Simply the best!!! Everything was amazing, as usual! From the amazing drinks to the delicious food this restaurant always does it right! Everything on the menu was cooked and prepared perfectly. Our waiter was also fabulous and very attentive always checking in and making the night very special for my birthday celebration last night with drinks and sparklers! My party and I all had a great time and will be back for sure!!!!!

Beautiful Greek restaurant with super tasty food . Celebrate my birthday here and come back here again and again . Delicious zucchini tower, romaine salad, grill octopus, lobster pasta and so much more. One of my favourite sangria as well. Perfect service and great atmosphere. Recommend for every seafood lover .

The food was so good. I didn't even have a chance to take a photo of it. The saganaki was one of the best I've ever had in my life. I don't know what they put on it but it was very sweet and tasted amazing. I got the pork chops and they were cooked to perfection and the lemon potatoes I had were great as well. The place also has an amazing atmosphere with a great selection of music and great selection of classic Greek movies playing on their TVs.

I recommend the Branzino and the octopus is to die for!! Oh and usually I dont like gingery drinks but the Athena was on point! My husband had the Lobster pasta which was also delicious?

The good was delicious, the cocktails were also very tasty and potent and the service was excellent. We enjoyed the mussels, swordfish and kofta kebabs with truffle fries, and it was all very good. After a busy week including a holiday weekend, they were out of a lot of items on the menu, but that didn't make it hard to choose. There were still plenty of great options. We ate outside but the inside was beautiful and I could see it being used for classy private events. I'd love to go again!

This was my first time in this beautiful restaurant ,service was excellent, the cocktails are impressive, very hard to get reservations on the weekends but more importantly the food is delicious ?, just a side note that it's a bit pricey for Astoria ?

It was the first Greek Easter without my parents and my daughter decided this was the place. Once the heater was turned on for outdoor dining, it was very pleasant. The dips were excellent, the octopus done correctly. The main courses...kefte and lamb were done well...unfortunately my chicken was a bit dry. Overall a very nice restaurant and I would definitely visit it again.

Delicious greek resturant with very tasteful Decor. They knocked it out of the park with the sea bass. Took a while for the dish to come out of the kitchen but was worth the wait as it was perfectly cooked.

My husband went to Anassa a few days ago with friends and he liked it so I decided to make reservations for his birthday. While my husband was looking for parking, I walked into Anassa Astoria to start getting the table. As soon as I walked in the host just looked at my top to bottom without making any gestures. As a part of the minority (afrolatina) I felt very uncomfortable the way she looked at me but I didn’t make a big deal out it. I told her I have a reservation for the night. She couldn’t find the reservation because I made the reservation by accident in the city instead of Astoria. I asked the host if there’s could be something she could do because it was my husband’s birthday. She said “ I am so sorry but we are fully book for the night there’s nothing we can do”. I went outside to tell my husband they were fully book for the night and they had no tables available for the night. My husband decided to walk inside and ask for himself (forgot to mention my husband is a handsome white man). As soon as he walked inside and asked for a table for two, “miraculously” a table was available without any issues or him having to do any effort . I felt discriminated against and felt very uncomfortable. Never in my life I experience racism in a restaurant, It felt horrible and even ruined my husband’s special day because I couldn’t stop crying for the night. I will never go back to this restaurant and I hope they can fix their problem with diversity and welcome everyone regardless on their apearence.

Had a nice evening date in their outdoor seating cocoon which was well ventilated and warm! Drinks are great. And if you’re into warm bread with spreads, try their Tirokafteri spread (spicy feta)!!
