    Thinking fresh seafood and Greek mediterranean cuisine in a casual setting but you live in Manhattan not Astoria? Taverna Kyclades was pretty perfect in my recent experience for a small family get-together and Sunday lunch. Just look at this spread! All of it prepared really well. Service attentive without being obtrusive.

    Seafood-centric Greek food. Our party of four ordered the holoumi and the four-dip appetizer (airy and divine, one spicy). For mains, there was grilled sardines, baked sole, calamari and a sauced up shrimp dish. The shrimp was overcooked but the sauce was incredible. We had a side of steamed vegetables and sweet beets- healthy and delectable. All the seafood is on ice on full display. The waitstaff are vigilant. They shared an amazing dessert- on the house. Even with a reservation, we were seated at a banquet table and tables had to be moved. Overall, a terrific experience destination to share with friends.

    The OG Astoria location is my family's staple restaurant for seafood - one of my friends was craving seafood and this location was more convenient - I've never been before and ofc my expectations were high and they definitely met them!!! The restaurant has a great aesthetic and is a "perfect size". It's roomy and comfortable. They still have outdoor dining FYI. They had a great selection of cocktails / wines. I ended up getting the "KYCLADES" to start; as well as a bottle of wine with our main courses. We ordered a bunch of apps (can never go wrong with some grilled octopus that was grilled to perfection ) & main courses - (swordfish kebab was also cooked just right - the only complaint is that the rice was not as good as the OG location) The servers were all so welcoming and even packed up our dessert to go (because as you can see, we were in a food coma hehe). Whenever I'm in the city and want a quick Taverna fix, I will definitely be coming back!

    Really relaxed dining environment, casual. Large amounts of seating. Nice signature cocktails with a greek twist. All the seafood was exceptional including the oysters and octopus. Great option to get a bunch of different options and share it amongst your dining party. The food was flavorful and authentically greek. Its a busy spot so try to make a reservation. Loved by locals for sure
