Taverna Kyclades Bayside

Just had dinner with my family and the food was incredible! The service was outstanding and our waitress Marina was fantastic. The chef made it a point to visit each table to greet everyone see how everyone was doing (and it was so busy yet he still took the time to do so ) the ambience was modern yet classic. It was a Monday night and it was absolutely packed yet you still felt like the staff was incredibly attentive to all patrons I will be back for sure, and I must say this is now become one of my favorite restaurants. The food was outstanding. Even my two picky children left happy and full

Ambiance, service and food were perfect. Grilled octopus which was good but I wouldn’t get it again. Had the pita with assorted spreads, always necessary. And the mussels… the mussels were to die for. The red sauce and feta mixture was something I’ve never had before and I would 1000% come back just for the mussels alone. House Chardonnay was very good. Perfect date night spot as well.

A wonderful venue serving up fresh seafood off the grill. The grilled octopus is definitely the highlight 🥇🥇. Let’s not forget the Spanaki & the branzino. 👍👍 Kyclades never disappoints. Nice vibes but hard to live up to the expectations of the Astoria venue. Nonetheless, we are very pleased to dine here for a group of 7. The seating was a bit tight. I had to sit on the aisle & kept getting bumped as someone walked past. Will definitely return…

Went here with my coworkers, and at first the hostess led us to a table, but she must’ve mistaken us for another party because there was another one there. It’s fine, we didn’t have a reservation so we didn’t really expect them to fit a bigger party so quickly. We were about to leave, but then the manager saw us standing outside, figuring out where to go. He offered that he could help us get a table for our group. We were sat down in five minutes. The atmosphere is in general nice, though despite it looking spacious, it did feel a little tight. The food and staff was great, and my coworkers and I had a good time

Best seafood restaurant in New York City and is on par with seafood I have eaten in Greece. The Chef is amazing and takes time out of his busy schedule to visit all of the diners to make sure they are having a great experience. Bayside is my favorite location even though they also have a location in Astoria. Everything on the menu is fresh sand delicious, however some of my favorites include the seafood pasta, mussels, calamari and octopus.

Came with my family for my mother’s birthday and everything was exceptional. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. I can’t forget to mention the incredible executive chef that was so hospitable and kind to us. We will definitely be back soon! ( I never leave reviews but felt the need to this time !)

Loved the food especially the mussels Santorini and grilled octopus. Quick and great service as well. Table for 2 is kinda tight though if you order 5 dishes.

Lots of space inside with a lively vibe and tasteful decor. We were greeted and seated at a quiet corner, and were right away waited on. Glasses were filled, and a basket of olive bread, drizzled with oilive oil, served with olive tapenade materialized. It was fantastic, and I sensed it was a harbinger of what was in store. We were advised that the kitchen was busy and made aware of what selections might take a bit longer. All that was unnecessary however, and while the octopus, greek salad, and dip selection kept us occupied, the entrees came out perfectly timed. Everything was very well prepared, and my steak was a perfect medium rare. The whole branzino was nicely prepped, and the bones came off easily. Oh yea, we were too full to get any dessert, but they came around with galaktoboureko and it was the perfect closer to a fantastic meal. This will be on our short list of go-to restaurants when close to the area.

Taverna Kyclades is one of my favorite restaurants in Bayside which is hilarious because I'm highly allergic to (all) seafood and that's majority of their menu. I'd been a fan of their Astoria location prior to the Bayside location opening. I always get the peasant salad. It's simple, but the feta, tomatoes, and cucumbers are consistently just so fresh! You can't go wrong. For entrées, I typically get chicken souvlaki or lamb chops. Again, just fresh, high quality food that's not over done or over complicated. The lemon potatoes and tzatziki are both also a must try. My family always opts for seafood and they rave about everything. The Kyclades special is a great deal. The experience dining in is always pleasant. It's beautiful in there and the service is great. In addition, we've ordered takeout and everything is always packed perfectly. The catering is also excellent and reliable. We hosted about 50 people at our house and had half the food catered from Taverna Kyclades and they did not disappoint. Highly recommend!

