Nice Greek food in a cosy environment. The friendly service made us feel right at home, the waitress was A-1. An enjoyable night out.

We went here for a group dinner of four last Saturday night. When making the booking I was informed that it was a busy night but we didn't mind waiting for our meals as we had already been told this and it was a social dinner anyway with lots of catching up to do.
Our waitress was great, one of the best I've had. She was polite, fast and sufficiently attentive, coming to our table when we needed her and allowing us to enjoy our dinner in peace.
The food was delicious, perhaps not the best Greek food I've eaten but definitely authentic and plenty of it. Price wise I thought it was very fair and we had a discount on top of that with our Entertainment Gold Card.
Top 40 music cracked us up but we were still able to talk over it. Comfortable furniture and Greek atmosphere. Overall, a good dinner out. We'll definitely be back!

Went with the family last month and was not impressed at all. Obviously it has changed owners over the years as the place looked like an old club. We were the second group (at 7 pm) in the place and only half the tables were made up (red flag!). Waiter was excited to see us (not surprising) and did his best. The food was ok but looked as if it was bulk made. Overall very disappointing as we wanted the real Greek fair. If you want a bucks night and own the place, here's your spot!

This is the place you want to go. It has the greek atmosphere, my kids loved it the staff are friendly. The food, well the food is superb, its value for money, the chicken sulyvaki is the one to get. So over all if you're in Parramatta this is where to go.

Oh my God, Do not bother!! I went here with my partner for dinner on a weeknight. The staff only had to wait on about 5 tables as the place was near empty.
We ordered a beer and a champagne, both of which were warm. Ordering was a difficult process, the waiter was hard to understand and knew nothing about any of the dishes. We ordered a garlic bread and our mains. 1/2 an hour later a jug of water came out and we were still waiting on the bread of all things, let alone the food we had ordered.
I questioned a waitress about this and she never returned to let me know anything so I assumed the food was on its way. 40 minutes later we were still waiting on the bread. People were coming into the restaurant after us, eating and leaving before we had even received a crumb. We ended up leaving after an 1hr and 20 minutes. I wasn't willing to pay for the drinks we had, (considering the service there) and I don't think they were stupid enough to even think about charging me. Worst dining experience ever.

Ate here on a Sat night and the place was suprisingly very quiet. Were attended to immediately, ordered drinks and asked if we would like "some dips and bread to go with the drinks". Later realised this little offer had cost us $21. We also provided a complimentry amuse buche of deepfried meatballs.
We shared the dips and entrees of calamari and spanakopita, and then had mains of baked lamb, lamb shank and pasta. All the food was of a very good quality and the service throughout was exemplary.
There are a lot of cheaper Greek places in the area, which might explain the few diners, but I can recommend this place for a stylish night out.

Went to this restaurant with my Greek girlfriend for an authentic Greek experience. Apart from a painting of the Greek islands on the wall and the Greek music in the background, we also received the following: Over-emphasis of service from a Chinese waiter (was just expecting someone Greek, who knew the food and could pronounce the dishes better than myself), stuffed vegetables (an eggplant, cut in half, as it was entree size, ridiculous to cut something in half and put it on a plate.
A stuffed capsicum, hot pot of approx. 6 garlic prawns, a chicken breast toped with salmon which was drowned and covered in what looked like bernaise sauce with asparagus. Extremely salty, I didn't finish the dish and I do agree with the other comment. what the.....? is bok choy doing on a plate in a 'Greek' restaurant and as an entree pita bread with creamy garlic bread, add 2 glasses of water=$72 thanks.
Needless to say, we skipped dessert and got out of there. The waiter asked how the food was, when it was obvious because we left at least 1/3 on the plates. Never again. I could have made a better effort out of a cookbook and I am not even Greek.

I am actuallly REALLY IMPRESSED by the place in comparison to the former management, I think Sophocles really has potential. I mean sure it's not exactly a cheap price range on the menu, but it's far from your average street level cafe or restaurant. It would definitely be a place that you would take someone to impress, because it is fine dining so you can't go there being tight in the pocket.
I am actually of a Greek background and I found the food really magnificent. The most simple ways in which the dishes are made, give the touch of Greece, like for instance the Roast lamb and the Snapper. As for the comments of the bok choy, I hardly noticed! Regardless of which there is a world wide use of the vegetable, for instance, not all Italian places who use lebanese cucumbers in their salads are regarded as lebanese restaurants are they?
In a nut shell, I was extremely impressed overall with the service, being the waitstaff who seemed very experienced along with the head waiter who is also of Greek origin, and was able to communicate with the non-english speaking guests at the table. I also had the privilege of meeting the Chef (All I can say you can't get more authentic than him), and this what, perhaps, gave me the added confidence in the food that was served at our table.
Just a note: I was dining with a table of 8 people, 3 of whom were visitors from Athens and along with the other guests at the table really enjoyed the evening very much. Thanks guys, I owe it to you to post this message, to applaud your prestige representation and service, that is very rarely found at other Greek restaurants I have visited in the past.
