Thanks so much to the hostess (Tori? Tory?) for taking care of my reservation changes, she was absolutely amazing and was super nice. I will most definitely be back. The food was great, the lobster pasta was soooo good. Thank you so much for the great night!

3.5 stars which just ok. The restaurant had a beautiful atmosphere and excellent service, but the food was just mediocre. There are far better Greek places that are authentic in the area. We had the Saganaki and beet salad for our appetizers. The Saganaki was very good, but the beets in the salad tasted like it was straight from a can. For entrees we had the filet and kofta kabobs and sea bass plaki. The kebabs were good, but the sea bass plaki was very bland. For desserts we had the orange cake and the chocolate cake both were mediocre and not worth ordering. Nothing was terrible here, but nothing was amazing either. Overall it was mediocre and not worth a second visit.

I feel very conflicted about leaving this review. The food was great but slightly salty, but still very tasty. My lamb chops were cooked perfectly, and overall I had a good time.
However, since we came on Valentine’s Day, I noticed that many couples were given roses as they walked in. My partner, who was the only Black woman in the restaurant, did not receive a rose when we entered. At the time, we didn’t think much of it and continued with our dinner. As the evening went on, though, we saw more couples come in and receive roses. Some of these couples were seated next to us, which left a bad taste in my mouth.
I can’t help but wonder what criteria the restaurant used to decide who received a rose and why so many couples who arrived after us were given one. Unfortunately, this experience spoiled my enjoyment of the restaurant and left me feeling conflicted.
We ordered plenty of food, left more then 20% tip and if anyone from the restaurant sees this please reach out, if there was some criteria that needed to be met to receive a rose I would love to know

We ate here last night for the first time and everything was absolutely fantastic!! We shared fried calamari and fried saganaki for appetizers. We ordered the Kefte kebab and filet mignon kebab and both were delicious, flavorful, and so tender- great portions too. The vibe in here is warm and energetic. Server was very friendly and paced the meal well. The manager came over to check on how we were doing, too, which is a plus. We highly recommend this place for your next date night!

Beautiful restaurant and good food. I’m only giving it 4 stars because I ordered a steak cooked medium rare and it came out more medium-well. Also the waitress was very pushy to pack up our food and get us to pay, even though it was late and there were plenty of available tables. Otherwise, I’d still recommend. Cocktails (cleo and athena) and zucchini fritters were delicious.

Everything from the octopus to the Anassa chips for appetizers were great! For the entrees you can select your fish of choice and they prepare it to perfection. I went with the lamb chops with the lemon potatoes which were amazing. Service was good but the place was packed so I get it. Overall great experience

Five of us had a party on Saturday evening. The tavern was quite busy which reflected on service (our waiter wasn’t present all the time). But I can understand that.
The space itself doesn’t look like a typical Greek tavern, but high ceiling, good furniture and an appropriate lighting are definitely worth mentioning.
The food is good, but some portions are too small. For example, Greek salad is very tasty, but the portion is way too small. The same goes for grilled saganaki. In addition, our lamb chops were served well-done, although we asked for medium. On the other hand, our red snapper was great.
Restrooms are too small for a restaurant with this capacity.
The wine list should be MUCH better.
Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience. And the prices are very reasonable to be honest.
However, if I compare the food and portions with some other Greek taverns in Astoria I have to admit there are better options.

Visited for a birthday dinner with family and the food/service were phenomenal! The appetizers had us so full! The entrees were all amazing! I throughly enjoyed each course as well as the sangria. My faves were the Greek sausage and lamb chops- cooked to perfection! HIGHLY recommend for a special celebration or an intimate dinner. The restaurant is very stylish with great ambiance. LOVED it!!

First time there. Restaurant vibes were great. It seemed busy and lots of tables were packed. Bar was busy as well. Food was very good. However, the service was TERRIBLE. Our waitress didn’t fully speak English, but proceeded to correct us on the pronunciation of the dishes. She was very condescending and only warmed up to us once my friend started speaking Greek to her. She did not walk around the table to take the order. I felt like I was ordering at a pub because I was basically screaming my order to her since the place was so loud. She then never came back to check on the table at all. Food came out very late and in batches. Not because it was busy, it was because they didn’t have anyone running the plates. I cancelled an order because somehow it never showed up to the table with everything else, once I called a busboy to ask to call the waitress over, she decided to come like 10 minutes after. By then everyone else was finished with their dishes so I canceled mine.
I would probably go there once more to get the vibe again, and see if these are recurring issues. I will definitely not go back during dinner time, seems like they are not ready for a packed house. Again, food was good, for what we had. Drinks were not strong, but not weak either. They were ok restaurant drinks. Service was 1/10 and if I was given the same server I would request a different one. She was terrible. Being pretty and blonde doesn’t mean she has to be condescending, inattentive and rude.
