Amylos Taverna

Really fantastic food, service left a little to be desired. We made 1 special request to put the onions on the side for our salad, and it arrived mixed in. We decided not to call it out and just separate the onions for the member of our party who can’t eat them. They also brought the wrong bottle of wine and we had to correct it. Aside from that, our waiter was slow to come back to the table - he was very responsive at the beginning but stopped coming over to check on us, to the point that we had to get up and ask for the check, and at one point, all of us were sitting with empty water glasses for about 10 minutes. The restaurant was not particularly busy when we were seated, so would have expected more attention to detail. That said, still really enjoy this restaurant and will definitely return.

Although I am not a huge fan of Greek restaurants, I really enjoyed this one. Great atmosphere, good service, and very fresh and tasty food. I really liked their grilled octopus, vegetable chips, and zucchini croquettes. Also, the catch of the day - black sea striped bass - was delicious. The only thing that I can complain about is baby lamb - a bit too dry to my taste.

I’ve been to Amylos twice now with my parents and my boyfriend. The food hits every single time! The appetizers are my favorite and so tasty. My parents loved the mixed platter that has a bit of everything. The drinks are really good too. The atmosphere is cozy and super inviting. This is a great spot for date night or to have dinner with friends.

Great service from Panos. Delicious food with relaxing atmosphere with the windows open. My second time in a week. Splurged a bit with the grilled octopus, squid ink linguine, and Lavraki. Would definitely come back with my family some other time.

Stumbled here on a Sunday evening. Interior was nice and clean. Food was delicious! Service could’ve been better. We waited about 10-15 after we were seated for a waitress. Then after our meal we waited about 15-20 mins to order our dessert. However, she was very nice and friendly.

This place was great. I ordered the Halibut and the lamb shank this evening and both were spectacular. The halibut was seared perfectly on top. It sat on a bed a sautéed spinach with a yellow buttery sauce that complemented each other really well. Dark Ale Lamb shank as well had a molasses based sauce which worked perfectly at enhancing the natural flavor of the lamb. Overall excellent food. Can't wait to take another trip here soon.

Overall, we had a good experience. The food and service were great. My seafood risotto was excellent, but the burger was just okay. Note: Parties of 6 require a card on file with a $25 per person no-show.

Had a great time! Our favorite dishes of the night were the Greek salad, grilled octopus and lamb chops. The ambiance was very cozy for a Date night, our server Vasilis was amazing, very attentive and gave us great recommendations.

Soooooo good!! We came here for lunch and totally loved everything. From the complimentary bread which was thin and flavorful. We ordered the Rock shrimp, it's lightly battered and it comes with spicy mayo drizzle. It's not overpowering and just very subtle. For main, I ordered the lobster roll with a side of french fries and my friend had a halibut with white wine sauce and spinach. We both tried each other's dishes and both are really good. It's an actual lobster and they're pretty generous with the serving. For $25 it's so worth it! They have a lunch special deals too, so affordable! It's a total package, we're mostly impressed by the service. Panos who was our server was very kind, warm and genuine. He's very knowledgeable with the menu, he answered all our questions and even suggested what to get. He made me a delicious coffee as well. He patiently constantly checked on us. He's very sweet and attentive that made our whole experience an unforgettable one will definitely come back!

Dark lit dining area with a warm glow sets the mood for eating in Amylos. Maybe it could be romantic, but the liveliness of the patrons gives it more of a family feel. Trendy and comforting at the same time, what stood out the most in this Greek Taverna? - Moussaka: traditional of the Greek style, it was smooth and creamy, baked with eggplants, melting in your mouth, teeth optional. - Squid inked Pasta: Can I really taste the squid ink? I couldn't, but the black pasta was a novelty. A good pasta dish if you are looking for less creamy taste. - Grill Fish: I got the Porgy, and it was fresh. Grilled fish had an option of with or without bone. They pride themselves in fish, and the flakey texture did not disappoint. The food itself was fine, but was stood out the most was the service. Our waiter was Panos, and he was the most courteous and knowledgeable server I ever had in a while. He made me felt welcomed, informed, and full. I wouldn't be surprised if he was one of the owners of Amylos. If more people were like Amylos, maybe the world won't need to move towards the self-service model.

