The Ancient Greek queen of the Mediterranean was crowned with the title of Anassa, given only to unique women with goddess-like qualities. The title, similar to a “queen,” was reserved for women who exuded rare qualities and benevolent leadership. Like the Ancient Greek Anassa, we believe our restaurant stands out, representing all of the finest recipes, culinary traditions and ingredients from Greece and the Mediterranean – always standing out for our quality and attention to detail. We look forward to welcoming you to Anassa Taverna and giving you a bit of our own… royal treatment that only an Anassa can give.

I come here often for lunch. This place is phenomenal. The servers are friendly and attentive, the food is delicious, and the ambiance is nice as well. It’s usually very busy during lunch time. We ordered meatballs and Greek salad to start, then she had the branzino (which was wayy too small) with lentils, I had the chicken kebab that came with salad, pita, and French fries. We then had baklava for dessert. Everything was amazing.

I had an exceptional time at Anassa Taverna. I enjoyed lunch there with a friend- we had the hummus and bread (complimentary) along with the octopus appetizer. The octopus, just like all the other reviews, was exceptional! Very succulent, tender and not over cooked. My friend had the lamb entree and I had the branzino along with the spinach/ rice. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasty. The lamb tasted superior to a lot of lamb I’ve had at many other Mediterranean restaurants. Again, well cooked and succulent. The branzino… *chef’s kiss* tasted perfect! The spinach and rice I was not a huge fan of but did not taste bad. I would definitely come here again and try some of the other dishes. Be prepared to be impressed!

Amazing restaurant with spacious layout, stylish ambiance, wonderful service and consistently delicious Greek food.
Their burger is amazing, my omelet was perfectly made and they went out of their way to accommodate my friend’s food restrictions as well as our kids presence and misbehavior.
All the waiters were super lovely and nice.

Came here for lunch during restaurant week. The place is deceptively large from looking from the outside. The decor is very traditional Greek coastal vibes, which has always been a favorite aesthetic of mine.
Service was a touch slow, but was also nice not to be rushed. But having had some meetings after lunch, a little more urgency would have been appreciated. That being said, I don’t think I’ve ever had my water glass filled so many times in one meal, which was greatly appreciated. Nonetheless the staff were kind and patient with our party.
Food was good and very fresh. I started with the salmon tartare, which is paired with these very tasty potato chip like crisps to eat it with. For the main meal I got the chicken which was good, but not stunning in any way. The notable points though were the oregano fries on the side and the fresh tomato and dill sauce served on the side are what amped it up more for me. Lastly, was the highest point of the meal was the dessert, we all had the baklava which although just a small little portion, it was just the sweet little bit we wanted to finish off the meal.

Came here since no one at the nearby “El Vez” ever visited our table after 10 mins of being seated.
The food here was AMAZING! All the staff, including food runners and busboys, were friendly. We had the lunchtime prix fixe menu. All delicious. For drinks, I recommend the sangria.
Thanks for a wonderful time.

Came here for a team lunch and everything besides the lamb chops were amazing. The lamb was just a little too gamey for me and was a little dry. We ordered the spreads that came with tzatziki, spicy feta, and some kind of eggplant spread served with pita and it was so delicious. We also ordered the octopus and zucchini chips both of which were very good. If you’re going to order one thing off this menu though it should be the salmon tartare. The restaurant itself is very beautiful I just wished they turned the heat down a bit as we were all very warm.

Oh my oh my what a delicious meal and outstanding service. The pita bread was great, lamb skewers and meatballs well seasoned, the fried cheese was absolutely delicious, and snapper and veggies on top of it was wonderful. I had a fig cocktail and it was festive and delicious. Highly highly recommend!
We were a group of 5 and shared 2 mains, 2 sides, and 2 apps and we walked away pretty stuffed! Some of us had cocktails and shared a bottle of Greek wine and our bill ended up being about $62 (excluding tip) per person!

Was in the area, and chose to dine here since it was pretty empty. Overall good choice. For starters they provided bread with a hummus spread. Very tasteful. The hummus is fresh, and I love that they drizzle olive oil over the bread.
We ordered Lamb Kebabs, which came with 2 skewers, truffle fries, salad, and tzatziki sauce with pita bread. Good for one person or 2 ppl to share. HIGHLY recommend. The kebabs were so soft, tender and juicy. A must try. We also ordered a beef burger with fries, it was basic. Display was pretty, but there was nothing spectacular about it. Taste wise, was about plain so I wouldn’t recommend.

I had such high hopes. Decided to try the brunch and it was sadly one of the worst brunches I’ve had in ages. I have to highlight though how lovely the servers were, friendly and attentive.
The brunch food, however, was on the level of a mediocre mass produced hotel breakfast. I ordered the omelet with leeks, potatoes and gruyere cheese. I was excited as the combo sounded delicious but it was so bland. My first suspicion was aroused after I was offered salt and pepper and was presented with a plastic bottle of iodized salt. The potato was plain boiled and I was wondering at the end if there was even Gruyère cheese in it at all. I doused everything in salt, ate until I was no longer hungry and promptly got the cheque and left. Shame. Perhaps their mezze is better, but I’ll not risk finding out now.

Great outside seating. Huge indoor seating. Lively inside bar. Friendly attentive service. Upscale look with casual vibe. Dishes came out rather quickly. Octopus was well cooked. Meatballs were nice. Good cocktails and nice wines. Excellent bread and pita. Main dishes good though potatoes undercooked and fries soggy. Quality food and well priced.
