    Great experience at Volos. Tuesday night we had a group client dinner and the food/service was fantastic (server was Jan). Because of my experience Tuesday night, I took my parents back Wednesday night for dinner and again had a fantastic experience - food was again fantastic and the service was wonderful too (our server the second night was Mimosa, she was lovely and gave extra care to me and my parents). Both nights, all staff was very attentive and you could ask anyone for anything and they were happy to help right away. Highly recommend this place for both business and personal meals.

    Beautiful room, serious excellent informed service (wait staff and kitchen staff who brings out the food on occasion), perfectly done dishes - on the smaller side but exactly as it should be. This is an expensive restaurant but not unusually so for a great restaurant (which it really is) in Toronto.

    Even on a Monday night, we enjoyed a spectacular dining experience with our out-of-town guests from LA. The atmosphere was vibrant, the service impeccable, and each dish was a perfect blend of flavor and presentation. Our guests were thoroughly impressed, making it a truly memorable evening filled with great food and even better company.
