I strongly felt that the money I spent at Barangas I could have got more quantity of food at Sotiris in Burlington. The only good thing Barangas has going for it is its location and view of Lake Ontario.
As always, the view is incrediable! Although I have been going there for years and always had the same dish (chicken souvlaki), I decided to try one of their new dishes, lamb shanks....incrediable!!! Service is always friendly! A great night overall!
We have been to this restaurant several times and after reading the reviews I felt compelled to comment. This is a very big and busy restaurant, so yes at times there is a wait. However, it is totally worth the wait!!! They have an amazing patio facing the lake! We always enjoy the food, especially the salad combinations and the service is always friendly. We can't wait for it to open every summer!! It truly is Hamilton's diamond in the rough! I think that the people who have walked away with a negative experience are truly only a few. Our entire family and friends all love Barangas.
In a nut shell the service was slow and rude, as was the manager. the Food was either burnt or cold and the deck was full of smoke. would not visit again.
I've been to Barangas in the past and have always enjoyed myself. The food can be great or ho-hum depending what has been ordered. The fried calamari appetizer was ordered by someone at our table. I've had it in the past but this time, the serving size had shrunk considerably and the person who ordered it said it was cold. I ordered the baked feta/spinach pasta. The plate was too hot to touch and the pasta the lukewarm. Our meals were served to us by the bus boy and she didn't bother to serve us individually. It was up to the table to pass the meals to the proper recipients. 3 of the people ordered Greek salads which were served minus the black olives. Menu description said greek olives. Took forever to flag down the waitress to get a community pot of olives. Of the 6 people at the table, only the 2 people who ordered the chicken souvlaki were happy with the meal. All in all, it was a disappointing night and I am 50/50 on thoughts of returning. Average meal per person was $30.00. I'm hesitant to fork out that much again and experience another let down with the food and service. As other posters have said, the view is great but that in itself is not a reason to go back. Food and service must improve.
