregano in they’re house salad. Main course was the chicken brochette and there’s absolutely no seasoning on the chicken. This plate was $35. I expected a bit of a higher standard for this price mark. The wait staff is nice and are juggling a lot, so thumbs up to them.
Incredible mediterranean food for a reasonable price. Staff are friendly and owners create a feel-good atmosphere. Delicious homemade dessert add an extra layer of family feeing to the restaurant.
Got the dinner for 2. 100$ a little pricey. Service was mah, had to ask for enough bread for all invited water and open the wine since you are allowed to bring your own wine. The soup was delicious and the desert was also tasty.
I am a first timer at this well established restaurant. Whenever I walked by it, it was always busy. So, used Mother's Day as an excuse to try it. It was ok. I found it a bit disappointing. Being a Greek restaurant, one tends to order Greek salad and grilled chicken. Those are the two must have in most Montreal Greek restaurants. It is probably your best bet. The portions are nice. Meals come with soup or salad, steamed veggies, potatoes, fries or rice. Started with squah soup. Unfortunately, it needed seasoning. We ordered a Greek salad for the table. It was cut into tiny pieces with lots of feta and a light dressing. For the mains, we had one grilled chicken plate and one grilled chicken and shrimp plate. The chicken breast was very thin and slightly over cooked, therefore, it was dry. Well spiced bit too salty. As for the shrimp, they were very good but I could hardly see them on the plate. There were 3 but really really small. I was not happy. The veggies were cooked to perfection. They consisted of broccoli and carrots. Because I don't like cooked carrots I asked that they be omitted from my plate. I thought I would get more broccoli but I was wrong. The fries were delicious and the potatoes were large chunks. Once dinner was over I notices that the table cloth that was under the paper covering was dirty with dries lettuce and so.eone had cleaned their chocolate, I hope it was from chocolate cake, fingers on the table cloth that was never changed. Yuk. All in all, considering the reviews from others, not those posted, I was disappointed.
Good service. Nice atmosphere. Mostly senior clientele. I ordered linguini in rosee sauce with shrimp. 24.99 including soup or salad. I chose salad. I asked for penne instead of linguini but was told that was not possible. Received my salad quickly (5 mins) it was fresh and good but there waa very little dressing and no seasonings (salt pepper spices) which i like. Received my main course about 6 mins after I finished my salad. Look at the pictures. The first 3 mouth fulls tasted great! The 6 large shrimp were cooked to perfection! The pasta was cooked ok. The sauce was basically olive oil, butter and maybe some cream. I did not taste or see tomatoes at all. I asked for parsley to help cut the heavy fat content of the dish. The waitress brought me some. I ate all the delicious shrimp but could not eat the pasta. It was way to greasy/fatty for me and lacked any tomatoe taste. 5 out of 9 at our table ordered pasta. 4 Rominoff and one Rosee. We were unable to eat our meal because it was way too greasy. I asked if i could have more (tomato) sauce put on my pasta and was told no. The chef will not accommodate special requests. The cafe aux lait is delicious!!!
Visited on a Saturday evening with reservations (highly recommended on Saturday evenings at least) for an early supper. Although we had reserved and the restaurant was empty, we were seated next to the serving area/kitchen. We couldn't hear ourselves over the voices of the employees. Our server offered us a better table, sensing our discomfort. But why these tables exist and why they were offered to people who thought to reserve was frankly insulting. So aside from the fact that they are lacking in manners, the food is spectacular. I had the mussels appetizer with white wine and garlic. They were possibly the best mussels I have ever tasted. My wife had the grilled sea bass and I had the grilled octopus. The sea bass was tender and flavourful. The octopus was certainly the best I have ever tasted in my entire life: tender, delicious, and grilled to perfection (see photos). Our server was charming and professional. I will definitely go back: they have a special on mussels on Wednesday nights!
My first time here. Exceptionally Friendly staff, great food. Chef came out personally to greet us and make sure we were ok. Fast service. Budget friendly. Great location.
I really like this place. Tasty, cozy. Great service. Bravo to the chef - owner of the Oregano restaurant. Sincerely, a group of regular customers - Olga-Volodia-Pavel-Irina and many of our friends.
In all honesty, we were there as a big group, so can t fully judge the experience. The portions were decent, but lacked some variety on the plate.
Always good. The salad portion with the main could be larger!
