Stumbled across this hidden gem in Astoria. It was nice, cozy and beautiful inside. The staff were attentive and welcoming. I enjoyed the service here as they changed plates and met with care.
The food was delicious! We had calamari for appetizers. They were a big portion and included some squid pieces. For entree, we had lamb chops. They were cooked very well and seasoned to perfection! Very happy with the food, and the cocktail was made lovely.
This is my new favorite Greek restaurant and hopefully continues to be. It not only is cute looking, but the food, drinks, and service are wonderful. Both times my partner and I visited, we have brought different guests from out of town and they loved it. We recently went for restaurant week with his parents and it was totally worth it.
From the time we entered, we loved how warm it was in such a cold day (they had extra heaters inside), and then the music gave it such an ambiance that I felt like we were in some Greek island. This, along with a delicious Nisi Mule cocktail was the perfect start. Our server Dimitra was very nice and welcoming, and so was the manager.
Dinner started with some complementary bread that was warm, and olive oil/balsamic on the side.
Tzatziki & Tirokafteri spreads – super good! 😋 – my favorite tzatziki is usually the one from BZ Grill, so I’m used to good stuff, and this one did not disappoint, but I was more in love with the tirokafteri (spicy feta dip)
Nisi Salad – delicious! We all shared this, even though we knew we probably ordered more food than we needed but no regrets there. The figs in the salad are such a great touch.
Spanakopita – I never had it the way they serve it before (with yogurt) but I usually get this at a bakery. It was sooo good this way! Just try it.
Saganaki – I’m pretty sure we also got this the first time. Everyone liked it just like everything else.
Fish of the day – opted for branzino, and honestly, I have never had a bad one anywhere (it’s kind of hard to mess up), but I will say that my partner who had ordered the lamb chops was jealous of my dish lol I didn’t want to eat too heavy and that was perfect
Paidakia (lamb chops) – very tasty, ordered it medium, really well prepared, but I’m a fish person. My partner is a steak person and was still more in love with the fish.
Astakomakaronada (lobster linguini) – surprisingly generous portion, tasty, and made for a perfect lunch when I reheated the leftovers next day (somebody else in our party ordered but I got to enjoy the leftovers and I didn’t have to take a flight)
Mosharisia Mprizola (rib-eye) – perfectly cooked, nice grilled flavor, would totally havr this again when craving steak
Dessert – we all got baklava to go and even though it was softer than what I’m used to, it was one of the most delicious I have had around, and it made me want to go back next day just for dessert
It was Monday night when we dined in, so I’m not sure if this is the usual experience, but already have reservations for a popular time and will see how it goes. Yum!
Service was incredible. The drinks very tasty. However it felt very short when it came to the food other than the branzino. The The cheese was colds not melty and the crust wasn’t flaky at all it felt like something that was pre-made in the freezer. Octopus the large one was okay for the smaller one was very slimy. The salad was okay no complaints. Being in Astoria for 10 years and trying lots of different Greek places. It’s a nice ambience great place for a date but I’m not sure it would be the place to get the best Greek seafood.
Had a lovely dinner with a friend here recently. One, the server (Britney) was fantastic. Two and three, ambiance was great, and the food was delicious.
We ordered one of their shrimp specials as well as the white fish ceviche for appetizer. I enjoyed the pork tomahawk (which was juicy / not dry!) for my entree with a glass of recommended wine. I was informed that the pork would take a bit of time at the time of my order which I appreciated so I wasn’t surprised at the time it took. I recommend getting something else if you don’t want to wait. Again, service was great – staff was attentive but we didn’t feel rushed.
Pricing is not by any means on the lower end of things so keep that in mind if you’re price concious but I think the food, atmosphere, and service was worth it and hoping to dine here again soon.
Very nice place. Very good food. Service was warm and inviting. First time here and definitely will be back. One of the better grilled octopus we’ve had, especially in Astoria. Tomahawk Pork Chop was on point and my wife’s Ribeye perfect. Well done.
