    We have enjoyed and dined here on numerous occasions. We dined here on the weekend and quite honestly was disappointed... in the past with our grand daughter the skewer of souvlaki chicken and fries was complimentary when spending $ 470.00 The prices are definitely a lot higher now(32-34$ for appetizers!)for the price the filet steak (69$) I had was ok but nothing special

    As always Chris knocked it out of the park, this time with choosing our menu for us. I brought 3 friends that had not dined here before. The entire experience was to date the best one. Thank you for elevating out business meeting Chris and for the special anniversary treat!

    Our main reservation about Hydra was that the waitress repeatedly came to remove plates and glasses before we had quite finished.

    The server was very professional and helpful. We were seated quickly and the food was amazing. We got sat by the window which was the icing on the cake. It was my guests birthday and they asked if we wanted dessert, we assumed that we got to pick her birthday treat. Yet the dessert and birthday treat came out. We should’ve been warned, in my opinion but other than that small detail it was perfect!

    Atmosphere is really nice, the hosts/hostesses provided really great service. We felt the waitress was fine but only truly nice/showing any emotion towards the end when asking for a good review. We ate a late lunch so we only did drinks, tuna tartare, and the flatbread - all was good! Overall would recommend.

    I am always well taken care of when dining here. I brought a friend who had not been before and she loved it. From service to food, the experience was perfect. Thanks to Chris and the team for excellent service as always!

    Had a great dinner! Service is top notch, food is great. We started with the hummus platter which was delicious and then moved onto the chicken souvlaki and the chicken was super delicious tender. The salmon was also amazing and the prawns were delicious. It was nice as we booked last minute and they had seating available. Great underrated spot in downtown Vancouver