3.5 at most. Nice environment to dine in and it seems popular for the locals. However, the food we ordered were average/meets expectations, or no flavor at all: Lemon Potatoes: Super mushy, too boiled? Lemon favor is good. Swiss Chard: Drenched in so much oil and no flavor at all besides the oil. 100% bland. Chicken Kabob: Pretty good. Huge pieces. Some parts were dry so must deep in the creamy sauce. Fried Calamari: Pretty good. Thicker crunch coating. No flavor/seasoning though. Greek Salad: Simple salad with chunks of tomato, olives, cucumber, fetta cheese, peppers, and shredded lettuce coated in a oil based dressing, which lacked seasoning again. Grilled Fish: Some parts were overgrilled aka dry. Overall no flavor/seasoning again. Staff were friendly overall. Very simple foods with little to no seasoning and higher price point. Good complimentary dessert. Bread with an olive spread is also complimentary.

1/17/25. Opted for the grilled clams ($17.95), grilled calamari ($19.95), langoustinos ($49.95) as well as the lemon potatoes and tzatziki sauce. The calamari was amazing, so tender with the tastiest char. Langoustinos and the potatoes were good also. The clams were fresh but didn't have much flavor, and the tzatziki sauce was bland/not much garlic so I wouldn't order them again. The bartenders Julie and Angel were very attentive. Cosmos were good, not strong. The Greek white blend wine/Biblia Chora ($65) that was suggested did not disappoint. The complimentary dessert, Greek custard, was delish. Not too sweet.

I had been to the location in Astoria which is really good and had always passed by this location but never went in. I went on a Sunday night which was pretty busy but we were seated very quickly. The server was very friendly and took our order right away. We ordered a bottle of red wine which I believe was their house wine and it was semi sweet and very tasty. It paired perfectly with the branzino for two which came with a few pieces of asparagus, side of lemon potatoes and rice. The fish was very light and delicious. The lemon potatoes were a complete hit and the rice was cooked perfectly. As our appetizer, we ordered a dozen clams which were very fresh and were a great way to start the meal. They gave us this delicious flaky dessert with a creamy filling on the house. The prices are quite expensive to plan to spend around $200 for a dinner for two.

First things first parking is a capital B so be prepared to spin a few blocks It was packed in there so upon entering I said we don't have a reservation, do you have any room for two, both hosts smiled and confirmed they don't take reservations. It's small but spacious, has hints of Greek culture in every corner and on every wall. All meals end with a complimentary desert, I don't remember the name of the desert but it tastes like rice pudding without the rice. Service: 8/10 Table bread: 5/10 Greek salad: 9/10 Greek fries:7/10 Grilled chicken: 8.5/10 Branzino: 8/10 but 9/10 after adding salt

Food and service was excellent! We all had fish...branzino, salmon and swordfish, all were delicious. Ambiance is very nice. It was crowded but not too noisy. Highly recommend this restaurant.

This is a very popular Greek spot serving delicious Greek staples. This is a busy place at lunch time on a week day afternoon. The all white monochromatic decor allows the you and your food to be center stage. The service was friendly, attentive and efficient. The food is delicious and the portions were generous! Even a small salad was a feast for the eyes and your belly. I even had to take some of my salad home. And yes! That is a huge slab of feta cheese on my salad accompanying a mountain of perfectly grilled juicy chicken!- *SIGH!" reminds me of pre-COVID days.

I didn't feel like hauling it to Astoria and was so glad to discover that TK opened a Bayside location. It was a family meal and I ordered takeout. TK graciously greeted me upon arrival and handed me my order in chic branded to-go bags. We're seafood lovers and ordered the Kyclades Special, Mussels Santorini and Fried Calamari. Fully satisfied, Pop and baby bro were able another meal out of it - big portions.

Stopped in for lunch and loved the very reasonably priced lunch specials. The chicken souvlaki with rice was absolutely delicious, as was the dip assortment that we started with and the bread for the table. Complementary baklava to close out the meal was a nice touch as well. BIG portions, delicious food, great service.

Finally decided to give Tavera Kyclades another shot and this time around it was a way better experience. The hostess was warm, sociable and friendly and the same can be said about our server as well. The chef even came out and walked the floor stopping to engage with multiple tables including ours. As for the food, delicious start to finish. The apps, mains and dessert all came out in perfectly timed bursting with flavor with each bite. No complaints on out end as we ate our way through a Mediterranean seafood feast!