The atmosphere of the restaurant for exceeds the quality of the food and the surface. Its presented as a white tablecloth restaurant but has comparatively speaking for a Saturday night restaurant during covid-19 excessive pricing, it has very low prices. A whole dining experience with a 20% tip and 15% come back. Taxes was about $52. Thats because we ordered the tire full meal included menu. Even with those lower prices, for the quality and presentation and lack of experience of the staff, as well as the frightened paranoid inquiry by the either chef owner or whoever he was, that didnt say, its was not a great experience. Their lentil soup is excellent and theyre espresso smells great. Everything else in the middle was not great. A slice of orange from a carrot that was 50 times normal size and a giant head of broccoli. The size Ive never seen before. Calamari that was so chewy that I couldnt even chew it. The dessert apple cobbler cake was simply cooked apples cutting the square with giant apple pieces and a bit of cobblered dressing on top of it. Most of the meal in between the soup and the dessert and coffee really wasnt okay. Theres plenty of room for improvement but when I paid double the price and another restaurant elsewhere just a few days before its was 10 times. The better quality and far better service. Even the chair on the table I was sad at with my partner had the pieces coming out of the chair and wobble like crazy and I probably would have had the chair collapse. Appearance was great but content wasnt. They have lots of room for improvement and I hope they do. They seem like nice young people but rather clueless and a bit bizarre in there food choices of presentation and appearance
They didnt find our reservation originally and she had to look again and then they tried seating us by the front door without a wind stop secondary door and I didnt want to have people standing in front of me waiting to be seated or having the winter the cold kick in and that wasnt great seating. So I asked for a replacement as we were the first people there just before 6:00 p.m. when our reservation was for and she sat us beside the bathroom. The lentil soup was good and the decaf cappuccino smelled quite nice. The size of the vegetables were basically like it was from some dinosaur prehistoric place where everything is humongously big and way bigger than it should be. And so it is one broccoli and a wedge of part of a circle of a carrot at covered most of the plate! I originally ordered the salad and my partner the soup. The soup was good lentil but the salad was as tiny little unobtrusive bowl with six pieces of some vegetables and half of it greens. It was no salad at all. The breaded calamari or squid was uneditable and I actually had to extradite the larger piece for my mouth cuz I couldnt even chew it. My food partner said try the little ones. Theyre not too bad. Thats how good they were. Not too bad. The overall dining experience with kind of non-restaurant people service and the chef owner showing up on our table in a scary faced way going. Is everything okay? Obviously it wasnt, must not have had any clue that this was subpar stuff across the board except for the soup and the espresso and which part of this was supposed to be Greek grill. Anyhow? We have Greek grills throughout Montreal and this was definitely subpar. Sorry for the negative review but this is the first negative review of a restaurant Ive ever given. And its well earned. Too bad .
Thats amazing place
Best steak in côté St Luc
My familys experience at Oreganos Grill was lovely. They respect our requested accommodations for food allergies. The food is always tasty.
Thanks it was good
Stopped here while traveling through Montreal and it was fantastic. We arrived late and they kept the kitchen open for us and the food was awesome. Service was great also.
Wonderful restaurant! We went there for my moms birthday and the food was very good! Quality ingredients, nice flavors. Very friendly service. Only thing was the fried calamari was very bland. And tables would be nicer without the paper on top of the tablecloths. But would definitely return!! Thank you!!
Food was great very tasty . My partner and I enjoyed the soup and fresh bread and food portions are great. Overall service was amazing.
Very overpriced, especially for a BYOB. Food was mediocre. Nice staff. Won t return.
Food is delicious but I was shocked by how expensive the prices have risen.
I like it
We went as a group of 8 for my mom s birthday. The main courses were very good, and everyone loved the butternut squash soup for a starter. They accommodated a child at our table with a special request. The service was very nice. Prices on the high side, but it s it s BYOW which helps offset the total cost. We ll definitely be back!
Good Bring Your Own Wine Greek cuisine. We took the 90$ special for two, includes a soup or salad each, fried calamari, bass, 2 jumbo shrimps, 2 pieces of lamb chop, served with potatoes and legumes, and desert and tea. Everything was good except the fried calamari was chewy (overcooked or cheap?). We mentioned it and they offered to replace it. It is true that the place has a senior clientel but its worth it.
Octopus and sea bass were amazing
Wonderful place
Amazing salmon Ambiance is wonderful Go have a nice dinner you wont regret it And bring your own wine
Amazing steaks, as usual, just melting in mouth!!! We love this restaurant because of warm atmosphere and great delicious dishes. Best compliments to the Chef! Thanks for excellent evening
Went here for the first time on May 31st, 2022. Great atmosphere, wonderful staff and great food.
Excellent
Very good food and service but a little on the pricey side. Worthy of a visit, plus you can bring your own wine.
Good restaurant with reasonable prices. Excellent service!
Delicious fish
Great place...food is delicious..friendly staff
Celebrated a birthday with 9 guests! Fantastic service from the professional staff. The food was delicious! Compliments au Chef!
