Excellent food, Excellent service! Nice & relaxing atmosphere. They did not rush us out even though we were celebrating two birthday boys.

What a great place to go on date night. Elegant with a huge area filled with ambiance. Real authentic Greek cuisine that brought me back to the motherland . The staff was personable and inviting. Go there to treat yourself to something new.

Food was delicious but it took a while We had a booked table but from what I could tell the rest of the restaurant was PACKED Definitely would come back Place was spotless and beautifully designed

The reposado tequila with the blood orange was a 10/10. We had the calamari as an appetizer 8/10. The lobster spaghetti was rather salty and the lobster was chewy. Would I revisit absolutely YES the ambiance was great on a Friday night and my waiter Adonis was GREAT. Super friendly very attentive and exceeded our expectations.

TLDR: Authentic greek food, delicious and highly recommended The squid here was so fresh and tasty, it was almost like eating tender chicken. The pita bread with the different spreads were amazing. The hummus and Ziti were full of flavor. Baklava and ice cream were very well done. The service was ok, maybe not as attentive as I would have liked, but the food made up for it.

Absolute best Greek food I've ever had. Service was excellent. I would definitely come back. We started with 3 spreads. All tables are served with complimentary bread + hummus, so for our spreads we chose Tirokafteri, Skordalia and Eggplant. Tirokafteri was definitely the favorite! Has a subtle spice. We also got the saganaki cheese, which was also delicious but very heavy and filling. For entrees, we got the swordfish kebabs and lamb chops. Lamb chops were very meaty and cooked perfectly. For dessert you must get BAKLAVA! It was PHENOMENAL. It's so flaky and delicious, and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and crushed pistachios. 10/10 recommend. Shout out to our amazing waitress Melanie who definitely made our dining experience top tier. She was super friendly and attentive and gave us solid recommendations. Saturday night was of course busy but she was calm and composed and did a great job! Both indoor and outdoor seating is available. Inside is a bit dimly lit but not too dark. People definitely come here a bit dressed up for dinner (heels, cute dress, etc).

I came here for dinner with my fiancé and his family for a wedding celebration of family friends. I had never been to any of the locations for this restaurant but I was very happy to come to the one in Astoria as my introduction. This is a newer location, it is spacious, open and has a trendy feel. The rustic decoration makes it feel like you are in a nice winery in Greece. They had a pre-set menu for our party of 13 people that was beautifully printed with a cute design and the names of the couple. The meal had abundant food and drinks, it was truly a great environment for a celebration. The waiters were very attentive of our table and it never felt like anything was missing. I tried some white wine and it was refreshing, smooth, and dry. For food, we tried a myriad of things and everything I sampled was delicious. - Greek salad: refreshing produce, with the perfect amount of feta and olives. One of my favorite Greek salads that I've had at a restaurant. - Dips: we tried the tzatziki, eggplant, and tirokafteri which came with generous amounts of cut pita (made it super easy for sharing). The eggplant was creamy and garlicky. The tzatziki was refreshing with the cool yogurt and aromatics. The tirokafteri had a spicy salty punch that was delicious on its own, as well as paired with the other two dips in the mix, it had the perfect balance of peppers and feta. Excellent. - Calamari: best calamari I've had in a restaurant. The squid was flavorful, juicy, fresh and just very lightly battered (I don't love heavily battered calamari). Came with two sauces that were addictive and some lemon. Would come back just for this. - Kolokithokeftedes: first time trying these but very good! Crispy on the outside, with a very moist and almost a little sweet filling from the zucchini that is well balanced by a layer of creamy salty cheese underneath. - Branzino: got this for my entree and it had a pretty good portion size! The branzino itself was not as impressive as in other places but was still fairly good. The spinach rice was very yummy. - Lamb chops: exceptional! I tried some from my fiancé. I wish I had ordered this instead. These were tender, not gamey at all, and had the perfect amount of fats to make them feel satisfying but not too heavy. - Dessert platter: great option for a big party! This platter basically comes with almost all the desserts in the menu if you cannot make up your mind. My favorites were the portokalopita which was alike an orange syrupy pound cake, and then the cylinder phyllo filled with custard (I believe called galaktoboureko), it was so flaky and subtly sweet! The baklava was a little too sweet for my taste but also good. We ended our meal with one shot of ouzo which was delicious and went down smoothly into our full and happy bellies. Overall, had a great experience here as a guest of a big dinner party. I cannot speak of the prices or logistics of planning but the team definitely did a fantastic job of catering to us and making sure we all left happy, being attentive of us, making sure all our food came out at the same time. I certainly will be coming back to try more of their dishes and have more of their addictive calamari. Highly recommend them for a large party!

Celebrated our friends big birthday at Anassa and it was a success, thanks to her boyfriend for planning. The place was decorated so cute and the plates and glasses were so pretty. The hostess and waitress of ours (Melanie & Naomi) were so friendly and welcoming. We had a large party of about 15 people and they took care of us really well. The drinks were tasty, appetizers and entrees to dessert were really good and filling. Thank you again Naomi for being so good at your job! Will definitely come back again. Favorite dishes were the filet mignon kebab medium rare, grilled shrimp, anassa chips, fried calamari and Mediterranean spreads.

It's always a great time and quality service whenever I come to here! Definitely try to come early if you don't have a reservation because I always see this place fill up after 6pm sometimes, it's super popular! I came back for their lobster spaghetti dish because it's so good and I got the portion for 2 people to split with my friend. We both loved it and it was saucier than the first time I had it and I loved it! The restaurant is so beautiful and it feels so fancy, definitely a place for date nights and celebrations!!
