    Frutti di mare with fettuccini
    Linda S.

    Our group of four ladies went here for a birthday celebration. We enjoyed being the first to enjoy the new Spring menu. Two had fish and chips with salad, very good. One had eggplant Parmesan. She rated it okay, but loved the pasta. I had the frutti di mare, which was outstanding. The clams were large, delicious and there was good size shrimp, calamari and scallops with homemade pasta and a good serving of bread. We also shared an appetizer of hummus, olives, tapenade, grape leaves and pita. The prices were quite reasonable for the quality of food, service and atmosphere. Dessert was a deconstructed Baklava, an ice cream dessert topped with shredded phyllo, honey and nuts. One more shout out to our wonderful waiter, an affable fellow from Chicago who kept us laughing and was a superb server. We had a cozy table overlooking the river, which was just perfect.Highly recommend!

    So this location has been several things. I didn't know it had changed again. This new restaurant was very nice. The vibe inside is peaceful and very beachy. We got a great seat on the deck. Service was a little slow, but we found out there was only one waiter on a Saturday. She was doing her best. We enjoyed a drink and a cup of chowder with a fantastic view. The chowder was pretty good. I would check this place out next time for a meal.

    Food and service was amazing. You have to try the Espresso Martini and the deconstructed baklava with ice cream. Best dessert ever.

    It was an Outstanding, Beautiful SUNNY day in Astoria. We decided for outside/waterfront dining.........we chose AKRES on the Pier. JUST A NOTE: The hours they are open are incorrect....i brought this to their attention but Trip Advisor has the correct hours!! This is a nicely decorated place, Susan was super friendly and was alone for the first hour. She was very knowledgeable and very good at handling the front of the house and waiting on tables. She did a great job as it got very busy. BEFORE I START: I must Apologize for the pictures of our food.... The soup smelled so good we both dug in before I snapped the picture, same with our meal... WISH YOU COULD SMELL THE FOOD!!!! Had a Pilsner, very cold and then an extremely flavorful soup, sausage kale and potato. Then we ordered and shared Pasta Bolognese and Pork Belly/wild mushroom flatbread.. Both were excellent! The location, the menu, the views, river activity was fantastic and fun to watch salmon jumping out of the water. A bit on the spendy side for lunch but well worth it. You will not be sorry!

    Many dishes on the menu looked really good. I was torn between the mushroom pasta dish and the clam chowder. I asked the waitress and she said the chef is Italian and the mushroom pasta was one of the most popular, so I went with it. Boy, did I make the wrong choice. First off the flavor: it tasted like oil and faintly of garlic. Was supposed to be a white wine sauce, but had no hint of sharpness or tang as I would expect from a white wine sauce. Secondly, and most egregious, the sauce was completely split. Which makes sense as it seemed to be 90% oil. Really, just terrible. Both the noodles and the mushrooms were severely overcooked with no toothsomeness left. I ate about half of the dish bc I paid for it and I regret it.. On to the positive.. my friends ordered fish and chips and chicken Parmesan, which were both extraordinary. The fish and chips was fresh, perfectly cooked, and the tartar sauce seemed to be homemade and was a perfect highlight. The chicken parm was really good too. The restaurant was very cute. Beautiful outdoor deck over the water. The inside was very pretty too.

    Brand new Mediterranean restaurant on Pier 12 on the Astoria waterfront. The interior is gorgeous and welcoming, with amazing views of the ships anchted in the Columbia. Parking right on the pier is extra convenient. We came on the first day they were open for breakfast. There still ironing out the kinks on getting rolling, but thus place is super promising. The server (an owner I suspect) was incredibly friendly and attentive. I had the Shakshuka and my wife had a Dungeness tartan. The shakshuka is refined and smooth, spicy with a strong pinch of cumin. It's served with fresh pita. The Dungeness tartan has a zesty lemon gremolata high note. Delicious. Hoping for great success here. As local Astorians we love the idea of another great dining spot.

    Scallop risotto
    Emily B.

    Let's just start by saying this restaurant is beautiful. You can't beat the views! Our server was very nice and attentive. We had a glass of Chianti that was tasty and only $10. We had the crudo which was different that any other crudo I've had but the fish was fresh and it was pretty good. We also had the scallops and risotto. The risotto was overcooked and it came with four very small scallops. I wanted to love it but unfortunately it just wasn't the greatest. The price didn't match the expectations.

    The food is absolutely incredible and you can not beat that view! Perfect for a date night or a small gathering of friends

At the time we…read moredidn't notice it, but we went in and ordered a couple cookies as we were just walking by and not from the area and we were curious about the café. Unfortunately, one of the cookies that was ordered, nothing was listed as having chocolate in it, and my wife has issues with chocolate. It is pretty well known that in the food service industry, chocolate and peanuts are one of those things that you should never mess with when it comes to people's intake. The lady I talked to on the phone a day later mentioned that it was vegan chocolate if it made a difference, and quite frankly, I can see where at some level that might make a difference for the dairy, but in the bigger picture, it doesn't make a bit of difference as it is chocolate that is an issue not the dairy. The bottom line is it should've had a label on the shelf tag and it did not. In our opinion, it should even have a listing of the type of chocolate (dark, lite, etc ). As that could have been a hospitalizations worse. Then, at the end of the conversation, the person I talking to was dismissive and just wanted to move on -- clearly not somebody that should be answering the phones if she's not gonna fully listen (even though she said she did) to the very valid concern. She said that there's a recipe book that we could've asked about if we had any concerns. The concern was that there was no listing on the label of the cookie that was on the shelf. Something as simple as "contains chocolate" could have averted this whole situation.

Reviewing the menu, there were lots of yummy things to choose from but ultimately we both could not resist the Lamb shank. I'm sad I didn't take a picture of it. It was so tender and delicious. It came with perfect Basmati rice and a side of eggplant stew that was exquisite! I've never had eggplant stew and it was luscious. I dream to about it all night long. It was quiet, comfortable, music was great; songs we all know but with native instruments and flare. We had house red wine - not a big selection of alcohol, which is fine the food is and should be the star. Our sever (Sorry my old lady brain forgot his name) but the good looking bald guy(LOL) was nice and personable. It was such a great low key dining experience that just made the day even better.

The parking lot can be busy to navigate through with other businesses in this complex but there are spots right at the door if you're just doing a quick pick up. Service has always been friendly and they have a very strict pick up procedure for verification at the pick up order counter - mostly for delivery services but it can get intense during peak meal times. But it looks like they might now have a window dedicated to those services. The restaurant is open and spacious with an open kitchen. The walls are filled with colorful murals and cultural decor and had tables for different group sizes. Our favorite is the Lamb Gyro and they PILE ON the meat! Also we love the round crinkle cut Greek fries (it's usually not super crispy for take out so we just heat it back in the air fryer) but we always get the spicy garlic sauce and the feta cheese toppings. I tried the Baba Ghanouj this time but it was too acidic for me...but the pita bread that came with it was nice and fluffy though. Come try this local business (they have a few other locations) when you have a craving for Mediterranean food and you won't be disappointed with the portion size or taste!
