Amazing authentic Greek food in the most adorable converted house. Seafood shared appetizer was amazing. Moussaka delicious. Ouzo after dinner shot perfect! Servers very outgoing, efficient and friendly!

Had good friends from Nashville staying with us and knew they would enjoy dining at Asteras Restaurant. We had never met the server Faith before, nor had she served our table in the past. Food was great as always, but Faith made sure that we...enjoyed our evening with our friends. It was like we had known her for years and she went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed everything. I highly recommend eating at Asteras, as well, I recommend requesting to have Faith look after your table. You won’t regret it! Highly recommended!More

Fantastic night, the food was 12/10, our server pleasant, very attentive, and friendly. The place was packed and the service was perfect. It’s my new favourite restaurant.

If you are looking for charming, lively dining with atmosphere in Nanaimo look no further than Asteras restaurant in Nanaimo's old city square on Wesley. I think the best Greek food we have ever had, service was impeccable as well. If you know when you...are visiting make reservations as it is busy.More

Amazing food and amazing atmosphere! From the outside you wouldn’t even know it was a restaurant from the road, it looks like a cute character house. The Ekmek is heaven on Earth!

Very good meal but found the ambiance needed work - was too loud (music much too loud) and very warm in the restaurant during the heat wave so less enjoyable. It wasn't possible to hear each other talk given how loud the music was.

Amazing. Amazing. People lined up all night. Food was so good. All of it. Atmosphere is loud. Everyone enjoying themselves. The owner clearly wants to be the best! And his restaurant is the best.

The staff went above and beyond for our special family dinner. A small hiccup with our sons food was rectified tenfold. Totally unnecessary but much appreciated. Thank you!

Went for takeaway. We were told we’d wait 20 minutes for our order. At the 35 or 45 minute mark we went looking for it. We were looked at as if we had just appeared out of nowhere. Waiter came back to tell us we...needed to wait another ten minutes. But, the order came out right away. Food was really good, but it was obvious it had been sitting there for ten or fifteen minutes (more?). We opened the calamari as soon as we got in the car because we didn’t want it getting cold and soggy….it was cold and soggy (and the batter was just barely not raw). Healthy servings and good flavours and we will go again. But. We had probably set our expectations too high because of really good comments we have been hearing. If we do takeaway again we will stay standing in the doorway and not wait at the bottom of the stairs where there are benches and get ourselves forgotten 😊. While the worker apologized for our wait, they shouldn’t have sent out the soggy calamari.More

This place has much charm and romance, The decor is fabulous and the food is superb. Waiters are attentive but not overwhelming. we did not have reservations so felt that we were being rushed a bit to make room for the next wave on diners....But this was the only complaint of the evening.More

We dine here every time we visit Nanaimo and are always impressed! This is hands-down the best restaurant in Nanaimo. Call early and get reservations, because it’s always busy — for very good reason!

We went on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was packed. I didn't feel any sense of "social distancing" here. Small, quaint, but just too many people to be relaxing and comfortable. Our food was mediocre considering the price. A disheveled, tired looking man came...to our table and asked how everything was, when I inquired who this person was, I was told that this was the owner. Service was good.More