I had a pretty rough experience here. I placed a takeout order in person around 2 PM on a Wednesday afternoon, when the restaurant was mostly empty - only two other tables were seated, and I only saw one other order pickup. I still had to wait around an hour for the food to be prepared, since as I was told, the kitchen was totally backed up. I didn't realize until I got home, but they had given me the wrong entree - calamari instead of the vegan papoutsaki, which isn't great because I can't eat fish. I was able to get a refund from the restaurant for that item over the phone. Restaurants make mistakes, and I'm inclined to look past them if the food is good. The other item, the butternut squash phyllo purses, was correct in my order. However, they were super oily to the point of being almost inedible. There was a pool of oil in the container that had leaked out from the food. Maybe the experience here is better if you eat seafood, but I don't plan to give this one another attempt.

Every time I go to this restaurant, the food never lets me down. Their food is always fresh, flavorful, and with exceptional customer service. I've had their tacos before as well as meaty dishes that fall off the bone. Always a pleasure going to this place.

Amylos was great! Astoria has so much Greek food it's hard to choose, but Amylos is a solid choice. The branzino is amazing. My friends got cocktails and loved them. Service was amazing, our waiter was awesome. We sat outside which was nice (a little noisy) but inside looks very cosy. Good place for a date night or girls night.

My friends and I went to Amylos on a Thursday night in May, apparently it was Greek night! Then restaurant had live music and people were dancing as they drank and ate. It was a surprise because none of us knew it was Greek night. I highly recommend it if you want to listen to music and enjoy the folks having a good time. If you are trying to have a quiet dinner I would skip it. This was our second time having dinner there as a group. They give you seasoned grilled pita bread at the table. Don't fill up on it because you won't get to your main course! I recommend the three spreads to start with the grilled pita bread and their grilled Octupus. I had their halibut and my friends had the short rib rigatoni, beef skewers and Greek salad. All the dishes did not disappoint. They also have a great drink menu. My friends thoroughly enjoyed the Super Paradise Mule. It's a mix of passion fruit, pear vodka, elderflower and spices. I had a glass of wine from their wine menu. They have a list of Greek wines worth trying. The service was exceptional both times we went. From the moment we walked in and were greeted by the maitre d to the bartender and finally to our extremely attentive server. The restaurant was very busy but we never felt like we were unattended to. I highly recommend if you are in queens looking for a spot to enjoy fresh Mediterranean food, great drinks, food and live Greek music !

Wow! this is an incredible, authentic greek food restaurant. The ambiance is incredible and the service is impeccable. Thank you to our waiter, Panos!!

The family and I decided to try this place for Mother's Day with no reservations. Luckily we were seated within 5 minutes ! Had a chance to order the roasted chicken, side of Mac and cheese, Salmon, and Greek burger. The roasted chicken was to die for !! It was a large portion, I managed to take half home. Had it for lunch the next day and it was oh so delicious! The salmon and Greek burger were also good. It was neatly presented. Our server was polite and seemed kind of busy but still checked on us when possible. Food also came out in a reasonable time. The ambiance was chill and everyone seemed they were celebrating Mother's Day as well. Had a great time and will be coming back and definitely ordering the roasted chicken again def recommend!

What a delicious meal, very filling too! Started off with the mussels and pita with spreads - favorite was the spicy feta one. The salmon tartare was my favorite - so refreshing! Then ordered the grilled platter with chicken, sausage, beef - said it was for two people only but us four couldn't even finish it. The drinks were yummy and presented so nicely, enjoyed the butterfly effect very much. Our server was very attentive and friendly, only thing is when another table was seating they chose the table next to us with our stroller. When there were so many other tables available, we had to maneuver the stroller , felt bad cause there wasn't much room for the other guests - looked very tight.

