My mom doesn't eat meat so this was a great fit for her, many options! I had the fish which was cooked well. The portions were big as well. Would come back again. read more

This is a lovely place where i had lunch with my friend today. The menu is varied with the usual greek specialties. i ordered vegetarian moussaka which came with a greek salad, pita, side of rice and green beans. The rice was just ok but the green beans were good. the moussaka was good as well. i enjoyed the greek salad and dressing was flavorful. i would have liked some tzatziki on the side of the pita but oh well. service was pleasant and they didn't rush us out which my friend and i appreciated. read more

Santorini's was redecorating a number of years ago. It went from diner looking to more elegant. The staff is amazing. They always smile and bring everything you want. The food is so good. We've gone to many Greek restaurants, and this one is perfect. The menu is not too large or to small. We shared the included Greek salad with the nicest dressing, and even took some dressing home. We also shared the avgelemono soup - lemon, chicken, rice - one of my favorites. I got the stuffed eggplant as a main course which had veggies, red sauce, and Mozzarella Cheese melted on top of an eggplant boat. It came with rice and stringbeans in tomato sauce. I substituted the beans for lemon potatoes - yes, 2 carbs. So shoot me. When my hubby got the stringbeans, i tried one and realized i do really like them here. Oh well. He got the basa fish and shrimp kebab with roasted tomatoes and onions. The fish is like a flounder and really good. I'm so looking forward to all the leftovers. Thank you to Santorini for making our "where do we want to eat now?" such a great choice! read more

This time we were with friends whose impressions after dinner were consistent with a five star review. Since all the dinners come with Greek salad, they put out a large bowl for four with serving tools in the middle of our table and some quartered, plain pita. You can get a limited selection of salad dressings on the side. My buddy wanted more feta cheese on the salad ... no problem. As to entrées, his wife thought the flounder was the best, while he enjoyed their stuffed eggplant. My wife stuck with her well done salmon and I had their stuffed peppers. I wanted to substitute rice for French fries ... no problem. The dinners come with the vegetable du jour and either lemon potatoes, French fries or rice. The only comment detracting from a rave review was that my (two) stuffed peppers had more rice than meat, but they still tasted very good. We parked for free in the lot behind and arrived shortly before 6:00 P.M. on a Saturday night. No reservation was required. The price was right, the food was fine, the waitress was nice, and the booth was so spacious, my wife and I didn't bother to hang our winter jackets (although our friends did). read more

This was $27.... I love Greek food so I decided to give this place a try and unfortunately it was by far the worst I have ever had yet the most expensive. I've never ordered a Greek dinner platter where the sides are green beans and rice with tomato sauce on top... Both were not very good. Greek Palace down the block is soooo much better and the sides are delicious; fries and rice, not tomato sauce drenched like it is here. The chicken was kind of fatty and not that good either. Salad dressing wasn't good at all and the pita was kind of hard. Sticking with Gyro Palace for sure for better food and prices. read more

Santorini Greek Restaurant - Chicken Souvlaki Dinner - Greek Near Me - Merrick, New York

I had a lamb shank that was hot,There was no meat but a lot of fat on it, and it cost 45.00. The waitress was not friendly at all, she did not come back to refill our drinks. Now I know why it was so empty on a Saturday night. We will never go back again. read more

I enjoyed the chicken souvlaki but the fries and tzatziki were not very flavorful- skip them. Service was fine. Good spot for Greek food if you're in the area. read more

It's been a long time since I've come here. I enjoyed the dimmer lightening and more sleek interior. I ordered the chicken lemon soup which was definitely as good as I remembered it. I did not particularly enjoy the tzatzaki, I've had better. Service was good read more

Cute restaurant in a quiet residential area. Came with my family of 4 - there is no kids menu and they only serve beer, wine and soda. Our waitress was nice but seemed to be the only one taking the orders for the whole restaurant. She did forget our drinks but it was fine - I felt bad because she was so busy. They should really consider adding another waiter/waitress especially on the weekends. There were two other employees helping her but they seemed to be the busboys. The food was good. The Greek salad was delicious I loved that they added grape leaves however I don't think the cheese was feta.. it was sliced and didn't have the usual crumble that you would normally get from feta. We ordered the chicken kabob and shrimp & fish kabob i was expecting it to come out on skewers and the presentation of the plates were very sloppy. However, the food was good and we enjoyed our meal. read more

The food is consistently good to excellent. Likewise, the service is friendly and fast. The dining room is clean and neatly decorated, but this is not necessarily a restaurant that you would take a date to for a romantic dinner. read more

