Anassa Taverna

Had a bit of time to kill before dinner reservations. Sat at the Bar and the bartender was very nice and provided great service. They provided a hummus dip w/bread as we ordered the Grilled Shrimp along with a glass of Reisling and a cocktail that I don't recall the name. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and left us wanting more but couldn't be greedy with other reservations. I'd like to try other items on their menu with how delicious the shrimp were.

Satisfying experience in all aspects! When I'm by myself, I pay more attention to how I'm perceived. I was happy to be greeted warmly, and that I was given the choice between a table of two and a table of four. It helped that I went for a late lunch, when it was not too busy, but still, to offer a table of four made me feel so comfortable, which is more important to me than the food itself! Luckily, the food tasted so delicious, from the complimentary hummus, to the five different dips sold in threes, the grilled shrimp from the appetizers menu, the baklava, and the latte. I liked - too - that my server called me "Lady." She was respectful in a new way, and she was very attentive. In addition, I was appreciative that she didn't judge me on ordering too much. She took the order as openly as all servers should be. If I could, I would give Anassa Taverna six stars!

Beautiful restaurant with a very nice dining atmosphere~ Interior Decor has a nice mediterranean flare. The bread that they served for each table as a starter tasted freshly baked, nice crust n soft. Love, love the Anassa Chips which was lightly fried thin sliced zucchini n eggplant served with refreshing tzatziki. I had the Cobb salad which consisted of fresh vegetable n a creamy dressing. Definitely worth a try!

Had a great dinner here! The food was very good and the drinks were even better. Had really excellent gin dirty martinis and an espresso martini!

A beautiful rustic restaurant that offers an array of Greek dishes with a delicious wine and cocktail menu. The food was great, we had tuna tartar, Beets salad and a 3 option spread; eggplant, Fava and Skordalia for appetizers. Mains were lamb chops that were unfortunately not cooked to medium rare, a couple of orders of snappers which were complimented for their flavors and array of veggies that completed the dish… we also had the truffled fries, spinach with rice, Horta and Gigandes for our side. The overall food was delicious… why the 3 stars you wonder? Well the place was not set up properly where you felt you were on top of one another… you can barely hear your guests and the music was deafening… Also our Greek salad never made it out, we were not charged but it would have been nice to try it… this would have been a 5 star review if the company would have been enjoyed with more of an intimate setting and even though we were there for lunch/dinner time, the space can be spread out to accommodate everyone without having them sit on top of each other and hear others conversations.

I give this restaurant a 4.5. They served the best greek salad i’ve had in my life. The vegetables are so fresh- I typically dislike tomatoes and cucumbers but they were served perfectly in the salad. The hummus was also amazing, and the zucchini chips looked great. The restaurant itself was cute and had nice decor. I recommend this place for anyone looking for a cute and tasty/fresh meal.

Oh my, the complimentary bread and hummus were incredible. The homemade hummus was the best I have ever had. The redfish, wrapped in parchment paper with fresh vegetables was delicious.

Edit on my previous 5* review, been coming every few weeks for a bit. Today…We noticed a staggering price increase, $15 for 3 shrimp PAST FEW TIMES HAS BEEN 4 see photo below!!! on top of my $20 salad that is slightly skimpy to begin with. Chicken was $10. For 2 salads & nothing else with tip was $80!!!!!!!! That is wild even for NYC..I don’t normally feel ripped off but today, I do. AMAZING! Delicious, great service, fresh= LOVED!

We sat on the second floor which is so beautiful and perfect for a date. The entrees were delicious but the five-star of the meal was the sea bass main dish which was phenomenal! The place have great vibes, and polite staff. All in all; we had so much fun.

I live in the neighborhood. This is a good go to local spot for a nice Mediterranean meal. We started with the Greek Salad. Then we had the red snapper, lamb chops and gigantes.