I'll start with the decor, which I really loved! This place is decorated well and the way it was furnished felt like I was on vacation instead of a very busy New York. The staff were all phenomenal. They were attentive and hospitable and made our experience enjoyable! I actually really enjoyed the complimentary pita - it was soft, seasoned well, and had a good olive oil taste. The oysters were also fine, though they only had the East oysters available when we went and I believe you had to get them in increments of 6 pieces. The main reason I did not give 5 stars was because of the Seafood Truffle Risotto. Overall, the flavors were good BUT my risotto was way too salty and made it difficult to eat the whole thing. Maybe it was just today? If that's the case, then there needs to be consistency from plate to plate.

We come back to Amylos when we're in the area for activities / museum. There are so many restaurants in Astoria, but we come back from time to time because this place is airy, spacious, the food is generally good, and the service is good. For brunch we ordered a few apps to share and burgers. The food came very quickly and everything was good - except for the veggie chips, which I hoped would be crispy. The complimentary bread was good as always, I could eat two baskets of it if I didn't watch myself. It is very generous of the restaurant to provide such a nice bread basket, when so many places charge $8-10 for bread and butter now.

This restaurant is absolutely beautiful and well kept! The portions are definitely well worth it and of high quality for sure The Lamb Shank was a bit on the dryer end and could use a bit more flavour. The squid ink linguini was ace!!! And that cheesecake baklava - to dieeeee for!! Definitely will be returning

Great place for an inexpensive meal. Very attentive service from a server to a busboy. It's worth a visit

Loved the atmosphere. It was recommended by my JetBlue card but everything tasted so delicious. The server was so attentive but not overbearing and the food was absolutely perfect. The ambience was exquisite.

While Astoria is overflowing with Greek restaurants, choosing one out of the many was easy thanks to Amylos' outstanding menu. It contained more than just the usual dishes commonly found in Greek cuisine, and I was dying to try them. Complimentary basket of pita bread Sooo good; very flavorful. I couldn't stop eating them even though I knew I had to save my stomach for the main courses! 10/10 Spanakopita ($15; Layers of phyllo, spinach, feta cheese, side of mixed greens) I didn't think I would like this but it was the best appetizer of the night. The crispy, flaky layers of dough embracing the spinach and cheese were pure perfection. 10/10 Fried Calamari ($17; Mediterranean calamari, lemon, extra virgin olive oil) When my friend asked if we wanted it grilled or fried, I immediately said fried. Even though grilled calamari is pretty yummy at Greek places, there's no better way to have it than fried for me. The ones here taste like any other good calamari out there. 9/10 Atherina (crispy, Mediterranean small fish) I usually don't eat small fish because they freak me out but it wasn't that bad because you can't really see the eyes. It was addicting like chips. 7/10 Crabcake ($19, Colossal crab, fried chickpeas, greek yogurt tartar sauce) This was divine. I couldn't tell that the tartar sauce was made out of Greek yogurt, but it makes me happy to think that this dish was slightly healthier than normal! The fried chickpeas were a nice addition even though I wasn't sure what they were at first. The crabcake was pleasantly crabby and quite sizeable for an appetizer. I had it as my main dish. 8/10 Bao Buns Incredibly disappointing; don't order this!! I almost always order bao buns if I see them on the menu, but I've come to realize that it's a dish that requires skills. Amylos reminded me of that once again. First, the meat was sooo dry. However, it did get a tiny bit more juicy when I got to the middle of the bun. Second, there was not enough sauce. Part of what makes bao buns so good is their sauciness, which was clearly lacking here. I kind of forced myself to down this even though it was meh. 2/10 Moussaka ($25, Layers of eggplant, zucchini, potato, spiced ground beef, nutmeg béchamel) Good at first but after a couple more bites it becomes very heavy and filling. I know this dish is 90% meat but sheesh, it was way too much meat for me. Perhaps adding a bit more of a balance such as more eggplants in the bottom layer will do the trick. 6/10 Lava chocolate cake ($13, fresh cream, Tahitian vanilla ice cream) Yum! I love how big the scoop of ice cream was, and I can confirm lava flowed out of the cake. I asked them to serve it as a surprise for the birthday girl and they stuck a sparkler in it. They pulled off the surprise amazingly, as they did with the many others that night. 9/10 I didn't like how as the night progressed, the lights got dimmer and the music louder. Maybe that's the grandma in me talking but I don't think all that extra ambiance was necessary! We found parking across the street after 10 minutes of looking.

