Neighbourhood gem

A fine-dining Mediterranean restaurant that couples the freshness of traditional Greek cuisine with a modern white-washed atmosphere. The walls are adorned with old black and white photos of Greece, a nod to our namesake, which is the origin of “nostalgia.” Our healthy menu has guaranteed returning customers and consists of daily fresh fish, popular lamb dishes, and several vegetarian selections. The Aegean-inspired airy ambiance makes Nostos a romantic choice for a date night; while our private room options make it ideal for special parties or corporate events.

Main dining room was a bit crowded and noisy, so we moved to the bar area. Wonderful service and great value for the food - overall a nice experience.

Another fabulous evening at Nostos - the dinner was fabulous from the beginning to the end. We had the trio of dips to start, then the avgolemeno soup. That could have been more lemony, but a delicious soup nonetheless. The halibut special was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the meat sampler (small) appetizer was More than enough for an entree meal and the lamb shank perfectly tender. Our desserts were likewise imaginative. The staff was attentive and polite.

First time with my wife. Enjoyed the experience. Our seats were bit too close to others. I was brushed up against every time a server or other customer was passing through. My lamb was excellent and my wife enjoyed her branzino. Our appetizer calamari was on the bit.Salty side, but otherwise fresh and good. Greek salad was excellent as well, but little too stingy, with the content for the price. We'll go back and try other dishes in the future
