Reviews for Hydra Estiatorio in Vancouver, BC
Had quite the family dinner here tonight. I don’t have a solid restaurant comparison but felt the beef and chicken souvlakis... were very dry and tough. Our favourite dish was the lobster pasta, hummus spread and chocolate mousse dessert. While I’veheard good things about this place, I’m not sure I would repeat. Read more
Well deserved five-star rating for me. I called in for a table for three, luckily we got a table before the dinner rush. The... place was elegant with the Mediterranean decor around and wow, they got good taste in music as well. The staff were friendlyand attends to your needs. Starting from the lady that answered the call for our reservation to the server. The food was great!I tried their juicy lamb chops, a lavender-scented cocktail, and a crunchy custard-filled dessert with chocolate poured on top(this was DELICIOUS). We'll surely be back again (: Read more
Nice place located in downtown Vancouver by Canada Place. Came here for happy hour and was pleasantly surprised. Tried three... different food options on the menu and had the red wine to drink. All were good and will come back again to try more options.Staff was friendly and it was a nice atmosphere. Recommend if your in the area. Read more
Apparently this place is coming up on its 3rd anniversary but undiscovered by Vancouver I feel. We visited for lunch and loved... all of the food, wine and very attentive service. It’s not a Greek taverna feel you typically associate with Greek food onDavie St. Or Burnaby - this is a well appointed business hotel lunch location, but you won’t be out of place for a celebratorydinner. All of the food was fresh and flavorful. I’m sure I’m coming back again soon. Read more
We came here twice, they have happy hour everyday from 3-6pm with buck a shuck. The service here is really great, staff are nice... and friendly. Interior decor is really nice too. Flavour of food is more on the 4 star side, could be more flavourful andseasoned. Overall, I’d recommend coming here for the happy hour! Read more
This is a lovely place downtown. Easy to miss because it is located on the second floor of the Exchange Hotel (the old Vancouver... Stock Exchange). I’m not familiar with Mediterranean food but I heard it's healthy. I blindly ordered a dish and waspleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the meal - tasty, well portioned and excellent presentation. I was especially impressed with theserver who allowed us to taste various wine (with generous pours) to land on the one that suited our meal best. It felt like ahealthy, sufficient meal and good experience overall. Read more
Stopped by for happy hour and really enjoyed it! I almost missed the restaurant because the bottom level is a little dark but... rest assured - the restaurant is open and it’s so nice upstairs! The happy hour menu is great from 3-6pm. $5 white, red,rose, bubbles, beer. $8 feature cocktail. All delicious. The oysters are quite nice - daily buck a shuck. Perhaps one of themost affordable spots in town. Tasted fresh with nice condiments. All the small bites are $10. My friend and I got the hydraspreads - super yummy dips with the pita. We also got the kalamari but was disappointed by the small portion of squid. Not worththe $10, so would recommend skipping. Read more
Got off to a rocky start as our table wasn’t ready at our reserved time so the hostess sat us at the bar for 40 minutes.... Finally my wife asked the hostess how much longer. Then we were sat immediately which leads me to think she forgot about us. BUTafter that we were very happy. The service upstairs was very friendly and made us feel at home (or better yet in Greece!). Thedecor is upscale. A beautiful space. The food is absolutely the best Greek I’ve ever had. Unique dishes with their own flair.The wine list is easy to trust. Highly recommend for Date night or group of friends. Read more