Our friends took us out for my birthday to this fabulous Greek restaurant in Bayside. We realized we had been to the one in Astoria with a cousin, and it was beyond amazing, so we weren't sure if this would be as good. It was even better. Unlike the Astoria location, this one is bright, white, and modern. We found a parking spot right across the street, which is almost unheard of on Bell Blvd, but we were lucky. The kitchen is open in the back so you can see everything. We were seated right away at about 6pm on a Friday night, and shortly after, the place was packed. We were served a basket of olive bread with olive tapenade to start. It was hard to pick what to eat because of so many good looking choices passing our table. Our waiter, Costas, (I'm sorry if I got it wrong Constantine) was wonderful. We never had to look for him. He checked on us all the time. The Executive Chef also stopped at every table to make sure all was good. Oh, it was! We started with appetizers for the 4 of us. We got grilled octopus, a large Villager salad, and smelts. Yes, I said smelts. You can now say you've heard of them. These tiny fish were my favpart of the whole meal. My husband was daring, so we tried them, as we remembered maybe eating them as youngsters. They are smaller than anchovies and fried with a very light batter so you could still taste the fish without it being "fishy". We had this great beer that we reordered, and they wound up bringing an extra one. When they were told, they told us to keep it. Even though we were full after apps, our friends ordered the lamb chops to share with lemon potatoes. Yum to both. I ordered an appetizer size of grilled calamari and a vegetable of broccoli rabe with feta - my second favorite of the night. Hubby decided just to eat what was there as he was full. I was told that they don't serve dessert - they SERVE you dessert. Without asking, galaktoboureko was brought to the table for each of us. It was sooo good, but hubby and I brought ours home with all our leftovers. When I came back from the restroom, I was immediately served with a giant Sparkler in a glass with everyone singing Happy Birthday to me. Never leave the table on your birthday if you don't want people singing to you. I was surprised and happy. DYI, my birthday was 3 months ago, but we were all too busy to make this wonderful night happen before. Go to Taverna Ky.... in Bayside. You will leave fulfilled, happy, and wishing your stomach could hold more.

Went on a beautiful Friday for lunch, and the place was hopping! We wanted to sit outside and had to wait a bit. We ordered some coctails and they were well made, tasty and strong. They do have lunch specials, but we opted to just order a few appetizers to share. The Greek salad came with a nice slab of feta, and my friend wanted even more feta, and they brought another slab.. for me, though, the star was the fried cheese... it had a very nice thin crust. It was fried to perfection and was delicious. I didn't care for the sausage at all, but my friend thought it was great. The dips had hits and misses... the orange one was the best, the pink the last desirable... the one in between tasted like cold garlic mashed potatoes... but not in a bad way. It came with pita bread, and we needed more, and they brought more. I appreciate that they are not wasteful and yet generous. To start, they brought out olive bread with an olive tapenade... it was quite good, but the bread was slightly over toasted. The spinach and feta pie was just okay, in my opinion, but again, my friend loved it. They also offered a complimentary dessert... phyllo dough wrapped around walnuts and soaked in simple syrup... I wasn't a fan. One of the highlights for me, which many restaurants now lack, was the amount of attention and the quality of service. Even though the place was very busy, we never waited long for any service, and they appeared happy to do it. Kudos to them for great service

Second time I visited and it's a pattern. Apps like grilled octopus amazing, salad and trio dips great. Their main courses like the chicken kebabs was horrible, so dry and very overcooked. Seems like they cooked it before hand and just grill it as people order. The fish super fresh but was cold and bland. Very disappointing on the main courses. Just stick to the apps and salads.

I walk by on my way to the gym and usually see it crowded with happy patrons. The scents always make my mouth water. So I was looking forward to trying it myself. Sadly I was disappointed by the overpriced food that was bland in taste. Service was excellent though.

Taverna is one of those places you could never tire of. Consistently good food, great atmosphere, delicious drinks! By far one of the tenderest grilled octopus of be ever eaten. Char-grilled to perfection. What's more is that the portions are great for sharing. Whether coming here with friends or family, small groups or large groups, you'll always get a fantastic meal. The food isn't overly greasy, you walk away feeling full without feeling bloated. Not pictured here is Greek salad and stuffed clams. I've been to 3 of the locations. Bayside and Astoria (the original) are best; not too fond of the east village location. If you love octopus, it is an ABSOLUTE MUST!