I have dined here 2x before and both times have been nothing but great service and amazing food. I decided to take my mom out for her bday yesterday for dinner. The food was amazing as usual (my mom enjoyed the lamb chops), but the service?! 1 star. To start off, we overheard our waiter catch attitude with the couple dining next to us over a mistake he had made with their order. Then, once everyone at our table was ready to order, we tried getting his attention to come over to our table, to which he replied with a hand up in the air, motioning us to wait, while he stayed back to chat with the bartender and attend to other dining parties nearby. Our waiter last night was not attentive to our table, not clearly as attentive as he was to some other tables. It was really disappointing as we were out to celebrate my mom at a fine restaurant but were met with lackluster service. We really enjoyed the food but if we ever come back, I sure hope we don't get waited by him again.

First time at Amylos and it was unforgettable! My husband and I have a beautiful night there, it was must better with the most amazing service from staff PANOS make you feel like home. The atmosphere brought you life with great music, The food was incredible taste I get a bottle of wine, we are in love with Greek food, it was a great night, I would recommended to everyone to try! Come if you want to have an amazing time

I came to Amylos to celebrate my birthday on a recent Saturday night with a small group of good friends. The main reason I picked this place is because I saw they have lamb shank on the menu and I was in the mood. It did not hurt that it a beautiful and spacious space as well. I made a 6:30pm reservation and arrived early - took a seat at the bar to wait for my friends to arrive. I noticed an impressive collection of edible and decorative flowers and herbs for the drinks despite this I ordered a Mythos, but my partner in crime's Muse cocktail was pretty as it was delicious. Once seated we ordered a trio of dips - Tzatziki, Melitzanosalata, Hummus along with the Taramosalata which had an addition of crispy prosciutto, bacon and caramelized pearl onions - my friend commented "it tasty fishy" not realizing it is whipped fish roe. For me it didn't have enough of the flavor - the Tzatziki was the stand out dip. Grilled calamari was beautifully presented but average tasting. Since it was a celebration I got carried away a bit and over ordered a dish too many on the mains, but there was plenty of food for everyone and leftovers to take home. The roasted and grilled meats were all very good. The lamb shank on a bed of smoked eggplant puree was fall over the bone tender and rich in flavor - this what drew me here and it hit the spot! The mixed grilled offered plenty of baby lamb, roasted chicken (which came coated and on the side a surprisingly tasty mustard sauce I don't usually see in Greek kitchens), juicy pork-leek sausage and beef skewers. Since I also ordered additional baby lamb the meat made tasty leftovers the next day. The Black Sea Bass I mistakenly ordered deboned thinking it would be easier for the group to share, but next time I will order the whole fish. The brussel sprouts and horta were disappointing. The horta looked more like bok choy and less like dandelion greens. Someone in my party requested moussaka and I thought it was comforting and delicious. The service here was top notch and I enjoyed the vibe hearing some 80s electropop classics that spoke to my Gen X heart. The wide ranging menu, extensive cocktail menu along with beautiful decor makes this a step up from the typical Greek taverna - a great spot for a group or a date, or a group of dates!

come here so often but the last time we were here we didn't exp the best service . overall the food is bomb love their fish and lemon potatoes and also their dips

