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
We only discovered Stefanos a couple of months ago. The place has the most incredible ambiance. More so than any other place I've been. And the live band is a lot of fun. It is the best dine and dance experience we've ever had, and the place has rapidly become a family favourite.
Friendly staff, Good food, and a nice adult environment. A good place to be at after hard work days.
Love the food, drinks and ambiance at this restaurant. Great place to have an event/bday . I would definitely recommend this place
Amazing place, excellent food, good service and lovely atmosphere!!!
Great restaurant. Many family dinners held here, food was excellent , service A- ONE. Always a great time there was about 25 to 30 people at our gathering and no complaints.
Wonderful, as usual! Wanted to catch the last of Christmas, wonderful service, delicious food! It is one of my favourite places in my favourite city of New Westminster!
• 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.
My Favourite Greek. I discovered Stephanos 4 years ago while working a short stint in New West. Superb Greek food that has had me coming back for years!
The spanakopita tastes great, their ceasar salad dressing is some of the best (very unique), saganaki is delicious, and both their rice and potatoes are very flavourful.Trying their cheesecake is a MUST! It is home made by the owner's family - to die for! It's medium priced, but considering there is nightly entertainment and a very romantic vibe, it makes for a great date place!
Another big bonus - they also take large group reservations on weekends!
Ive been going to Stefanos ever since I was born (21 years) my mom even worked there when she was 16-19. So at least 30 years of wonderful food and great service. We personally know the owners and never had a unsatisfied meal. Best kalamari in town including their tzasiki! Their Saganaki is simply amazing. We are forever customers to Stefanos!
My Favorite Greek Place. The food is always awesome!!!
The best Greek food in new Westminster. Grate to take a date. Live bands and djs on the weekend. A bit costly but the food is worth it. Monday is cheep souvlaki. 10 bucks and a lot of food.
Taking a recommendation from a friend of a friend, we found ourselves at one of the two Greek restaurants, facing each other on Columbia Street. We had missed our chance to complete a diagonal reverse stall parking in front, so were forced to lap around the block. Good thing too as it led us to free parking in the back, with an entrance that didn't require walking upstairs to enter the dining area. It was slow on a Wednesday at 8pm. The GM, Stefan (probably who the restaurant was named after) was working the floor and kitchen along with one server and two kitchen hands. We saw him seating tables in the begin of our dinner, and hosing down the restaurant's exterior when we left. The space was huge with vaulted ceilings and enough room for a stage amongst all the dining tables. On the stage were musical instruments and a large novelty treble clef. The entire place was made alive with abundant greenery. Potted plants balancing on ledges and a forest of leaves and branches assemble in
We used to eat at Stefanos many years ago and fondly recalled the great Greek fare that we had back then. The problem is that we never found our way back here for such a long time. It’s not for lack of trying though…
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. 😀