I ordered pickup through ubereats and had an issue where the person who was supposed to pick up wasn't going to be able to make it in time before they close. Called ubereats who asked me to call the restaurant and see if they have a courier to deliver, since the former didn't have an option to switch to delivery; I was told they don't. About 30 mins after my order was supposed to be picked up, I hustled my way to the restaurant and was told that they would re-make my order since it was sitting there for a while - something that was totally unexpected and spoke volumes about how much they value quality, as it wasn't their fault it wasn't picked up when it was supposed to. I don't think I have ever enjoyed waiting for my food as much as I have - the host was very personable and we had a great conversation about the restaurant's food and others in the area. I had mentioned to him that I haven't seen a restaurant serve fried zucchini with skordalia since I had gone to a long-ago closed restaurant in NYC's upper eastside, and how excited I was to see that they offer it on their menu. The skordalia was delicious - not too garlicky - and paired with the thinly-sliced zucchini chips, was the perfect appetizer. I ordered two as my meal, but had plenty of leftovers for a snack. I look forward to coming back and sitting down for a meal. read more

We love Santorinis. Our go to dinner is their medium salad with everything - chopped. Love the Lemon chicken soup and the zuchini fries. Had great gyros also. Cannot count the number of times we've been there! read more

They don't take reservations. Called and asked what the wait was. Gentleman was polite and only said approximately 15 minutes for 3 people. We ended up there at the perfect time because shortly after a lot of people came in after us. Sat in a booth, lots of room. Waters were refilled constantly. Lots of menu choices! The chicken kebob dinner was absolutely delicious!! Juicy tender chicken and same with the gyro dinner! It also came with a salad which was yummy and they put the dressing on the table for you which I liked. I had a 20% off coupon from the mail if you use cash to pay and got almost $15 off my check. First time here and will definitely come back. Very yummy food!!! read more

This place has the best Greek salad dressing on Long Island. Buy it. They are foolish for not marketing it in supermarkets.

The food and service was excellent. Really liked the chicken gyro Greek salad and Greek fries

This has been our basic go to place for Greek food in past decades. Their soups and gyros are first rate. Their fried zucchini app is superb. Good selection of Greek beers. Recently beautifully redecorated. Only complaint is a sparse supply of lamb options. Lamb gyro does not count because it is basically sausage. Otherwise, a total keeper. read more

Food is delicious. Everyone said their food was outstanding. The Service was quick and friendly. I have not been to Santorini in six years, but the food and service was the same as years ago; excellent. I would recommend this restaurant if you like Greek food. read more

3 spoons ! The waitstaff is friendly and attentive. The food is so delicious. We ordered the saganaki cheese was so creamy and warm and gooey. We ordered 4 different dishes, each were delicious. They give you lots of pita bread and a cold crispy Greek salad for the table. I like the fact that the salad dressing is in a shaker bottle that we can add to our own salad. read more

My wife and I went out for a late lunch, early dinner. It was Sunday around 4pm. We were the only table in the restaurant. Service was great. We started with the Fried Zucchini Scordalia. The zucchini was paper thin and fried beautifully. My wife ordered the vegetarian Moussaka and I ordered the Moussaka. It came with a Greek salad. The dressing is fantastic. We came close to buying a bottle to go. The moussaka came with a side of stewed green beans and yellow rice. Both were delicious. Her moussaka was very good. Mine was cold in the middle. It was made at another time and reheated. Kind of disappointing. We will give it another shot but it was not a great experience. read more

The server did not rush us through our meal which was nice since it was a long time since we all got together. A table of two ladies nearby had trouble flagging down the waiter when they wanted to leave. Lovely Greek restaurant. Food was as expected, good but nothing was spectacular. They are known for their Greek salad dressing which you could buy a bottle to take home. There are no lunch specials or smaller meals for lunch, same menu and price for lunch and dinner. Parking lot in back. We will go back again it it suits our needs but is not a place we must go to again. read more

First time I came here since I moved to Merrick from Astoria. My mom wanted to try a Greek restaurant in Merrick and we were both very pleased from the service to the food to the portions. Everything was delicious and flavorful. Will definitely be coming back again. It's also very pretty inside and seeing all the pictures made me miss Greece even more. I highly recommend this restaurant. You will not be disappointed or leave hungry. read more

The restaurant is nice and clean however very pricy and the food just isn't great. Had the lentil soup-it was ok-and lemon soup-made with rice and not the traditional orzo. Had the dip platter-hummus was good-feta was nothing special and the eggplant wasn't great at all. Pita was ok-one piece was stale. Disappointing. read more

Checked this place out this weekend, very good, cool atmosphere, place was busy lady running front of house was awesome, taking care of customers, outgoing orders, and seating customers... food was tasty, apps we had grape leaves were great spread platter was ok, hummus tasted a little different, Greek salad with chicken souvlaki was delicious, tzatziki was fresh & shimp scampi cooked perfectly Will definitely be back read more

Excellent , I ordered through a delivery service. I got the lamb gyro, with added feta. It was a little salty, but most likely was from the feta. Meat was tasty, pita soft and warm, tzatziki sauce had a perfect balance of creamy and garlic. The pita was stuffed full...a lot of meat and veggies ! Dolmas we're delicious as well, the flavors came through and I wasn't overpowered by spices. Will def order again. read more