TLDR- 3.5 a nice upscale date night spot. Has some fancy elements but is an awkward spot of "fancy, but not as fancy as the price may suggest". We had an enjoyable dinner at Amylos, with wonderful service and a smooth experience. Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable, recommending things based on "what we were feeling today" and providing feedback to our questions. Getting the scallops and short rib entrees, our order came out in ~20 minutes. The short rib was absolutely delicious, but the scallops were incredibly chewy and a bit disappointing. The baklava cheesecake for dessert was also a bit squishy and hard to cut into, but alright. These points aside, the energy/ambiance bugged me a bit- for $30-40 a plate, I was expecting something more, but it felt pretty sterile and cold. Might have just been a fluke/the timing with us eating dinner at 6, but definitely something I noticed.

Came here for a dinner with a close friend on a Sunday night. We made a reservation for 6:30p - there were plenty of tables available but by the time we left around 8p the place filled up. Out of everything we got, our absolute favorite were the scallops. The scallops were perfectly cooked and seared. The sweetness from the butternut purée and bacon marmalade really complemented the scallops. We both took one bite of the scallops and aggressively nodded our heads like, "this is IT". We also ordered the wild sea bass to share, for 2lb it came out to $72. Fish was cooked well - soft and flaky. For the order, it came with 2 sides, EXCLUDING the Greek style Mac and cheese (unfortunately). We got the truffle fries (yum) and Brussels sprouts. The sprouts we can tell were probably well roasted and crispy at one point, but it was just oily and soggy when we got it. Service is great and prompt. Would def come back for the scallops.

I had a great experience at Amylos. The menu selection is wide and offers delicious greek dishes. Our server was also very helpful and attentive. Moussaka croquettes and the calamari were my favorite. I also really liked the butterfly effect cocktail.

Came here today and I just want to say Panos was hands down the BEST waiter!! From the recommendations for wine, food options to pair, dessert, and even just me asking what drink is in the cute pineapple. He was very personable and friendly which made the experience here complete. The food was amazing. Nothing disappointing in any way. I would definitely come back here for a birthday or another date night because the ambiance is super cute inside and again, nothing was disappointing. Definitely a good spot for a group dinner as well. This is really a gem of the neighborhood!

We were able to book a reservation for 5 less than a weeks notice and be accommodated which was great. Size is spacious and nicely decorated. Staff is very accommodating. They have a large cocktail/ drink selection with artisan drinks. I'm a sucker for mediterranean food, and this place definitely took the cake. They offer a few specials which are great for sharing.

Been here multiple times. It's an experience. I feel like I'm back in Greece because of their Hospitality Food And the overall vibe is charming I love to sit with my family, order some Greek wine and enjoy their offerings. My daughter lives close by and we're lucky to have them in this area of queens.

Great meal. Great value with the Prix fixe lunch menu. Multiple choices. All great. We had the lamb with orzo. The moussaka was good. Branzini looked great. The spanakopita was great. The pita (bread) basket for the table was really delicious. We had 2! I was there with my college friends. We all enjoyed every bite. Our server,Panos, was really great. The hostess was really helpful too. Looking forward to visiting again! Carolyn H.

I've come here a couple times with my family, once recently and before for New Years eve. Both times the ambiance is great in the night time. They have a bar here and the food is amazing.

Love the decor, really takes you back to Greece. The food, the flavors are incredible delicious, good portions and exotic drink selections!! I totally recommend this restaurant.

The food was really good. The halibut was cooked to perfection and the lemon sauce really made the dish.

