Penelope Restaurant is named after an ancient Greek mythological figure. We have been in business since 1994, and are located at 225 King Street West, in the Entertainment District, downtown Toronto.
Four us before a show at the Royal Alexandria - so definitely convenient - especially with the free parking in the metro centre available.
Service was good and prompt. Food was tasty. However, portion size could have been bigger, especially for the price! I had chicken souvlaki with all greek salad on the side (asked for no potatoes, not rice, no carbs for me) and it was $19. One skewer of chicken with 5 pieces of meat on it. My husband had the pork souvlaki, $20, and had to pay another $5 for a tiny greek salad on the side. $14 for saganaki. Again, good, but would have been great if portions were a little bigger and or prices were a little cheaper.
hot bods, hot food, hot service and very good atmosphere all a round. We loved it all the way. Ordered chicekn and came with a big smile. Man I love it. I recomend it for sure.
Every time I go it is the same service. The Maitre d always makes time to make me feel welcome and has more than once seated me without a reservation. The wait staff are prompt and courteous and very accommodating when I have time constraints, to catch a show mostly.
BUT it is the food that brings me back. I have never been disappointed with anything. It is by far the best calamari and lamb that I have ever had.
