It’s ok we been there a couple of time because we we go on the south shore often one time we ask to have our bread heated he said no Never heard that before the other vieux Duluth the bread is hot also music loud sometimes it’s just ok the rice is better than before they are cheap compared to others in portions the best vieux Duluth is Granby outstanding we love vieux Duluth but this one is not our favorite.

So I dined here july 5 2024. Very cramped and stuffy. But beautiful decor and mildly comfy chairs (booths look better tho). Service was AMAZING but rather long. Our waitress was great but spread thin. She did her best with a smile. The food. Now this may be my bad for ordering steak at a Greek restaurant. The steak was cold upon arrival and the cut was full of unchewable cartilage. The fries were under cooked and soggy and my salad was DROWNING in dressing. To wich I was told "oh its best to get the dressing on the side" how about it's best to not drown the salad it's not hard😅🤷‍♂️. Mushrooms soup was GREAT, really good. I recommend 👌. Sadly for 38$ plus tip I was rather dissapointed.

As always enjoy eating at this restaurant. Quality and quantity of the food is always excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant for a couples meal or a family get together to celebrate an occasion 😊

Disgusting presentation. Ordered delivery and looks like I got leftovers. Chicken not cooked well. Potatoes not cooked well and no seasoning. Rice looked like someone picked over it . Not hot -and don’t tell me this is normal. I have ordered delivery in other locations and it was in time, delicious, hot, well cooked and doesn’t look like someone ate through it. The franchise owner in this location needs to improve.

Had a good meal and the place is very nice, service was good at first until I found a piece of plastic packaging in my meal (mixed in with the salad). Corner piece and was torn off so the edges were sharp. If I had swallowed that it would've sucked big time. I didn't make a fuss, I didn't ask for a free meal, I didn't ask for a free drink, I asked for nothing (I didn't even get the chance to if I wanted to). I mentioned it to the waiter, "hey, i found this mixed in with my salad, i just wanted to let you know." and was left with "No you didn't. We don't use any packaging like this in here" and tossed it down on the plate, followed by a very attitudey "huh, wonder where you found that from". We asked for his name a few times and he didn't want to give it to us so I can only refer to him as "the heavier set Italian fellow". I dont feel bad for not tipping :)

First time in old Duluth. Not as good as the one in St-Basile. The sauce on my steak was salty to the point that I scraped it off. But what irritated us most was the time before we got our meal, exactly 45 minutes after ordering. After 30 minutes we asked the waitress, who was super nice, and she told us that they took care of the groups before us. First time we have experienced this in a Duluth, probable lack of staff.

Excellent service, very attentive and well-versed with large groups. We appreciate that there is no music in the dining room because we can then hear each other talking. We recommend ++ and we are going back with friends. :-) Kid-friendliness: High chair and booster available. Impeccable for small families.

I would have put zero but that s not possible! The service? There wasn t even one LOL. We werent even asked if we wanted drinks. Have you ever seen that? My sons plate of pasta was so unedible, we put it on the edge of the table and then stayed there all along with the finished soup just to tell you how crappy the service is! On the other hand, when you ask for the invoice the smile suddenly appears! They dont even ask us why our child didnt eat his pasta. We prefer to sigh No manager available, employees passing by dont even look at us.. I asked if possible to heat my bread at the beginning, that must have been the mistake I made to ask that! I was told Oh no, we don t heat bread here, we re not allowed Um okay! Yuck To avoid

I had ordered a fillet of walleye they served me a dry fish with no flavor my friend found a large hair in her skewer the salad tasted like vinegar in short an unedible meal and lousy service we had to ask the waiter 3 times to open our bottle of wine in short I do not recommend

Noisy room, crowded restaurant, mediocre cuisine, tasteless food and questionable vegetables, excessive prices, broken dishes, dirty benches. The only time the waiter was eager was when collecting his tip. Very bad experience, not to be repeated. Vegetarian options: No vegetarian option and no worthy legacy on the menu. I left the restaurant angry with a clear feeling that I had been cheated.

★★★

Restaurant supposedly serving Greek cuisine, but which is mainly focused on grilled meats. So, nothing very complicated. And nothing to do with all the variety of Greek cuisine. The very strong and very white lighting, the decor itself very white, lacks a little warmth. The service saves the whole experience: smiling, friendly and very cordial staff. Vegetarian options: Most disappointing aspect of the menu: only one vegetarian option in the main courses, and which is essentially a plate of starters. This is surprising for a Greek restaurant: Greece is full of vegetarian dishes!

A restaurant chain like any other. The decor is pleasant, the service friendly and the food very decent. I would nevertheless add one condition to the very long list of those on the menu (see the photos): if the filo pastry is not golden when it comes out of the oven, that means that the spanakopita is not cooked enough. Besides, I dont know what is more insulting: a dentist who threatens to charge $15 more if we miss an appointment or a restaurant who charges $7 more if we share a plate.

Saturday 6:00 p.m. Do not show up at this time as it is very busy. We waited 50 minutes for our plate. My skewer was cold, like straight from the fridge. The rice and potatoes were hot. The house offered us dessert (cheesecake) but the piece was still half frozen. The presentation was ordinary but ok. Ultimately, I like Casa Grecque 100x better.

The service was fast, not a lot of waiting even though the place was full. Love was calm and relaxed. The owner (Pedro) is very friendly. Parking: There is plenty of parking, not directly in front of the door but within walking distance. Wheelchair accessibility: There is an access ramp to access the restaurant for easy entry/exit.

I honestly cant understand why this restaurant is so busy. I ate better in Cuba. The undercooked pork, the steak is full of nerves, the salad worthy of my university meals, white rice and obviously no alcohol. The waitress has absolutely no idea of her menu, no gluten-free Same menu in 2023? , $30 plates for prison food. Very bad experience. My stomach is broken, worse than in my first trip to shady hotels in Cuba. Horrible all round, there were 12 of us and none of us were satisfied. Im sorry.