Make a reservation online and review was good. First time there, good food and waiter service was amazing! Definitely recommended to go

Looking for fun Vday dinner for my wife and I in Astoria, Amylos was on our list for awhile. We went of Vday and enjoyed the pre-fix 5 course menu. We were pretty early for dinner (started around 6pm), not many guests had arrived yet, which was nice for taking photos around their beautiful interior. We started off with some house cocktails- the ode and logos, which were delicious and beautifully presented. The oysters were amazing and the dry ice around it made for a picturesque experience. For the first course we did both the Amylos salad and truffle burrata. Both were nice and light. The second course we went with the Langoustine and octopus which were delectable. Portions were good as to not get too full before the entree. Main course we went with the king crab and lamb rack. Lamb was a little undercooked but the chef fixed that right away. I do wish they gave a little more crab meat on top of the bouillabaisse, especially for $100 pp. we ended the night with the cacao pod and crème brûlée flight. I enjoyed the flight being in eggshells. Service was phenomenal and professional. Overall a great pre-fix menu and dining experience.

The food was nicely presented and all tasted seasoned and flavorful. Delicious!! Will definitely be back to try the other fun yummy cocktails and dishes. Panos D, our server was very attentive, social, friendly and kept coming by to check in on us. Restaurant was located on the corner, easy to spot. The ambiance was simple on the dimmer side in terms of lighting. We were seated near the outer aisle but the back sitting area seemed large spacious and more comfortable with some things to look around to admire on the walls (notice as it was toward the back to head downstairs toward the restroom). If you're in the Astoria area craving Mediterranean food this would be one of my top five.

My friends and I were craving Greek food tonight, so where is the best area to go for it? Astoria! We visited Amylos taverna on Broadway & 34th street. This was one of the best experiences we have ever had in a greek restaurant. By the time we arrived the hostess greeted us with a big smile and took us to our table right away. We were seated in the main dining area next to the bar which was full of the top-shelf liquors that can someone ever find in a testaurant. We got so excited! The server came right away, introduced himself and kindly gave us the menus after serving us water. Most of us ordered our drinks right away. The menu was so rich and there were too many different options to choose from. We started with an order of the veggie chips, a Greek salad, bao buns filled with short rib and rock shrimp. Everything was delicious! As main courses we ordered a fresh 3lb Pink Snapper which was delicate and was melting in your mouth, the halibut which was flavorful over the avgolemono soup and the lamchops that were nicely grilled and tender over fresh oregano and olive oil. Our culinary journey came to an end after the lava cake and the baklava cheesecake came to our table. Literally we "destroyed" both in a minute! The food tasted very clean and flavorful and the portions were big! Also the ambiance is so beautiful and warm. Hands down! This is one of the best Greek restaurants in NY! Now whenever we want Greek food we know where to go! And we are coming back soon. Good job guys. This place smells like Manhattan. I highly recommend it!

I brought my mom to try the delicious dishes at Amylos since I had been here before. She loved the appetizers and her main dish, which was the lamb chops. I got the seafood ink pasta dish. Amazing food every time.

On a nice warm summer Friday evening, my party of three decided to visit one of our friends and explore Astoria. We love the ambiance and service was impeccable. The server and host accommodated us when we requested from outdoor to indoor seating due to summer heat and bugs. We order the babaganoush to share and each ordered a main course. Mine was the short ribs, it was perfectly cook on a bed of garlic potato puree. One of my friends ordered lamb shank was by far my favorite out of the three, it was fall off the bones and perfect mix of flavor of savory and sweet. My other friend ordered the fish and it was slightly dry. Overall, it is a nice neighborhood hang.

Been here some months ago. Me and my partner ordered the bottomless brunch, which is supposed to include unlimited refills for your glass of mimosa/Bellini. Well, our server came only 7 times in 90 minutes to refill our drink (and if you know anything about bottomless, you know this is SLOW SERVICE), leaving us with an empty glass pretty often. The outdoor seating is nice. Food is okay. We ordered a mixed grill and I think there were too many fatty parts and looked "rough", but my boyfriend liked it.

We had the chance of having dinner here on a recent Friday evening. We made a reservation in advance and when we arrived we were greeted by their personable hostess who sat us down immediately after confirming our confirmation. P.S. they require the entire party to be present before arriving. Once we were seated they brought us menus and complimentary bread. When it came time to order I decided to go with the lamb burger. FYI, this has a large selection of seafood focused dishes but also has a healthy variety of other plates. The burger was filling and super tasty! The restaurant reminds me of a more upscale Olive Garden but obviously with a more relaxed and Greek fare. Overall a good spot for groups and family outings. Bar seemed to be great for dining too which is a rarity! Definitely visit if you're in the area.

