It was a good dining experience. Friendly staff...until the bill arrived.
I was having dinner with four friends and the server, David, had split the bill two ways -- Seat 1 and Seat 2, and we're not sure why he did that.
Seat 1 was for one person and then David combined the other three people's bill as Seat 2. I mentioned to him that Seat 2's bill is three individuals so it should be split. He said he knows that, did the calculations in his head on the spot and told us our individual totals. I actually didn't hear him say that (whereas my friend did) so that was my error. I repeated again that Seat 2 should be split. David got a little irritated and said, "You aren't listening", and repeated himself again. We still didn't quite understand what was going on because we were so fixated on Seat 2 being three people's bill and that was a mistake on our part. Then David went back to his register and re-printed our bills separately and came back saying, "Here are your separate bills because you didn't believe me".
David, if you see this review, I apologize for not hearing what you were explaining but you didn't have to add that comment about us not believing you. My friends and I talked about what happened and we all agree we misunderstood the bill because we never saw a bill split in that way before.
Not a huge issue, I still tipped 18% even though our meal ended on a sour note.
I'm in love with the ambience of this restaurant- it truly is decorated with Greek vibes. When my friend and I went, it was just before Halloween and the waiter was dressed in a cute Minnie mouse costume, which I loved. We each ordered one small Stephos' souvlakia. I ordered the chicken one, which I really enjoyed. Even though I ordered the small size, the portion was really big and I was left full. They also offer free pita bread to accompany your dish.
The prices depicted on their Zomato are different; when I went it was more expensive. I think the souvlakia was around $2 more when I went. But it's definitely worth it- I loved the food there so much!
This is one of the places in Vancouver where you’d normally wait for almost an hour to be seated luckily enough when we got here it was just a bit almost lunch time so we got a table pretty quickly after we got seated a party of 40 people arrived (yay for our timing!). We got the Saganaki and the Lamb Souvlaki which were both really yum and their serving is really big! The staff were very friendly and I like the quaintness of the place. I will definitely go back to this restaurant when I’m back in Vancouver! ❤️