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. Great spot and cute atmosphere you really feel like you're away on vacation in Greece. - grilled sausage : was my standout item it was very very tasty - calamari - octopus : I do wish it was a little crispier but good overall - lamb chops : we loved these - red snapper/ dorata : very tasty fish a ton of flavor from both

Met a friend for lunch where we were both craving Greek food, so we landed on this spot. Everything on the menu looked so good but we slowed down and ordered drinks first. I was able to order a passion fruit mojito mocktail and it was very refreshing. I went the mocktail route because they didn't have any sort of iced tea. For food we decided to start with the assorted dips. Spicy feta (not really spicy but not mad about it), and the tzatziki were my favs. It came with warm pita with olive oil drizzled on top. For lunch we split a branzino and Greek salad with grilled shrimp. Lemon potatoes came as a side for our lunch special. Everything was so well done and delicious. Portions were a great size and we definitely had enough for to-go bags. The servers were pristinely dressed and our server brought over another table because of all the food we ordered (this is always the way to a foodies heart/stomach). The icing on the cake was the complimentary baklava that we were given to close out our meal. Sooooo good. The aesthetics of this place is just gorgeous. If you're looking for Greek food on Bell Blvd. you can't go wrong here.

We stopped for an early dinner, 4:30 on our way back into Manhattan. We had grilled sardines and Whiting. Both prepared so well. I'd definitely order again. This place is bright and clean! Service is A+! I definitely recommend for fresh fish and really good side dishes.

Another easy 5 star review. Service and food is extraordinary. I moved from the area some years ago, but was able to squeeze in a visit to my favorite Greek, Mediterranean restaurant. Try everything. I have yet to sample something that disappointed. Three grown men had 4 appetizers , shared salad and three main courses. All under $150 mark. Prices are more than fair for all you get. Also, bathroom rooms are well managed. They were clean and properly equipped. The kitchen is open for all to view and looks spotless, even with everyone at full speed. Enjoy.

Solid place. Less wait time here than there is in Astoria. Food was super fresh. The Spanish branzino was amazing. Our server was amazing.

I have passed this place a couple of times tried to dine here before and the wait time was 45mins didn't wait, Yesterday decided to go to lunch, walked in was seated right away. Nice ambiance very attentive server a young man and he really knew his stuff, Recommend the Broiled calamari and the octopus, both were very flavorful not chewy! The ambiance was nice not to loud. Recommend this place!!!! Will be coming back

This is my favorite restaurant in Bayside! Anytime we are in the area I try to stop in for a delicious meal. The swordfish souvlaki is amazing. We always start with a Greek salad (the small is very big and easy to share with 2-3 people) The ingredients are all fresh and very simple. Amazing food and great service every time.

There's a lot of mixed feelings on this place and understandably so. It's a great ambience without a doubt, it transports you to a Mediterranean oasis that you forget you're on a chaotic strip on Bell Blvd. Service is usually top notch but can occasionally be slowed down due to how busy they are. Food is fairly consistent the few times I've come but has never really blown me away. It's solid enough to come once in a while but would not make a regular appearance as prices are typically on the higher end for a meal. Sometimes the wait can be pretty substantial and that's where it's on the edge for me, is it really worth waiting 30+ mins for? Maybe for some, but falls a bit short on time:taste ratio in my books. But that's just my opinion and you should judge for yourself because it is worth at least trying once. Stay fat mother suckers

Expensive, over-hyped Greek cuisine. We spoke Greek, and our waitresses kept insisting on speaking English. Recommended is a light term, pushed and shoved might be better fitting here: is what she did to sell us their special. Bill with the tip and taxes ran a party of two $200. The food was delicious, loved everything, down to the wine. Bathrooms were something out of a state fair, highly unkempt, and the dining area was nightmare fuel for the average person. Way too close together, you have to tell over the table to hear your significant other. Skip this on a busy night.

I've been to this location a few times now... the food is pretty tasty, not out of this world. I think it's a bit pricey for the portions. The staff is friendly and our server was efficient. The decor is nice - modern Mediterranean vibe which you would expect at a Greek spot. I do prefer the Astoria restaurant, but this is convenient and consistent.