Beautiful ambiance, dimly lit. Great food and service. We were seated right away, the staff was very friendly and attentive. For appetizer we started with the veggie chips, the zucchini was very greasy, the eggplant was great. I ordered the branzino it was delicious, cooked to perfection in a lemon sauce, served with lemon potatoes & asparagus. My date ordered the lamb chop which was presented really well and tasted as good as it looked. For dessert we shared the baklava cheesecake which was an interesting combination, it was ok, not as good as expected. Great cocktails, the yuzu jalapeño in very spicy, the lychee spritz was very light

Great neighborhood restaurant with an extensive quality menu. Big portions, so bring your appetite. Astoria neighborhood is super cute, would be a great place to return to.

I can't get over this restaurant. It was truly an amazing experience. It was my second time at this spot, but there was something special about this time. We were celebrating the union of two beautiful souls. I ordered the prawns dish and it was out of this world. The only situation with this order is that it did not bring a side for such a large dish. I kept fighting to take out the meat of the prawns, but it was so worth it. I don't know what seasoning is in theses meals but it's to die for. Simple and then it packs so much flavor. The service is also amazing and they want to make sure you are having an AmaIng experience. Let's start with the complimentary homemade pita bread, it would just melt in my mouth and all the flavors came out. It really had me craving it every day. I knew that I needed to take it home with me. I will also mention that the bathroom is downstairs, which contains a flight of stairs. They do have an elevator for accessibility purposes which is a huge plus for me ' inclusion

It has been a year or so since I got the dark ale lamb shank again, and while it was still good, the sauce wasn't as deep or viscous as the first couple of times I had it. The lamb was still tender and not dry, but the dish isn't the go to that it used to be anymore for me. I would still recommend it though.

Took family to celebrate a birthday here since it always look so inviting and it's usually crowded. The service was excellent and is constantly filling water glasses, changing out plates and silverware after appetizers, and responsive to requests. So 4-stars for service. Appetizers were fried calamari and sushi grade octopus. The calamari were large size ones and very tender. A nice change from the usual smaller size and frozen that's served at many other restaurants. The octopus was also extremely tender. It wasn't gummy but a nice texture. So 4 stars for appetizers. Now for the main courses: the kebab gyro was average. The short ribs were rich so we took most of it home for lunch tomorrow. The squid ink was another rich dish with good flavor. The shrimp linguini was tasty from a tough critic so that's a plus. The halibut but good but on the smaller side and leaves you wanting more to fill your tummy. The lamp chops was eaten at its entirety. Last, the steak was good. Overall, great presentation and good. We would give it a 3.5 stars. There is an offer when you check in with Yelp to get a free cocktail. When I showed it to the waiter to request it to be reflected in the bill since we ordered 2 cocktails. I was told it is only for a glass of wine or beer. The offer said free cocktail so it should have been more clear if there are limitations. Also we asked for a a refill of a pita bread basket but was surprised that it was charged $6 for the item. Don't think it should have been. The final bill was almost $400 and so it felt petty. A place to visit if you're looking for a place to try. There's good and some things that might need to be improved. Service was excellent.

Every single course was absolute perfection. The service was a bit inconsistent at times but it was quite crowded on a Saturday night. Ambiance was beautiful, great music as well. I don't think you can go wrong with any seafood item and the baklava cheesecake was delicious.

Coming to Amylos Taverna for dinner was an unplanned visit but we were blown away by the great food (and drinks) and amazing service. The whole chic vibe and music was fantastic too, it felt like we were transported to Greece! We had Langoustine, scallops and octopus... and can't wait to go back and try more!

