Despite
the
dining
room
being
empty,
the
service
and
food
quality
was
far,
far
below
the
incredible
fare
and
service
I'm
used
to
at
The
Astoria
on
The
Danforth.
It's
taken
three
bad
experiences
to
give
this
outlet
of
one
of
my
absolutely
favourite
restaurants
the
review
the
Newmarket
abomination
of
Astoria
truly
deserves.
(This
last
and
final
time)
Rather
than
seat
our
party
of
3
at
a
single
table
we
were
placed
at
two
tables
set
up
for
six
(3
chairs
side
by
side)
one
of
which
was
wobbly.
When
we
moved
to
a
single
table,
we
were
chastised
by
the
person
impersonating
a
waitress
for
not
sitting
at
"The
Bigger
Table"
that
she
suggested.
The
service
was
miserable.
I
ordered
saganaki,
which
was
ignited
behind
me
and
close
enough
to
me
that
it
frizzed
my
hair.
The
time
between
appetizers
and
the
main
course
was
half
an
hour
and
when
it
came,
the
lamb
I
ordered
was
over
cooked.
By
that
time
we
felt
full
and
left
two
thirds
of
the
meals
to
be
thrown
away.
Drink's
were
taken
away
for
refill
that
were
still
half
full.
But
this
was
almost
expected,
as
on
previous
visits
I'd
been
served
salads
with
the
produce
labels
still
on
the
tomatoes
at
this
sorry
excuse
for
an
Astoria
restaurant.
I
could
go
on,
but
will
conclude
with
my
VERY
strong
suggestion
that
you
reconsider
and
go
elsewhere.
That
is
unless
you
don't
mind
dining
surrounded
by
people
who
have
settled
for
mediocrity.
You
really
deserve
better.
There
are
many
terrific
Greek
restaurants
in
the
area
and
if
you
feel
that
you
absolutely
must
have
Astoria,
I
would
have
normally
suggested
that
you
drive
to
Toronto
for
the
real
deal,
however
I
haven't
been
there
in
years
and
fear
that
this
outlet
may
be
aping
the
possible
decline
of
the
original
on
the
Danforth.
