Excellent restaurant. Really good food, excellent service and friendly owner. I celebrated my birthday there and they even gave me free dessert and the whole staff sang me a birthday song. Such an unforgettable dinner there. I will come back again

5 Stars This Restaurant is a local Treasure!!!! Amazing food, incredible Owners and staff, amazing atmosphere and sections. The restaurant is large, yet so elegant and quaint. The Owners put their heart and soul into everything. You are treated fully as their guests! Always a great place and always a fun time. The Owners make sure your every expectation is met. The food is delicious and superb, delicious, fresh and excellent. Open the door to a fabulous evening out! Charming ambience. On a side note...Anyone in the film Industry locations scout looking for a spacious, clean, bright restaurant glassed rooms. Patio, etc, they are interested! Give them a call. Ample parking at the back! And close lots easily negotiated for Circus etc. Call them and get a great location. You'll be impressed. Dinning, dancing. Special events, charm. This lovely restaurant is a gem! But again the Owners add their own unique charm. I love this restaurant!

Wanderful place with a wonderful lady. It’s a family business and they do it very well for many years now from generation to generation. Tasty food options and very nice staff and owners. They have a bar too. I recommend this place to have a nice time. These 5stars are mostly for the service.

Very much enjoyable dinner last night here at the Royal Oak Restaurant. The service was awesome, with our service being super nice and friendly, along with delicious food. We had a few appetizers and either the calamari or sauteed mushrooms being the best. Freshly friend calamari was tender and crispy batter. Mushrooms were also tender and has a ton of bite to them, a lot of flavor as well. We also had the garlic prawn appy which was not too bad. Prawns were decently flavoured and tender too. I think the pita bread could definitely be improved. Might come down to preferences but, would rather have a soft pita bread. Pita bread also did not seem as fresh as other items. Mains were awesome. Had the roast lamb (can't really go wrong here). Fall of the bone tender and tons of flavor from all the spices. The dish came with rich, salad and roast potatoes. Fairly large portion. I thunk the fav would have to be the chocolate torte for dessert. Loved the sponge cake here along with the chocolate sauce all over. The cake base was just the perfect level of spongy-ness for me and was also not overly too sweet. Loved it. We also tried their baklava which was pretty good. Generally not my kind if dessert tho.

5 stars all around! The food, the service (Lenny as our waitress) & atmosphere was all perfect. The calamari appetizer was fresh, crispy & generously portioned. The pizza was what you expect authentic Greek pizza to be. Does not taste like commercialized chain restaurants — instead you can see and taste the quality ingredients. Their cocktail/mocktail menu had plenty to choose from. The cozy interior makes you feel at home. It’s been around for many decades and you can see why!

This is a great family friendly restaurant. I was there for a birthday for a kid and everything was amazing. The food and service were fantastic. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is very cozy. Hands down I'll be going back. It seems to be a neighbourhood favourite.
