"Best Greek in Calgary"
Ann
April 2011 — "
I have dined at Santorini's many times. I enjoy the traditional décor at this restaurant with the white and blue colours. It really makes me feel like I'm in Greece with the bouzuki music.. The food is very traditional with all the favourites. The prices are a little high but I find that the best value is to get the hot or cold combo platters. You can easily split a platter for three to four people and maybe get some extra side dishes. The server we had was very attentive with frequent refills for water, etc."

"interesting place"
March 2011 — "Went for dinner and the place was packed on a Saturday night. There were large parties and everyone was having fun. Had the lamb and it was delicious. The entire meal was great. The server was good but none of the wait staff looked happy. The lady at the front was rude, I think they need to concentrate on service a bit more , but the food was exceptional"

"traditional with no boundaries"Ken
January 2011 — "In my personal opinion,To get an original greek experience you really have to try their not so popular items only for the simple reason of knowing deep down this is what they really eat in Greece.Every time I go to the santorini I receive that truly unique experience.The inside of the lovely place is full of culture,full of history,you get a real understanding of what its all about walking in alone.Its so legit and authentic.I love how you can impress a date by coming here.Great background music and I love the lamb.Other than in the odd donair I don't normally have lamb,but always look forward to it when they make it.It doesn't cost an arm and a leg.Very well priced and the meet isn't too dark or gamey.Its not so strong either so I don't necessarily have to reach for the tic tacs so quick.This place is my top pick for traditional Greek food at affordable pricing."

"Not the best Greek experience"
Susan
June 2009 — "I wanted to try something different for a change so a friend and I decided to try Greek for the first time (besides the local fast food chains, which I’m not sure if it counts). The atmosphere was great and the place is very cozy. There was a belly dancer that took us by surprise but it was something different so totally welcomed. We ordered the combination platter as recommended by the waiter. This was really a royal sampler; it came with mousaka, lamb souvlaki, kalmari, dolamathes, and spanakopita. The lamb souvlaki and kalarmari were delicious! But these are only appetizer type foods. We didn’t enjoy the other items and mousaka is supposed to be a national dish of Greece. The taste was just not very good so I think we just picked the wrong restaurant. I don’t recommend going here just based on the items we’ve tried. Perhaps their seafood is a better choice."

"Fantastic evening!"Kate
January 2009 — "This was our first visit so the waiter gave us some suggestions, we selected the Greek meal which comes with appetizers (saganaki, calamari, greek meatballs, salad, pita with hummus) followed by roast lamb and potatoes. The food was filling and delicious. Also took the waiter's suggestion for a greek wine which was also very nice. I wouldn't order the meatballs again, they were good, but nothing special. Would have liked dessert to come with, but they did offer us a complimentary ouzo. Lovely meal, nice belly dancer, very good service! My new favourite restaurant!"

"Great Greek!"Sarah
March 2008 — "I hadn't been to Santorini in over 15 years, so when a friend suggested we go for dinner there I jumped on the chance. Since I was last there they have renovated the interior and it's much better than before - different levels and more intimate. My husband and I arrived first, so we ordered a bottle of wine. We weren't sure what kind to get, so the server suggested something and let us try the house wine. We opted for a Greek wine, which was very tasty. The four of us all ordered appetizers, I had the spanakopita and it was delicious. For the main course I ordered chicken souvlaki, which was very enjoyable. During our meal a belly dancer started to perform. She came to our table and made my friend's husband dance with her, it was highly amusing and really added to the ambiance. We'll definitely go back to Santorini in the future. The service was great and the food was satisfying."

"Restaurant needs to be renovated."Mary
October 2007 — "The gentlemen who took my reservation should have told me their would be a belly dancer there for about 20 min. In those 20 min the music was way too loud. You couldnt carry on a conversation and you were forced to watch the entertainment because there was nothing else you could do. The bathrooms were quite old and dirty looking and where we were seated was a bit tight and not enough lighting. I dont believe I will be going back there again. The food was pretty good and the server was well informed and provided very good costumer service. "

"OPA!"
Corbet
November 2005 — "A Centre Street staple, Santorini's offers some of the finest Greek dining in the city. I have been going their for over 20 years and am always treated to a fulfilling meal in a fun, lively atmosphere. The varied menu offers something for everyone and the items are priced quite reasonably. Make sure to try the baklava, it's delish."