Chicken, mussels and fish was delish.
Fantastic food and atmosphere. The best octopus I have ever had. It is BYOB, I didnt know before but I will be coming back with a bottle of wine this time.
Great service and tasty food
Such a treat in this neighborhood. I felt immediately welcome in this little gem. The menu is extensive and prices are reasonable. I chose Veal Scallopini Picata al limone, let me share my delight when it was served, obviously made in house by the owner Chef, this is not reheated food. I will be back, the tables were full of guests who all seemed as satisfied as we were. The atmosphere is suitable for any occasion and if you bring Champagne they will provide the flutes.
Awesome place, i had a family event there with 40people and the staff was professional and the food tasted great!
Great food, loved the artic char.
Best tzatziki by far !!!!
Very good restaurant, we eat very well there, I recommend
Excellent as always
Always great food and service. My favorite place for Mediterranean type food. Wonderful steak, lamb, fish, seafood. Great soup and salad.
Last night was my best take out during this quarantine
The grilled octopus is what I camr for and it did not disappoint!!! It was amazing!! Service was great, super polite and attentive
Very cozy, tasty food, easy prices
Very disappointed this evening with the food and service. We often go there with a couple of friends who love this restaurant. We usually eat well there. Not today, I dont know if its due to the Easter holiday and the fact that they dont have the usual staff, but my husbands linguini was served 15 minutes late than the others guests and my chicken skewers which were served to me 10 minutes before the others were dry. Lots of errors in the service. Our waitress seemed to want to be somewhere else and really took little or no care of our table. On the other hand, we welcome the fact that the restaurant did not charge the pasta. Its a good gesture to make amends. Im not sure well be going back anytime soon. Too bad.
Four of us were there last night...Excellent service...delicious meals...lamb chops were outstanding as well as the sea bass, shrimps, soup, salads and deserts!!! Will definitely go back!!!
Amazing foods
Excellent restaurant
When there for my birthday food very good enjoyed it
Very pleasant service, unusually nice decor. Sadly, the food was mediocre. We had 3 dishes and only the deep-fried calamari were really good: crisp and cooked just enough. The grilled calamari was heavily flavoured with a vinegary, spicy marinade and rather rubbery. The veal Marsala looked and tasted good, but had an unusual gummy texture.
Nothing to say too good
Food is medicore. Bland for the most part. Under-seasoned. Good service though.
Very good and fresh food, very good service
Fantastic time. Celebrated a birthday there with a party of 31.The atmosphere was great and the food, DELICIOUS!! The staff were attentive and friendly. Great time had by all.
Loved it. The lamb chops were delicious My boyfriend had the Sea Bass and said it was the best he ever had
Food is average and portions somewhat small. For thee price the atmosphere is nice and service is generally good
Very good sea bass with nicely cooked vegetables.
This is a fantastic restaurant. They have a very good and tasty menu and stick to their quality. Good ambiance, good service and I recommend it to anyone. MD
Delicious fish! Rack of lamb was well prepared. Tabatha was a great server!
Excellent food and patient attentive service for a much older crowd.
Food was average, service was good. Not in a rush to go back
Nice place. Good menu Good friendly service
Nice staff, good food. A bit pricey for what it is, but Id come back here.
Always busy, great food. Reasonable prices.
Generally excellent seafood, especially for NDG. Mostly locals. Bring your own wine is a plus!
Whenever my wife and I get a craving for some delectable seafood, we head straight for a charming place called Oreganos Grill on Somerled Ave. We usually order the fresh Sea Bass or Porgy which is prepared Mediterranean style, very simply in olive oil, lemon and spices and is always cooked to absolute perfection. The dish is accompanied by steamed vegetables and a boiled potato or rice. This plate is not only delicious but also really healthy. An ample green salad or homemade soup and warm bread starts the meal and a hot coffee finishes it. The service is fast and very friendly. Another nice touch is the owner always comes around to all the tables to say hello and check if everything is to your liking. For an outstanding seafood experience in N.D.G. this BYOB is the place to go.
Outstanding! Enjoyed the lamb chops, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Highly recommended.
The restaurant is very good!
Great food and service
incredible fish
great food experience ... had a small hiccup when ordering , but the staff was able to rectify it.
The restaurant is great, food is awesome, service is very good and fast, menu has many good options for an affordable price. Ill undoubtedly be back for lunch and dinner.
Super. Sunday and Monday fish special
Food is delicious! Went there this past weekend with a group of 15 people! Food was great and service was great as well! Will definitely come back!
An excellent local restaurant. If you prefer lamb to pork as I do they have a much better selection of Mediterranean food then Marathons. The prices are very reasonable and the staff was friendly and accommodating when I came with my wife and our infant.
