We stopped in for lunch today and were warmly greeted and seated right away. We were also thanked on our way out, which was a nice touch. Service: Unfortunately, the service was hit or miss. No one checked on us after our food arrived. My fork was cleared with the appetizer plate and never replaced, so I eventually took utensils from an empty nearby table. My seafood pasta also came with shellfish, but no dish was provided for the shells. No one checked on us until we almost finished our mains. Food: The lemon drop martini was okay. The char-grilled octopus was tasty, but the Mykonos seafood pasta was bland. Hubby enjoyed his Keftedes and burger, although his burger arrived with a bun despite requesting it without one. The salad that came with it was delicious -- I actually enjoyed it more than my pasta! Overall: A warm welcome and some good dishes, but the bland pasta and inattentive service made this a mixed experience. read more

My twin 12-year-old boys and I chose Aegean Breeze for dinner on our first night in the area. We are big fans of Greek food and they didn't disappoint. They were really quiet when we went so there wasn't much atmosphere to mention, but the decor was typical for a Mediterranean Restaurant, which is fun and enjoyable. We tried their Grilled Loukaniko as an appetizer, which we hadn't had before and enjoyed it a lot more than expected. Wish we hadn't eaten all the pita they gave us so quickly as it would have been even more delicious together. I had my usual, a Traditional Gyro with a Greek Salad on the side, a perfect choice. The salad was the best I have ever had. One of my sons had the Berkshire Club, which he was very happy with. He could only eat half so we took the other half with us, and it was still good as a shared breakfast the next morning. My other son had a Salmon Burger and a Greek Salad, which he ate all of. We didn't have enough room for dessert at the restaurant, but we had to try their traditional Baklava, so we ordered a piece to-go to share. It met all expectations. The service was satisfactory, nothing memorable, but pleasant. We had no complaints and would love to go back again. read more

Service was very good. Nice atmosphere and the food was very good. I would return. Looks like they have lots of outdoor seating for nicer weather than we had today. read more

Food quality / price (value) rating 8. The atmosphere is eclectic Greek. I ate at the bar, which has 10 seats, and had the Grilled Swordfish with lemon potatoes. No bread or salad was included. There was not much effort put into the presentation. Boiled potatoes and a filet of about 7 to 8 ounces. They could have, at the very least, added some color red. The lemon taste in the potatoes was almost indiscernible. The prices, service and cocktails were good, and the restaurant is cozy with an interesting layout. They definitely need to do a thorough dusting of the decorations, however. They do not have a Happy Hour, and don't offer any live entertainment. read more

Friendly service. No wait time. Sparsely peopled but not empty on a Thursday night. Island tomato salad flavorful if not a bit boring. Tzatziki with pita was delicious. Lamb gyro was fake. Meat is uniformly rounded at the ends and tastes processed. Chicken souvlaki pita was ok. Greek Cabernet at $11 per glass was just fine. Sorry we eat in Astoria all the time and obviously compare all Greek places to home, so not impressed. But not awful. read more

We ordered takeout for dinner and unfortunately it was not as good as the reviews claimed. I ordered a chicken kebab dinner platter with rice and there was no way the chicken had come off of a kebab. There was no char and barely a sear on the meat. Not to mention that it was pretty dry and bland. If I had not asked for extra tzatziki, it may have been even tougher to eat. My wife ordered a chicken souvlaki pita sandwich which she said was not bad. Finally, my daughter ordered a grilled cheese kids meal which was cheese inside of pita and their in house sliced potato's. My daughter enjoyed her meal. I did appreciate their attention to my daughter's food allergies. read more

Delish gyros, moussaka, spanakopita and a chicken salad sandwich for the full one with us! The service was fine. We ordered Greek fries for the table and they were very thinly sliced potatoes fried and sprinkled with salt and oregano. I thought it would have been a little more exciting for the money- The plate was $8 or $10. Too much for the dish. The Sandwich looked good and that diner said it was very good. Our Greek dishes were all good. The salads were fresh and crunchy. There was plenty of meat in my gyro and the tzaziki was excellent. We enjoyed our dinner in the garden dining area. Lovely surroundings. read more

A-one! A wonderful dining experience with wonderful food, delightful staff and an immaculate interior.

Best Gyro I have ever had, food was out with 5 minutes..a wonderful margarita, had a seat next to the warm fire...my waitress was so friendly and kind, and informed me that in the summer season they open up the front of the restaurant where you are surrounded by flowers and gardens...I can not wait to come back in the spring/summer season to enjoy the other half of this GEM of a restaurant! read more

Everything! They make the most delicious Greek shrimp scampi, and I love their Greek salad. The owners are so very nice.

