Come savor an appetizing creation at Naxos Grill & Bar. They are open nightly all week. You can get there by car. The neighboring location is memorable for its merchants. You may pay by American Express, MasterCard and Visa.
Me and some friends were travelling around the city searching for somewhere new to eat and discovered Naxos. We had heard about it before and decided to go in and give it a try. The atmosphere was upbeat but at the same time very relaxing. We were quickly greeted and seated and proceeded to order. We started off with some sort of flaming cheese dish as an appetizer. It was very delicious. After that we all had assorted meals including pasta (Try the jumbalaya, best bang for your buck out of any pasta) We were greeted by the owner Penny who thanked us for coming and that was one of the best parts of the night. Its rare when you go to a place and the people are happy to serve you and make you feel welcomed. We will be back for sure!
I vist this resturant all the time, and Penny and the Staff are amazing.
Penny always checks on you to make sure everything is ok. I have never been disapointed with a meal there in my life. They have always made me feel like family.
I will be going there tommorow for breakfast because the greek omlet is great. I recommend this place to all my friends, and usually visit once a week.
My husband sums it up like this "It feels like you're not in Thunder Bay anymore" The food at Naxos is always amazing, portions do vary - I enjoy the Chicken souvlaki (Skewered chicken, potatoes, rice, veggies and AMAZING greek salad) and it's just enough for me. However my friends ordered a pasta dish and there was more than enough to share! The free dips and bread have certainly expanded my palatte and encouraged me to try flavours I might not have.
Their desserts are out of this world! I wish I could eat them all.
Penny is an amazing owner/manager - she always comes over to talk to you and makes you feel like she's happy you're there. Feeling like a regular makes you want to be one. I was lucky enough to be there once when they had the Greek music going and the waitstaff were dancing - it was amazing!
This is my favorite restaurant in Thunder Bay. It has the atmosphere of a high-end restaurant, but the casual feel of a neighbourhood place.
I had the special that night... "jimmy's jambalya".. and let me say, it was fantastic.. I would go back JUST for that.. great big pieces of shrimp, local sausage and a kick to it that was just perfect so that even my wife could enjoy it.
Also had the grape leaf rolls (can't remember what they were called, but they were cabbage roll-esque), and was quite impressed.. the sauce they came in was amazing..
only downfall, which was quite minor overall, was the dipping sauce for the bread roasted red pepper.... kinda tasted like miracle whip... so, not great, but was still quite good.
the owners came out and greeted us towards the end of our meal and we had a brief conversation.. really made it that much more personable and even gave us the history behind my dish (the original owner jimmy had passed a month ago and had this recipe, so it was to honour him)..
Well worth the drive across town, will definetly be going back.. can only hope the jambalaya is the special that day!
Having never been to Naxos, one evening i decided...
Having never been to Naxos, one evening i decided to take my spouse to give it a try. We can't believe that Naxos is only ratred a 4. The server (Andrew) was beyond excellent. We were extremely impressed by every aspect of our meal and service. You can tell that they care. We got a very genuine warm feeling from the whole evening. As for the food it is was excellent. Very reasonabloe considering what you would pay for this type of meal elsewhere. And you could not put a price on the service.
Thanks you Andrew and staff for a great meal and experience.
We WILL definitely Be Back.
