Stefanos Restaurant - New Westminster

I have been going to this restaurant since it opened in the mid 1990s when the Father ran the restaurant and the young son ran around the place, it was good then. Probably over 50 times during that time, live in New Westminster. The previous experience a year earlier was bad ; however, thought I would try one more time. I finally learned this last time on Friday August 25, 2023. NO MORE. Maybe ownership changed or they just do not care, I believe the later. The food was marginal at best, service was awful, just awful, a grade nine (9) student could have done better. Not sure if this was the server first night. We were party of 9 people and they overcharged and the final bill was padded; the tip was overcharged because we were a party over 6 people at the table. I can honestly suggest I felt we were ripped off , I know we were. I have never confronted the manager on the final bid as my words will speak volumes more. I will NEVER RETURN and or RECOMMEND this restaurant to anyone. So sad the state this restaurant ended up, poor management, the kids control the so called dance floor, even through they have signage NOT allowing children on the dance floor, poor service, poor waiters-servers, poor lousy food.... fast food would have been better!

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. The best Roast Lamb I have had in a long time. Everything we ate was well prepared and seasoned. Service was excellent and our server was very friendly. Beautiful view from the upstairs restaurant dining room and a wonderful atmosphere. They have live music on Friday and Saturday nights. They are very close to a large parking garage so no need to worry about on street parking if you are willing to walk a few blocks. The prices are very fair for the amount of food and the quality of ingredients is high. There is a decent selection of beer and wine.

The band was incredible. Our waitress was super friendly, however, the food was probably the most bland, unseasoned, lacking garlic Greek food I've ever had. My 2 skewers of prawns looked raw. After sending them back for more grilling they didn't look or taste much better. The rice had no flavor. The roast potato was delicious as well as the Greek salad and pita bread.

I read all the reviews before I ate here and was expecting to be amazed with the service but not the food. Yes, the service was great as expected but the roast lamb, my God it was good. It was seasoned to perfection and did not over power the taste of the lamb.pleasantly surprised!good job Chef !

I wish the food was half as good as the service we received. I can rave about the service all day! Ordered the Calamari, and Roast Lamb dinner plates. Both proteins tasted good but rice was cold and didn’t taste like it was fully cooked. Greek Salad was alright.
