Excellent food and wine. Good service. Wish it was not so noisy. Perhaps table cloths, soft furnishings etc would help. However the atmosphere is great and we like going to Xenos.

Corn fritters were a little over fried and servers could be more friendly and attentive but overall a good experience next time I'd order something different

Too Noisy - must go a day other than Sunday. My wife was ill after the dish she ordered - perhaps it was a self-inflicted illness

Good meals but not gourmet or fine dining. Inside tables a little noisy for conversation. Service spot on. Parking in nearby street difficult to find. Price did not damage wallet.

Great service. Lovely food. Good atmosphere. The kids menu had 6 options plus ice cream. They enjoyed it and reasonably priced. Warning for the immobile - the stairs to the toilets are very long and steep.

Realised it was too long between visits! Great food, cocktails, wine and down-to-earth service. Greek food as well as modern Australian dishes. Car park next door makes for easy access.

Our group went to lunch on a very hot day. Service was efficient. The dishes came fairly quickly and all dishes were tasty. The BBQ octopus sauce was a bit too acidic. The restaurant was very noisy and difficult to have conversation among our group.

Xenos is my favourite local restaurant. Food is excellent, with a wide variety, complemented by a good wine list including some excellent Greek wines and 'to die for' baklava. Service is second to none, the owner Peter or one of his sons is always there so everything runs perfectly. A perfect venue for all occasions.

Very busy evening but the wait staff were amazing. Orders taken promptly, drinks delivered to the table & water provided also without delay. We had a group of 9 people and had entrees, mains and desserts. All brought out in a very good time and each meal was amazing. We had the antipasto platters to share for entrees, steak, surf & turf, lamb shanks, pasta and veal. Could not be happier with the food and service. Will come back again soon!

Food was excellent - service was a bit lacking. Ordered a glass of wine which never came. The waitress forgot to bring the bread for the mezze/antipasto. Nothing to eat dips with.

A great slice of Mediterranean cuisines. I went full Greek (bbq octopus, slow cooked lamb and an unpronounceable dessert and each was 10/10 and reasonably priced. Thoroughly recommended.

The food was excellent, however the venue was far too noisy. Very difficult to hear my companions! Also, why do you need TVs in the place? They are a distraction, completely unnecessary and seriously "cheapen" the restaurant. I strongly recommend you remove the TVs immediately, and examine the acoustic design.

My mother, sister and I had a lovely experience at Xenos. We are Greek and are locals and visit this restaurant every so often, for that real authentic taste of Greece ! The meals are well proportioned, fresh, tasty and reminds us of our trips to Greek over the years. We had a lovely table inside facing out, the waiter was very friendly and we shared (as you do) a 3 course meal that was really amazing. Thanks Team ! After many years, you've still got it ! Also one of the best Greek Restaurants on the North Shore!

Great food, generous servings and very attentive staff. Consistently good. Not surprising this family run restaurant has been around since 1969. Guarantee you’ll enjoy your meal.

The host loudly and verbally abused me in front of friends and other customers after I presented my diners card for payment, despite having always done so, and successfully done so as recently as 12/12/2017. Apparently there had been a recent change to the list of accepted cards, and the new policy is to confront unaware customers and accuse them of lying and "sneaking" in a diners card when proffering a companion mastercard instead.

The food and service here is always excellent. It was very busy for a Saturday night and the acoustics didn't lend themselves to easy conversation. We left earlier than we would have had it been quieter. We gratefully accepted a change of tables for a corner banquette though!
