Hydra Estiatorio Mediterranean

It was much better than I expected. Food was amazing. Service was good too.

Awesome awesome food. Cool decor. Loved it

Sides and appies were good. Service was slow for an empty place and disorganized. Fish was rubbery and salty beyond the point where it was edible - had to be sent back. 3 people were left without a main due to the major screw up with the fish, and we felt the restaurant didn't compensate fairly for how major their screw up was.

Go here if you want to pay fine dining prices for amateur performance.

Very good Mediterranean grilled fish. Nice sides, excellent service. Never been here before and would definitely go back.

Great service and food

Everything was wonderful! The service was empicable, the entrees were art! It was all fabulous.
Thank you so much for a wonderful evening! We will definitely be back!

This is one of the best restaurants in Vancouver. Our server, Zoran, and the GM, Cindy, were so wonderful. The food was also so delicious. Hands down the best baklava I’ve had in Canada. 100% will be coming back and having this restaurant as our regular spot.

Amazing oysters and really nice ambience!

The food was absolutely delicious and the service was over the top. Zoran and our waitress were very professional and made our dining experience very enjoyable. We will be recommending Hydra to all our family and friends.

Beautiful ambience with exceptional service and delicious food! The crystal stemware was gorgeous and made our drinks even more special. Even item we ordered was beyond yummy. We shared the signature lamb platter and it was more than enough for 4 of us, and we came home with leftovers. The souvlaki was also amazing.

It was our first dine-in experience since covid protocols were lifted and I would highly recommend this place.

A night to be remembered! The restaurant itself is gorgeous. The food matched the aesthetics. We had tzatziki, spanakopita, tomato salad and lamb chops. Every dish was delicious. Our hostess Claire made our night very memorable with her attention. The cherry on top was finding out she treated us the wine as we were celebrating our 21st anniversary. What a generous gesture! That’s hospitality at its finest. Thank you Claire! Can’t wait to come back once the dining restrictions are lifted.

The food was good, the service was good, the safety protocols were good. No one was blown away by thier meal but everyone was happy with everything ordered. Nothing was bad! Would go again.

The family style platters are delicious and the portions very generous. The Lamb was cooked to perfection and I highly recommend this dish

Service was amazing! She went above and beyond for us.

If you read all the other reviews on this restaurant, they are all true. Our sever was nice and it was his second day, so we just sat back and enjoyed the evening. Don’t go here if you’re in a rush.

Great food and service

Highly recommend this place safe and spacious. food was awesome and got the best service

Great menu, ambience and service combined with a fantastic wine list

Manager and team do not communicate affectively.

Resulting in my fiancé’s credit card information paying for another bill. Upon my inquiring the manager was very combative and argumentative.

My fiancé wanted to surprise my family and I by calling in to pay for our dinner. Instead, we had to stay around for another 30 mins to wait for the manager to figure out what happened (which he didn’t) and I ended up paying in cash.

I called the manager yesterday after seeing the charge on my fiancé’s card, and he said he would issue the refund immediately. It’s been over 48 hours and it has still not been posted and we have not had an email reply from them at all.

Completely unprofessional.

Amazing lamb!

We came here with the kids to try the DOV menu. But we ended up ordering a leg of lamb platter with appies instead. The food was delicious and the lamb was cooked perfectly. Even our kids, aged 8 and 11, were asking for more. Then we were curious about the fish, so we ordered a fish platter as well. We had it baked with the sea salt. They brought the fish and cut it at our table. Since we had looked at the DOV menu initially, I had my eye on the Greek Donuts for dessert. Unfortunately, it wasn't on their regular dessert menu. Our server was kind and checked if we get it anyway. So we ordered that as well as the Bougatsa! We were beyond satisfied with our whole dinner experience!

I can't wait until COVID is over. I'd love to share a few platters with all of my family at Hydra!

Not worth it if you are looking for fine dining. We were seated very close to a server traffic area which was uncomfortable— someone was constantly moving behind me. Food was meh—nothing compared to other Mediterranean places we have tried. We were excited to try their dine out menu but was quite bland. Ambience was okay and our wait staff was nice.

A beautiful dining experience! Great food and wonderful service. We really enjoyed the meal!!

Valentine’s Day

I was so excited when I got the spot for 4 to this place because tiktok hypes it up, eventhough it was a very late dinner for us which is 20:15 on Valentines Day.

We got into the hotel entrance, took the elevator to the 2nd floor and checked in with the lady for my reservation. She guided us to our spot which is downstairs. While walking downstair, I was so stunned with the decor so I got even more excited. But then she put us to a spot which was very close to the stairs where servers kept walking around and to the door which was very cold. I dont know if they don't have any other better spots but it was a crappy spot for 4 asians. All white people there expect for us. I didnt feel welcome. I didnt feel special.

Another lady asked our reservation name again when we sat down. I was confuse why they asked again when the lady upstairs did already.

We sat down. We noticed all the tables had candles lit expect ours. No cutleries prepared. No nothing! Sat there for 10mins noone noticed us. A guy gave a menu threw it on the table, just in case we need it. (They have scan menu too) Didnt even say his name. We asked to lit the candle, no apoligies heard for leaving letting us sit on a dark table.

We wanted to try their valentines menu because of the obvious reason. Hello?! Its valentines.

We then tried to asked questions about the Valentines menu. Guess what? Out of stock! On the Valentines itself. Again, no sorry. Server wasnt friendly or didnt even try to explain the options we can get instead.

I was very disappointed! A very fancy resto with no manners at all.

We then decided to call gotham if they have a spot for us instead. I am happy that they have. We left the table. I dont think they even notice.

I am happy we left! We ate a better meal and got the service we deserved.

Super friendly and a nice atmosphere. The food was nice. Would go back

Great staff, delicious food, definitely coming back

Great food and awesome wines. Ive been to this restaurants two times and I think its one of mt favourite in Vancouver.

Beautiful atmosphere. Hidden gem. Great service and amazing food. Wish I discovered it sooner !

The food was just OK. Very nice interior design...

Great service and Fantastic food! We had the whole salt baked Branzino and it was delicious, some of the best fish we have ever eaten.

Our server was excellent and knew about all the different dishes. He suggested wonderful options and we were not disappointed.
The sommelier on duty was also excellent with a superb choice of wine to accompany our meal.
Just when I thought I was full, we HAD to try ALL three desserts... YUMMY!!!

It was great! Fabulous service, great food! Will definitely be back!

Try the specials they are usually quite interesting and well priced. Had a huge platter for 2 with meat (lamb, steak, chicken and also the most delicious prawns) for $78 added a couple starters and had enough to bring home for a midnight snack.
Cocktail list is unique if you are into that. Not my thing, but, I appreciate the option 🤗

Although we found the restaurant upstairs was not operating, we were greeted and taken downstairs to the bar area to a nice table there. The food was very good and interesting along with some traditional Greek dishes. We especially enjoyed the octopus. Service was attentive.

The service was very good and the food was delicious.

Absolutely divine experience - food and service were outstanding! Salmon dish was to die for... will be back!

Great food and wine. Service was also good.

The food and service were amazing!

The food was amazing. The staff were extremely friendly.