You will never ever go wrong with the Greek style seafood experience. Attentive service, excellent food preparation, and a Astoria buzz atmosphere makes this a returnable gem. Greta for dates, business meetings or simply chill with friends. The food has great integrity!!! Go figure

Walk-ins only. No reservations. Food was hit or miss, service was spotty also. Complimentary bread basket. Grilled octopus was the highlight, tender, good flavor. Seafood pasta was delicious also with plenty of seafood. Chicken souvlaki was a huge portion, but completely dry and touch as a rock. Kyclades special (seafood for 2) wasn't too great either. Depending on the seafood, it was either super dry and overcooked or not seasoned. Not underseasoned, but completely bland. Salmon steak was overcooked and had a ton of bones. Vegetable sides reminded me of public school boiled vegetables. Flavorless and overcooked. We went with another family and we were both surprised at how crowded and popular this place was and how it had overall great yelp reviews. We all had a completely different experience. As for service, everyone was kind, but they are clearly very busy. No water refill, dropped off the spread appetizer and didn't tell us what was what. We guessed 3 of the 4 spread, but had to flag down two waiters to figure out the fourth (first waiter didn't know). Had some good moments, but overall disappointing. My star rating legend: 5: A+ Worth a special journey (ie. I would go out of my way, maybe even take a flight somewhere just for this; exceptionally amazing) 4: A excellent, a must try, solid place 3: B good; nothing extraordinary, but would definitely go again 2: C personally would never go again (unless invited by someone and I didn't get to pick the place), but I can see how others might find something appealing 1: Fail.  I would never return and recommend no on else goes either.

I just had lunch there. I ordered the Seafood Pasta and my sister had Branzino. Both were amazing! Large portions with a complimentary gslatabouriko. Nikki served us and was excellent. We had more than enough to take home and I look forward to trying their red snapper.

The appetizers and seafood were excellent.I was not a fan of the potato chip style fries.

Servers are friendly and kind. Really appreciated their service. However, the food was so plain with flavors lacking so much. Prices were so high and the dishes didnt come anywhere near what it should have been. Big pass for us next time.

Amazing food and great service! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend!

TK serves the freshest seafood! You have to get the dips, and at least 1 fresh fish grilled to perfection! Love the fried sardines as an appetizer! I've never had a bad meal there! You can't go wrong there!

Solid solid choice! Can't go wrong with the calamari. Your entire party needs to be present before you can be seated. Just a heads up!

I came here on a Saturday Night and only had to wait 15 minutes! The interior is beautiful and there's indoor & outdoor seating. My family ordered the fried calamari, branzino for 3 people and the kyclades special. Fried calamari - 8.2/10 good crunch, solid calamari! Branzino (wild caught) - 7/10 seasoned with salt and pepper. It was enough for 3 people but it was about $120. Im not sure if it was worth the price given that we got the family special. It came with 3 sides. Kycladad Special - 5/10 disappointing. This is made for two people. It came with stuffed clam, stuffed shrimp, fillet, scallop, and lobster tail. We only liked the lobster tail. The scallops were over cooked/chewy and the stuffed clam & shrimp had so much breading on it to the point where you couldn't taste the actual seafood. Sides - a few sides came with our dishes. We got the potato fries, beets, Swiss chard, and lemon potatoes. Our favorite were the lemon potatoes!! Highly recommend! Overall, good service. The meal comes with bread to start with and dessert to follow. It's a more pricy restaurant in the area. It was good to try it out, but not sure if I'll be back for the food especially given the price.

Came here through the recommendation of a Greek colleague. Was not disappointed. The hummus/caviar/babaganoush app was well worth getting and interesting. The seafood platter was pretty good, came with a lot of food. The octopus wasn't the best we have ever had but was pretty standard. And we were able to get a fairly cheap medium sized bottle of wine. Worth the try!

Food is fresh and cooked well. Service is good. Gets crowed on the weekends. Parking is difficult no parking lot only street parking.

Oh my god do I love Greek food!!! I am so happy that I tried this place because the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! First off, if you're looking for an appetizer I'd highly recommend the grilled calamari. This was such a delicious treat, such a great decision compared to fried calamari. It was chard to perfection. Honestly I would be down to order this as an entree it was that good. I ordered the swordfish kebabs as my entree and my friend ordered the grilled octopus. Both were fantastic I absolutely loved them! I would definitely come back just for these dishes again!

I came here for my birthday dinner with my family. They don't take reservations but we were seated right away from 6pm on a Friday night. We ordered the fried anchovies and fried calamari for appetizers. We ordered grilled baby shark, seafood pasta, and the stuffed shrimp for our entrees. The prices are pretty steep; the seafood pasta cost a whopping $38... but the portions for everything was huge. We had to take a lot of our leftovers home. My favorite was the baby shark which was juicy and tender. Service was great and the free baklava as dessert was a cherry on top. I would recommend trying this place for fresh seafood! Prices are just a little expensive.