You definitely need to go Santorini for their Greek food. I Went today for my 1st time as others in my party have previously been there. Since Covid I have found that the service and quality of the food industry has greatly declined. However this restaurant is amazing! The staff is so nice and helpful. The food was delicious and plentiful. The restaurant is spotless, prices were reasonable This restaurant does not disappoint Kudos to the staff and chef! read more

Our first visit to this Greek Restaurant named after one of my favorite Greek Islands that I have visited. The restaurant has plenty of pictures along with the colors of Santorini throughout the entire dining room One of the best ways for me to determine if a Greek restaurant is up to my standards is to try their grilled octopus which I did. And yes, they past the test. The apetizer was perfectly cooked, and tasted great. I also has the Chicken Athenian which was very good also. Overall, I very much enjoyed our first vist and I will return soon. read more

I was very disappointed. The food was ok but very high prices & very small portions. I would not go back.

Excellent food and service. I left off a star because they don't take reservations on the weekend. Our party of four arrived at about seven pm and were not seated until 7:30 pm. Pastitos, gyro, lentil soup, and greek salad were all excellent. read more

Good food, short staffed. They had one waitress and one bus boy. meanwhile, management ( I think they were the owners) we're just standing around not helping out. it took 15 minutes just to get our soup. Good food, not worth the wait. read more

After coming here last Friday, my wife and I decided to head back last night. It was about 5PM so the place was understandably mostly empty, we got our same table by the floor to ceiling windows as last week. Different ways I can approach this review, but all you need to know about how management runs this place is as follows: 1 appetizer 2 entrees 1 dessert 2 bottles of wine 4 glasses of wine 1 espresso 1 Greek coffee We were charged for all, which is their absolute right. But Yelp also allows us the right to call bullshit. Tables around us were drinking mostly water, soda and at best a some glasses of wine. Common sense says you maybe buy back two glasses? Or at the very least don't charge us $40 for 4 glasses, charge us the $36 bottle price, it shows you're human. Maybe just a coffee could have been comped, or dessert? No, they charged for everything. We went to Il Mulino last week and they bought back some of their happy hour drinks. The idea that Il Mulino would do that with their next level wine, and this place wouldn't is ridiculous. Equally ridiculous that we paid the same $10 for wine at Il Mulino as we did for "wine" at this place. I posted a picture of the receipt, laughable. We live locally, to quote Pretty Woman, "big mistake, huge!" I wouldn't bother based on how they treat customers. We left the server 20%+ because it wasn't his fault management failed to train him. We won't come back. read more

The service is always great and the food is always delicious! Their dining room is also very nice!

Found my new go-to Greek in the area! Came here on a Tuesday night with a friend for dinner. We were seated immediately, then brought over menus and waters (in really cool glasses) before being asked if we were ready. It was paced a little too quickly for my liking. We hadn't been sitting for more than a minute and a half before being asked if we were ready, then were told to let her know when we decided. I was turned off at the beginning, but service took a turn for the better. I ordered a chicken gyro sandwich with just lettuce and tahini sauce and a piece of spanikopita. My friend ordered the chicken melinzana, which was stuffed eggplants topped with chicken breast, melted mozzarella, and tomato sauce. It was served with a Greek salad, pita bread, and rice pilaf. She really enjoyed her dish, and I enjoyed mine as well, and will continue to do so for at least another day since the serving was so large I barely put a dent in it. The waitress came over to ask how our meal was many times during, which was very nice. After we packed our leftovers to go, she asked if we'd like to see a dessert menu. I said yes, because I wanted to bring something home for my boyfriend, but she joked and said she shouldn't allow me since I didn't finish my dinner. She was a gem. With everything our bill came to &41.50. So reasonable for the amount of food we received! I see many trips to this establishment in my future! read more

Just got home from dinner at Santorini. Absolutely excellent experience. We were a family of six and everyone enjoyed their dinners. The fried calamari was tender and tasty. My shrimp scampi dinner included a small Greek salad which was so delicious. My son's mixed grill was also wonderful. My wife's chicken souvlaki was also a hit. Service was good and prices were fair. This is a place we would definitely revisit. Excellent!!! read more

Visit Date: January 23, 2015 I came to Merrick to hang out with my best girlfriend and we decided to come here for a late lunch. This place is absolutely incredible and is now going to be one of my Merrick favorites. The atmosphere and decor are chic & modern and along the walls they have beautiful photographs of Greece. You almost feel like you are on a vacation in Greece. Some of my favorite restaurants like this one are ones that provide great food but also take you away on a brief escape from where you really are. I had the taramasala dip but here I think they just called it tarama, the eggplant pizza and a greek salad. When the salad came they bought my friend and I a huge bowl to split between the two of us. The portion of Tarama was also pretty huge, two giant scoops and nice pieces of pita bread to dip inside of it. The eggplant pizza was amazing, almost like eggplant parm but Greek style. I also drank a cup of Greek coffee which was wonderfully strong, I cannot resist Turkish or Greek Coffee when I am visiting places of that cuisine. If you haven't tried Santorini yet I recommend it you'll wont be sorry! read more
