Reviews For Ithaka Greek Restaurant

We came here to have dinner with a friend we haven't seen in person for a couple years. The dining area has a relaxed atmosphere. It feels like you're in the Mediterranean. We got the saganaki and the meat platter for four which was the perfect amount for us plus some left overs. The saganaki was great and the pita was soft and warm. The meat platter was a great option if you want a variety of items. Everything on the platter was delicious. It's a bit expensive but split between multiple people it's not bad.

I visited on Valentine’s Day, and they had a special menu for the occasion. Every dish was delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Despite how busy they were, they consistently checked in on our table and made sure we had everything we needed. I’d love to come back to try their regular menu!

This quaint Greek Restaurant in Victoria was amazing. The calamari was the bet I’ve had on the Island. Everything was hot and prepared quickly. We had the platter for four. The service and staff were attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was authentic Greek music as well as the decor. I highly recommend it. Juliet & Dan Spivey

Everyone in our party thought the souvlaki/lamb was excellent. They were very careful about a food allergy that was mentioned to them. Service was very attentive, perhaps almost too attentive, as our waters were refilled almost non-stop (perhaps pitchers for the table would be better?).

What a fun night. Food top notch, excellent service, fun vibe! My Octopus appetizer, Greek Salad and Roasted Lamb Shank Kleftiko were all great. We all shared and loved the Saganaki Flambe - great presentation. All enjoyed their meals. Highly recommend.

Service and food were excellent! We had a great dinner out, good drinks and great food. Portion sizes were decently large, though if you are a big eater, you may need to choose one of the more pricy items which include two types of meat on the plate. A little noisy, but it was mostly expected as a Greek restaurant with so many tables to serve at once. Would recommend getting a reservation if you want to get a table on a busy night.

Amazing place and great service. We had the octopus and the vegetarian platter which was enough to feed 3-4 people. And for dessert we had the sour cherry ice cream, highly recommended. And the service is efficient and friendly

Delicious food, one of my go to spots for when I’m missing Greece. Absolutely loved the Spanakopita and the Moussaka. Calamari was delicious too. Plus the dips were all amazing and the pita was really soft! Some of my previous visits I had ordered some other things off the menu, I found the side of rice and veggies it comes with a little lacking, I remembered I wish there was a more on the plate as well as a little more Tzatziki..But other than that, had great visit with these dishes and I love requesting the patio!
