Such a delicious meal!!!! The oysters were so fresh; all of their seafood is super fresh. The grilled octopus was cooked perfectly it was soft with a slightly crispy outside from being char grilled. It had a great char flavor paired with the olive oil and vinegar was perfect. The pork souvlaki was my favorite of the night. The pork was juicy and had great flavor. I really like their tzatziki it’s very fresh with lots of cucumber. The lamb chops were also pretty good. I don’t usually like lamb because it’s gamey but this wasn’t and it was also cooked perfectly. They also gave delicious bread with a mashed olive dip at the start and a custard baklava type dessert for free! 8.5/10

This is the place to get seafood. Very busy, but do t let that discourage you because at the end you’ll be rewarded with some real, real fresh and delicious seafood. The octopus is simply fenomenal, the special combo seafood for two is amazing and the stuff filet of sole very tasty. All this complemented with a glass of sangria. Can’t beat it. If you don’t have reservation get ready to wait for at least 45 minutes, but it will be worth it.

This elegant, authentic greek seafood restaurant constantly has a 45 minute wait on Friday and Satueday nights. The meal is worth it, crispy olive bread with tapenade in olive oil, greek salads, a dozen varieties of fish including shark and swordfish as well as beef, chicken and lamb. The seafood pasta and the salmon were exceptional. Greek sides such as chard and lemon potatos follow the large entree portions. Excellent wine selection. Complementary house dessert with every meal. A staple of Ditmars, Tavern Kyclades never disappoints.

We visited Taverna Kyclades and had a wonderful experience. The service was impeccable—every staff member, even those who weren’t our primary server, made sure we had everything we needed.
For appetizers, we enjoyed crab cakes with fried zucchini. For dinner, my husband had a white fish stuffed with crab meat, while I had a pasta dish featuring five types of seafood: octopus, mussels, clams, scallops, and shrimp. Every bite was full of flavor, and the portions were incredibly generous—we had to take half of our food home and enjoyed it for a couple more days!
Overall, the combination of excellent service, delicious food, and large portions made this a truly delightful dining experience.

We have been wanting to go here for a very long time, but just never quite made it. That was a mistake! They don’t take reservations so we waited for a while. It was fine the area has a lot to see and do, so we walked around. We had the village salad, Kyclades special (seafood platter),grilled chicken, rice, and potatoes. There was only 2 of us, and enough food to feed 4! Each bite was better than the next! All the food was fresh and delicious, and reasonable! We will be going back a lot! Great Greek food!

Delicious food, big portions, ample service. Everything was so fresh (especially their vegetables) and yummy definitely coming back. $22+ but quality and quantity make up for it

octopus and whiting were some of the best I’ve had, and the seafood pasta was delicious. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, right down to the amazing olive oil on the table. The place has a great, bustling energy because it’s always packed. Be prepared for a possible wait, but trust me, the meal you’ll have makes it all worthwhile. Highly recommend!

Really affordable, came for lunch. The dip is great for groups but could have done without. Couldn’t taste the crab dip that well. The calamari was sucha great deal and large portions. Good crisp, wish we had a touch more lemon. The Branzino was the star, good portions. All for about 100
