As we walked in, it wasn't too busy, we got a table right away. The interior looked super pretty with brick wall background, tables and booths for dining indoor. They had outdoor seating available too. The menu had lots of interesting Mediterranean dishes. We started with the grilled octopus that had delicious seasoning with mix of olive oil and red wine vinegar. The complimentary bread was fluffy, accompanied perfectly with the octopus. The branzino was a flavorful filet, well cooked. The side of spinach was well made too. I loved the lamb kokinisto (from specials menu). The meat was so tender and the sauce was incredible. I just kept taking bites and eventually finished the whole bowl. At the end I took the rice pudding to go and loved the taste of it. Our server Stephen was super nice, paid full attention to all his tables. He told us about the specials of the day from which I actually found out about lamb kokinisto. The appetizers came out quickly but the entree took some time since we had ordered branzino and lamb. They add 3% surcharge for credit card, so take cash if you want to avoid the extra fee. But overall a solid place to enjoy excellent Mediterranean food.

But it was cook nicely. Skin crispy and juicy inside. I probably didn't have to squeeze more lemon on it. Grilled octopus was good. I wish the portion was bigger. Love the flavor. Lamb Kokinisto was soft and easy to pull apart. Overall it's a solid place for me.

So I decided to place an order from here and my God it was out of this world.! The salad was huge and filled with great quality feta a ton of olives, a ton of very fresh tomatoes like everything was top level. I also got an order of hummus, which literally is going to take me a week to eat and of course they sent it with fresh hot Pita that was out of this world.! I had to pay a little bit more because it was a delivery service, but you know what it was worth every dime and I would do it again. Out of this world.

The baba ghanoush was everything I love in a good eggplant dip and was a definite win in our book - seasoned, textured, and slightly smokey. We intuited this would be delicious by getting two containers of it, and this turned out to be a great life choice. Chicken adana is a fan favorite in our house, and it's done pretty well here. They're like elongated loaves of marinated and spiced ground chicken, and delicious with rice and a dollop of yogurt sauce. We preferred these over the chicken kebab, which were just as flavorful but quite a bit drier. Both entrees were served with a grilled tomato and pepper, which were still warm and charred from the grill. They also came with small side salads, with lightly dressed and slightly wilted greens. My husband appreciated the extra veggies with our meal, but I far preferred the warm and soft pita rounds.

Worst experience ever…read more We placed an order through Uber Eats, and apparently the restaurant gave our food to the wrong driver. When our actual driver arrived, there was no food left to pick up. Instead of taking responsibility or trying to fix the situation, the restaurant blamed us and told us we would have to place ANOTHER order so they could get paid again. How is it the customer's responsibility when the restaurant handed the order to the wrong person? We asked to speak with a manager and were told there was no manager available. We asked them to contact Uber Eats, and they claimed they had no way to contact Uber either. Meanwhile, my wife is 9 months pregnant, we're waiting for our dinner, and instead of showing even a little understanding or trying to find a solution, they basically told us to pay again for their mistake. Absolutely unacceptable customer service. Mistakes happen, but the way you handle them says everything about a business. We will not be ordering from here again.

The server greeted me upon entering. She changed the table cloth on the table I sat at and brought me the iced tea, which she poured it into a cup with ice without me having to ask. I ordered and the food came out fresh and quickly. I ate everything (no surprise). I love this food because even if you finish the entire plate you do not feel sleepy or heavy.

Whether it's a roast turkey with endless sides, spicy meat stew, a seafood extravaganza, or even no-frills Kentucky Fried Chicken, there's no holding back when the season for feasting rolls around. Located on busy Broadway in Elmwood Park, we decided on our Christmas Eve dinner at this family-owned establishment. The reservation was easily made via OpenTable. Upon arrival as first-timers, my partner and I were greeted by the owner at Taverna Mykonos and got a table for two right away in the corner where the tables are close to each other inside their cozy, very dim-lit, and elegant dining room with Christmas music playing throughout. There's a full bar with an extensive selection of Greek wines, with approximately 80% sourced from regions across Greece, as well as other excellent choices from California and Spain. The menu featured both authentic traditional Greek dishes along with many other options. The restaurant bakes all of its bread as well as its desserts. Traditionally, the meat of choice served during a Greek Christmas meal is lamb and pork. For starters, we decided to share Keftedes (Greek-style seasoned meatballs served with tzatziki dipping sauce). For our main meal, we opted for Baby Roasted Lamb with roasted potatoes and Lamb Shank with tomato orzo. Complimentary bread started our meal, and we washed it down with a sparkling spring water product of Greece. Complimentary cookies were given to each table at the end of the meal. The food was fresh, using quality ingredients, tasty, and well-presented. We enjoyed the keftedes very much, as they were moist and complemented well with the tzatziki dipping sauce. The portion was reasonable. However, we were disappointed with the Baby Roasted Lamb, as it was mostly bones with only some pieces of edible meat. Service is professional, friendly, and fast. The cost is comparable to the area. Exchanged a few words with the owner, George, about the old neighborhood in Astoria. Opa!
