It was awesome...the waitress and the food
We actually made it to happy hour, it's from 4 to 6 pm . The menu is fantastic for happy hour . We usually go to have dinners but happy hour experience was awesome n whoever can make it try their ouzo prawns yummmmm
Been going to here for years now. Still the same and the best around. Would recommend it to anyone
• located along Columbia street, just a short distance when you get off the skytrain platform; pay street parking from 0800-2000; you can use Passport Canada app for paying to park
• 2 level resto, 1st level is the lounge area (closed when I was there on a Sunday evening). 2nd level, good seating capacity wherein you can invite a big group of people and have your function there
• Food is the usual...
- Appetizer plate: Calamari, Spanakopita, Hummus, Meatballs - fried, baked, its good!
- Roast Lamb - sooo tasty, cooked to perfection but it doesn’t come with the bone which most people prefer. I like it attached and meat falling off the bone tender. A little greasy I find at the end, but the taste, yum!
- of course these are served with rice pilaf, roasted potatoes & Greek salad; the usual
• Service 3/5, when I mean pack my left overs to go, I want everything including the Tzatziki. Unfortunately, it was a group of 30 when I was there so the waitress won’t probably care although she was told to. That’s my only disappointment. Her service is fair, not the best
• if you want to have a quiet, nice dinner for two, this is a good place
• Will be back again for more
I have been to Stefano's several times for lunch and dinner. It is one of the best Greek/Mediterranean restaurants in the lower mainland. My family and friends always rave about the saganaki, kalamari and roast lamb. I read through some of the existing reviews and I can't relate to the negative ones at all. The food and service have always been great! There are not many restaurants that offer live bands, great food and a great atmosphere for special occasions on weekends, and they don't ask you to be out by their next seating like a lot of other restaurants nowadays! In my opinion there aren't many other restaurants that can compare to the overall experience that you can have at Stefano's. It is relaxed and very authentic! Can't wait to go back!
Went to Stefanos with a small group of colleagues for a quick lunch. The service was very prompt and yet still friendly. As soon as we were ready to order our server was there for us abs she took our orders without writing them down. When they were delivered she got all the deliveries correct.
I had the lamb souvlaki lunch special that was $8. It was a very good value. Nice potato, good sized plate of rice and enough lamb to satisfy my lunch hunger. The best part was the Greek salad. All too odeon you get tomatoes that are tasteless. Not today! Perfectly ripe tomatoes with big chunks of cucumber. The feta cheese made for a perfect salad.
Another thing worth noting, the washroom at Stefanos is very modern, clean and well organized. This may seem like an odd thing to mention but too many restaurants don't pay enough attention to the facilities.
I will return and I definitely recommend Stefanos in New Westminster.
Pleasantly surprised!. My Mom and I had heard good things about Stephano's...we went on a Friday long weekend so it was quiet. We proceeded to have one of the best experiences at a restaurant we've ever had. The restaurant is very large with alot of plants, but not junky like some other Greek places. We were impressed at how spotless it was..very nice ambiance. The Roast Lamb was to die for, moist, tender and deelish. The rice pilaf and potatoes were fantastic, not greasy at all, the veggies were all very fresh. We had the Baclava Ice Cream Cake for dessert and it was Fabulous! I would go there for that alone. I cannot say enough about the service, our girls Andrea and Gina were AWESOME!!! They both have been there many years which is unheard of, and they treated us like queens. They are keeping it "old School", which means the best service ( no bimbos here). There was a small live band that played good music...( not just romantic) we ended rockin' on the dance floor which I don't really do..the dance floor is large. Gina had people up and partying! We closed the place down and can't wait to go back. Good job Stephano's!
Very warm welcome!. We came in to celebrate my wife's birthday. I ordered roasted lamb and it was soooo goood!!!! The server make us feel at home as in we feel like we've known her for a long time! She even gave my wife a free cake! And the Baklava Ice Creme Cake! Save some room after the main course. You're dinner won't be complete without it! I promise you, you won't regret it!
And by the way, if you have picky kids, they have some fries and chicken.
Have been coming here for years - best saganaki in town! Never disappointed.
Went on friday... The host was friendley and on the ball... The band was awesome, the food was great.. I recomend this place to everyone!!
Great date spot and the food was exceptional and fast couldn't ask for more
I hosted my work Christmas party here and fun was had by all. The service was perfessional and fast. Food was amazing. The atmosphere was inviting and comfortable yet classy and festive. Stefan, the owner was fantastic to plan and organize with. Had zero problems and danced to their awesome house band till closing. Thanks stefano's for a memorable night.
Delicious food. The upstairs is a great place for a date or large parties. They always have a live band. The downstairs has just been renovated in to a lounge serving Greek tapas that is so good. They have great specials on appy's between 3-6 and tons of tv's for all the sporting events. The owner is always walking around meeting an greeting. The bartenders in the lounge are friendly and enthusiastic. I highly recommend this place.
We ordered take-out this evening, as we had dined in several times in the past, but good food in doesn't necessarily mean good takeout as some dishes just dont translate well. We spoke with Katie and asked her advice on which dishes would work best as take-out. She took the time and effort to help us, detailing the dishes, garnishes, and sides. We went with the platter #2, Halibut, lamb souvlaki, moussaka, prawns and scallops for 2. It was fantastic! (we exchanged the lamb for chicken, done with no concerns). The seafood was cooked perfectly, rice and potatoes were just the right amount of lemon/garlic and the Tzatziki was cool and fresh.We added salp & Pepper wings, and the Souzoukaia (tasty little meatballs with a tomoato sauce and feta), as appies and they were great. The portions were more than adequate, we regrettably had to leave some small amount of rice and potato on our plates as we were STUFFED! We are so happy, we made a point of calling the restaurant to let them know, they were very thankful and happy that we were happy, Katie, you rock! and Rachel too!
Great venue for special events! Co-hosted a bridal shower last month, and it could not have been better. Staff most accommodating and friendly, in planning and serving. Food superb, as always, and costs are fair. Really appreciate you helping to make our day special, thank you!
Went here last night late 30 mins before close and they let us sit down and eat. We always go out like 10-20 people every Saturday night and it's hard to find anywhere in the area to.even take us, sometimes we can't make a reservation we don't know how many people will come. Definitely going to make this place first on our list to try.
Food was 10, service was 10 and quality and how they treated us was 10. I'm vegan and although they didn't have any thing vegan on the menu the knowledgeable waitress got me exactly what I wanted. It was delicious, thanks.
A fantastic restaurant, large place able to accommodate many people at a table, great for family/business gatherings. The staff is friendly and efficient. This latest visit, I enjoyed the Chicken & Prawns fettuccine in a creamy tomato sauce. Very tasty, I’d have ordered more if I had the room! There was a great band playing music that didn’t overwhelm conversation and added to the warm environment. Definitely go here to have a great time!
Food was awesome! Ambience is very pretty and nice especially during Christmas time!! Great place for big group.
Wonderful decor and legacy and authenticity. Food was really good. Mothers Day was insane there and the staff did an amazing job serving everyone. Shout out to Angela our server and Stefan the Manager/proprietor. Really nice people and worked so hard so that we could enjoy a special Mother's Day. 😀
