   My husband said the lamb chops were the best he has ever eaten - and he has eaten a lot of lambchops! The shrimp skewers were huge - and four on each skewer and done perfectly. The warm olives were so good - as was the rest of the food and drink. There were a number of large parties seated around us - so our server was a bit overwhelmed - but the manager came and helped out - which made a huge difference. We will definately be back and also want to try out the happy hour.

   We had lunch twice at Hydra. The whole sea bream was wonderful, as was the souvlaki platter. Great dips, pita, veggies. Service was prompt and the interior is tranquil. Highly recommend.

   Terrible server with no recall. Lamb was recommended for 4-6 ppl but the sides were barely enough for 1 person. 3/4 wines we asked for were out of stock. When they finally did have one for us, the server forgot about it. The server also seemed to think it was ok to pet my friend after he accidentally hit her on the head with a pitcher of water. That was just bizarre. Overall, a poor dining experience all around. Food was mediocre for those prices and service was definitely lacking professionalism. I’d recommend “The Greek” for really good Greek food and the best saganaki in town!

    Very, very nice place. Food was outstanding. Service very good except for some issues with seating. Despite a reservation there was some issue with finding a table for our party of two. The host tried to steer us away from the main dining room to the downstairs bar or the back of a overflow room despite visible open tables in the main dining room.

    High quality food, service and ambience. Although it is connected to a hotel it has the feel of an independent restaurant albeit somewhat of a discovery with its' second floor location. Highly recommended.

    We celebrated my best friend’s birthday dinner there. The ambience is lovely, the service and food GREAT—but it’s NOISY. We couldn’t really have a good conversation, because we couldn’t hear each other. The trattorias I have been to in both Italy and Greece at least allowed one to converse easily with one’s dinner-mate. But if you don’t mind the noise, it’s a great place to eat!!

    We went to Hydra for my birthday on my sister's recommendation as she was saying how great the food was, especially the lamb chops. We ordered the grilled octopus which was fantastic, very tender. The brussel sprouts and dips with pita tasted great as well. However, the lamb was a big disappointment. While the plating looked good, the 3 double chops of lamb lacked flavour and were very fatty and - except for the small loin part, the rest was pretty much all fat and sinew (quite gross). I told this to one of the servers who asked how my lamb was but he just said it was Australian and it was fattier than normal but didn't offer a replacement or to take it off the bill. For the price of $59, I was expecting better quality meat.

    Our experience was a good one, but unfortunately our our food was cold and not up to our expectations after reading the other reviews. I feel like they wanted to turn our table over as quickly as possible. We had a great server though that was very attentive.

    First time here. Location is great right inside the xchange hotel. Drinks were nice. Food was okay - I definitely need to give it a second try to be fair because the dishes beside me looked fabulous. Our server John was running off his feet with two large groups but he held us own. Final verdict to be determined. I do recommend for others to try.

    Roman was a friendly a very helpful server. He assisted in mail and wine recommendations that were spot on. The calamari was prepared differently than we anticipated, but the best I have had. The lamb chops were worthy of gnawing the bone and the tuna was delicious. We saw new friends at the bar on the way out and were treated to an amazing cocktail prepared by Nyck that he called the Golden Bird.

    This was the worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. We were taking out a friend from out of town. Food was undercooked, no one attended to us for the first 30 minutes. They forgot what we ordered multiple times and the servers were absolutely awful, they saw us looking around for our drinks/food and didn’t even come by. I don’t know how this place is still up and running. Beyond disappointed.

    Elegant restaurant close to waterfront. Amazing happy hour choices. Been back twice now and keep going back. Oysters are medium sized, lamb keftedes are delicious, and the pitas with the spreads are my favorites. If you must have dessert, the bougatsa is enough for 3 or 4 people and is not cloyingly sweet. The serving staff are attentive and friendly. You won't be disappointed inviting friends or family here. Nicely posh.

    Food was not good. Saganaki was warm, I expect it to be hot after being lighted. The grilled octopus was cut in little pieces and served warm also with some greens (I am not sure if this is a special way of serving this dish but not the way I expect grilled octopus to be served). We ordered a whole fish which was grilled. My impression was the fish was not grilled enough. The fish' bone were removed. Unfortunately in a not good way that is an awful lot of bones were left in the meat. The service was not good, very slow and at times the staff did not know where some of the food should go to. It was one of multiple restaurants I went to that I was truly disappointed about in Vancouver but maybe I compared this restaurant to Toronto's Danforth Greek area.

    Beautiful room. Quite noisy, partly because of a large group but also because this is another restaurant which has chosen to have a bar in the same space. The servers seemed to be a bit confused at first (perhaps someone was absent?) but settled down after a while and became quite good. Our food was excellent, particularly our main of whole grilled sea bream. Servers were friendly and efficient. Overall a pleasurable experience but we may hesitate to go back because of the noise level.

    Creative presentations and delicious food all around. The eggplant mezze (don’t think we can call it baba ganoush!) was really special. The family style dinners were amply sized and suitable for three or four. We will definitely return - even the persnickety among our group of six we’re happy!