So I have to be honest...I came here for the first time when the place opened, and everything was delicious. Since then, I've been back four times, and while the service and ambiance was great, the food was disappointing and not worth the prices. So when my mom, on her birthday, wanted to go back to try it again (she was always a fan of the ambiance), I wasn't exactly looking forward to it. I don't know what happened, but god damn, was the night a return to form. Every. Single. Plate. Was. Delicious. The fig salad was scrumptious. The butternut squash puffs were like dessert for an appetizer. The burrata melted in your mouth. Cocktails were elegant and hit all the right notes. Hell even the pita bread was incredible! And my mom's fish and my scallops (even though they were on the small side, but that's on me...I get hungry lol) were fantastic. Also I have to give a shout out to the entire wait staff and Lucky in particular. They were all so sweet and Lucky was so helpful in helping us choose everything. When we ordered dessert (the lava cake and the Greek yogurt, both delicious and perfect endings), he slyly went "and we're celebrating a birthday, right...?" And everyone sang to my mom. (And he even gave us both a shot of masitha after we were talking about how good it was earlier in the meal!) Lovely guy. Honestly, it was a perfect night in every way and my mom just texted about how much fun she had. Thanks to everyone for such a great night. We will definitely be returning. Glad to have ya back on top.

My cousin from out of town was here, so we decided to try Amylos based off all the great reviews. The food was below average here, we couldn't even get through our entrees. My cousin had ordered a fish dish which was over cooked and came out cold, I'm not sure why I ordered Cacio de Pepe but it was horribly made- super oily, drenched in all sorts of odd flavors, horrible presentation, we also had a chicken gyro which was flavorless and dry. Our server started off attentive, and that changed fast. We asked for our bill he hands it over to us- we are ready to pay immediately and he goes to take the orders of the huge party behind us with over 15 guest. Even after trying to get his attention, and waving at him he came back to receive the payment. We had to bring the check up to the hostess in the front for her to bring back to the server. The least he could've done was finish us off before starting to attend to the larger party. Over $200 later we were so disappointed. Dinner sucked, service sucked :(

I came here for a work holiday dinner and luckily my boss paid for the food it's super expensive butttt BUTTT OMG ITS WORTH IT!! That's how good it was you have to try the short rib rigatoni, rock shrimp, the spreads... ALL THE SPREADS!!! Oh and the Pomegranate Margarita I will legit save up to go back here for my birthday or something. Also great ambiance, very chill and server was nice told us some recommendations and told us about his own like. Size of the portions were pretty decent. It left such a good impression on me with Greek / Mediterranean Food as I never had it in my life and that left such an amazingly good impression. I recommend it for a very special occasion given the pricing unless you got $$ like that.

I recently visited a Amylos Taverna and I would highly recommend. The restaurant had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, and the service was exceptional. But the real star of the show was the food. I usually come here once a month. We started with the bronzino, which was cooked to perfection and had a wonderful flavor. The octopus was also a standout dish, with a tender texture and a delicious charred flavor. The free flatbread pita soaked in oil was warm and crispy, and the Greek salad was fresh and flavorful. We also got the lamb chops which were delicious. Overall, I would rate this place an 8 out of 10. The food was great, and the service was good - it could be a little faster sometimes.

Such delicious and fresh Greek food served here at Amylos! This place is honestly a pescatarians dream with all the amazing seafood dishes offered. I recommend making a reservation during weekend nights since it got pretty packed on Saturday night. We started with the spreads which included melitzanosata (eggplant), hummus, and tyrokafteri (spiced feta). The spiced feta was definitely a crowd favorite, and the pita was absolutely delicious. We also got the spanakopita, the grilled calamari, the salmon tartare, and the scallops. Everything was so so good and I would 100% go back for more. The drinks were also delicious, my favorite being the figenza & super paradise mule (both good options for those who like their drinks on the sweeter side). Service was also fast and friendly, our food came out super quick! The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and perfect for date night or hanging with friends.
