Good Greek restaurant overall. Friday 6 to 7 pm so they were very busy seemed like they should have had more than just 2 running the front, but it was only 2. Ran out of water never came to see if I needed anything after I was served. The plate was good, tasted homemade tho I would have liked more vegetables and potatoes. Seemed quite skimpy there.. Good baklava. Service was friendly however. 4 stars

If you want a casual comfortable dinner, like you went to your aunt's house for dinner, this is the place. Great food, good mom and pop shop feel and the wait staff was exceptional in service and humor. A wonderful experience. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

This place is awesome! It was recommended to me by a colleague who is Greek and they said this place is the closest to authentic Greek food there is around here. I have never had it before so I thought I would give it a try and I'm so glad I did! If you've never had Greek food, this is the place to go to test it out. Food was amazing, staff was friendly and in the ball with customer service, and for two of us to eat, with an upgrade to a soup bowl it was $40. Go check it out. A+++

I feel like this place might be a hit or miss because the food we ordered was pretty mediocre compared to other reviews I read. My favorite food were the navy beans in a tomato oil sauce along with the pita bread. We did not enjoy the meatballs or salad they were pretty bland. There really aren’t a lot of variety options anyways in Coeur d’Alene so we’re glad we had something other than sandwiches, but nothing we ordered gave our palettes a 🤩Like we were hoping.

Visiting from out of town I wanted to find a simple mom & pop place for lunch. Walking around the downtown area I happen across this location. Greek food is always a top choice for me because it's usually fresh and tasty. It's pretty hard to miss it being Greek with the white and blue outside decor, and a name like Olympia. But that's maybe beside the point. I walked in and was greeted with a great, friendly voice. Once inside the decor is quite dated, and the building is very old. But that typically does not mean the food is bad. In fact many of my best dining experiences are at old mom and pop type locations. As it turns out, this was no different. I ordered the Gyro plate, which is basically a Gyro without being wrapped in the pita. I want a little more salad and less bread. The plate was delivered maybe less than 10 minutes after I ordered, and the portions are nice and healthy sized. First bite the salad, fresh, crispy, clean. Dressing, nice. Second bite meat and salad, good tasting gyro meat. Third bite, I begin to chow down. Yep, this is what I desired. A clean fresh salad with yummy Greek seasoned meat, a little bit of pita, and I ordered some hummus for the side. The hummus was nice and garlicy, not quite as smooth as I'm used to, but indeed very tasty. I finished every bit of this meal with great joy. At the end I always ask myself would I come back here again? The answer is absolutely. Next time if I'm in Coeur d'Alene for more than a few days, this will be one of my stops. Thanks Olympia for the great meal and the friendly faces!! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3