What a disappointment! I have been here before and had a wonderful time but not this past Saturday. I went there with a group of 6 for my birthday. 20 minutes after we sat down the waitress came over to the table and said " I NEED YOUR APPETIZER ORDER AND MAIN DISH ORDER RIGHT NOW BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BE OUT OF HERE BY 7:30!!" SHE WAS SOOOO RUDE THE WHOLE TIME! I understand that you have another table coming in but she could've handled it much more politely. I mean I'm a restaurant manager I would never dream of speaking to customers they way she did. I felt rushed and uncomfortable the whole time as she kept staring at us, as soon as we finished dinner she brought out my cake, she didn't even give us time to give us time for our food to settle or ask if we wanted coffee. I wish l knew her name so I could tell you, she was kind of tall, very skinny, with long black frizzy hair with a bad attitude, and a very obvious fake smile. FYI don't get the calamari or the stuffed shrimp. Good luck.

The service here is really good. However my takeout experience was way more better vs my recent dining experience. During our dining experience, the food was very lackluster overall. The veggie chips are good, I wish it was only zucchini because the eggplant was not for my liking, soggy and flavorless. All the fish we ordered (3 red snapper and branzino) were severely bland!! We asked for the salmon well done and it was raw on the inside. My grandfather was so disappointed and turned off. The good thing is that you can't come here without getting the lemon potatoes. We loved the complementary dessert at the end!

I was surprised to see how full the restaurant became at 1 PM on a dark rainy Sunday afternoon but at least I understood why they originally sat us at a tiny table for two when the restaurant was still empty. They did end up pushing two tables together for us because we had so much food. Our server was nice enough...however, a smile could've gone along way. Certain dishes were spectacular and certain dishes not so much. We started with the mussels which were delicious and that little bit of feta sprinkled on top made it even better. I thought the octopus was overly tenderized, it had a mealy texture that I didn't really enjoy. The baked stuffed clams, while hearty, was all stuffing. I couldn't taste the clam let alone any crabmeat underneath all that stuffing. Meanwhile, the fresh red snapper was cooked to perfection. It was flaky and so tender. The fried sardines were also excellent. They were fried to perfection where I was able to bite the head right off and not worry about the bones. The side of beets and Swiss chard were throwaways as they didn't have much flavor. Of course I didn't throw them away, I took them home and made a beet salad for lunch the next day and flavored up the Swiss chard and used it as a side for my dinner the next night. I appreciated the complimentary baklava because it was delicious but we were too full and they were nice enough to wrap it up for us. Altogether, a decent meal. I thought there were items missing on the menu that was on the Astoria menu.

We have been coming back every month you cannot beat the food. Plenty of sides to order from excellent service. Other than parking it is worth coming to....

The food was really good and the waitress was nice and attentive. They do take reservations and walked in and waited less than 15 minutes for our table. I would definitely recommend this place.

Food and service amazing !!!! Lunch specials are huge and are for two meals . Very crowded At lunchtime but worth it

Really fresh seafood served in a cozy setting. Had the stuffed shrimp- very tasty. Greek salad was large enough to share between 3people. The drinks are perfect. Complimentary dessert too. Service is friendly and attentive. Kind of pricy, but that's typical for seafood. Street parking so you have to pay the meters.

Taverna Kyclades is a Michelin rated restaurant known for its fresh Greek seafood. Everything I ordered was delicious and came out quickly. No reservations are accepted and I had to wait 50 minutes for my table for 2 on a Friday night. It was worth it though because I had the best grilled octopus and grilled calamari. The portion sizes are large enough to feed 2-3. The swordfish steak was enough for 3-4 with other dishes because it was larger than the size of my hand.

Great place for delicious Greek food in Bayside! We've always wanted to try this place out but they were usually pretty busy. Glad that we were finally able to eat here! The service was fantastic and the interior of the restaurant was simple and nice. We had great servers there, very helpful and came by to check on us several times. The food was good, and the seasoning was on point. However I noticed that the seafood didn't taste as fresh as I would like especially for the price that we paid. Nevertheless, I think it was probably a fluke, and we want to come back and give it another go in the future. We'll keep you posted!

I would def go for fresh seafood I had branzino the night before at another Mediterranean restaurant and the branzino here was much better. Was fluffy and delicious! I don't get the hype of lemon potatoes. I would prob get something else. It's not bad but I think I would've liked it more if it came out hot Food is good and I would def go back to try other things Parking: street Right across rush hour cookies