Really enjoyed my lunch here yesterday. I've been to Greece and this meal made me feel like I was back. Love that the wraps came with an option of fries or salad. The food overall was fresh and delicious and the prices were fair. The service was friendly and attentive. The space was cozy and welcoming as well, I will be back. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner. I ordered the baked feta (with tomatoes) as my appetizer. I had the Greek salad with grilled salmon as my dinner. The food was delicious. The baked feta was perfectly done and was not too salty. The salad was excellent. I appreciate the extra attention they gave to the toppings. For example, they took the seeds out of the cucumbers. The portion size was just right. My husband had the grape leaves, followed by the beet salad with gyro. It was delicious. I love the Greek offerings and the music. They offer a huge variety as far as meals go. I will definitely eat here again when I'm back in the area. read more

I had the whole fish with lemon potatoes and it was super fresh and grilled perfectly. The outdoor seating out front was cute. The staff lovely. My friend had a seafood dish in red sauce called santorini which she really enjoyed as well. read more

This place expanded during Covid with a covered tent and now it is huge. Excellent salads, spanakopitas, and fried fish. Staff is very attentive and prices are reasonable. Located in a mall type location with old style separate buildings and several other eateries. Easy parking and if you don't like this restaurant you can always go to another and you won't have to repark. read more

Came for Thursday lobster night which we have enjoyed in the past. My lobsters came out in ten minutes and were dry and overcooked. They both were tasteless and barely edible. I asked the waitress if they were cooked to order she insisted it was. However, the lobster did not have any water in the shell or claws and were dried out. The rice had a garlicky taste. She made no effort to address our complaints. We won't be back. read more

We've driven by here many times and now we feel like idiots for not trying it until tonight! Husband had avgolemono soup as a starter and I had tzatziki; then he had lamb stew and I had moussaka. Food was top-notch, service was friendly and very fast, and the decor and ambiance were nice, too. Portions were huge, as at all Greek places, so next time we won't order starters, as good as they were. read more

For some reason, I have never been here. But I do want to go back and give it a try. Seems like a nice family-run Greek restaurant with quality food. Perfect for a family dinner, but probably not for a first date or special occasion. My wife and I each ordered on of the Greek specialties. I had the Braised Lamb Ragout Stew, which was flavorful enough that I finished the portion. I think it could have had more Greek spices in it. Good, but I won't order it again. My wife had the Filet of Sole "Plaki" Style. She said that the sauce overpowered the sole and she could barely taste the fish. I think the fault was ours. We should have ordered the more simple items on the menu, such as the kebobs or pita wraps. My guess is that they are the items most commonly ordered. And, they looked good. The person at the table next to me said the best thing to do is to have a dinner of appetizers. He particularly suggested the Char Grilled Octopus and the Grilled Loukaniko (lamb and pork sausage). They both looked great. I think that ordering those with a Greek salad will be what I do next time. read more

Very cozy Greek restaurant with an authentic feel to it + a comprehensive menu I came here with my family and we split a ton of dishes including the hummus, octopus, and baked cheese. I also got the Aegean Breeze salad for myself. Everything was very solid, especially the octopus and baked cheese which were both delicious. read more

The ambiance is lovely. We sat at a nice little table hidden behind a wall in the corner. It was cozy and private. We started with the saganaki, pictured, and ordered a gyro, moussaka, and falafel. The moussaka came out cold on the bottom layer. It had to be sent back to be warmed. The fresh cut Greek fries are more like fried potato chips. We weren't expecting that. Overall the food was good. Two of us would have given the overall experience a 7.5 while one of the three of us said 4. read more

Great Greek food, friendly staff, and warm atmosphere. Fire place was nice after skiing.

Hubby and I went on a Sunday night for dinner. We ordered the Greek chicken lemon soup which was outstanding and came in a crock so it was very generous portion, Greek salad with beef gyro was good but not amazing. gigandes (Lima beans) were amazing, meatballs were okay - they were too perfect to be homemade which I expected, falafel was amazing and a surprise scoop of hummus was in the middle and lemon potatoes were good but needed more lemony sauce. Server was friendly and efficient. We also got Crete white and red wine which was a decent wine to go with our food. Also there was a plate of pita and olives were great. Fireplace was literally, chairs were comfy, there are some tucked away areas also. read more

I used to travel to Greece frequently between 1965 and 1985. I had some wonderful meals in Athens and Pireaus and many other superb restaurants in other towns. I loved the warm weather and sitting under blue skies. The Aegean Breeze reminds me so much about those days and their food is a delicious reminder of the best of Greece. read more

Two weeks ago we invited 36 people for a post-wedding brunch at this place. Jennifer was not only wonderful but very patient with me. Food was amazing. That day, they opened the restaurant early just to accomodate us. When we arrived, all the tables were set up and they even printed copies of a short menu with the 5 options I chose. I highly recommend this place, you won't be disappointed. Rest assured they do know how to deal with big groups. Food and drinks came in a timely manner. Prices were reasonable. read more

The food is exquisitely prepared, the ambience cozy, the menu rich and varied, the beer, wine, and spirits selection solid. The service is attentive and on point. Great Greek food, and the owners are delightful. Don't miss it! read more

Be prepared to be teleported from a seaside exterior to the interior of an old ship. Excellent food and drinks! Exceptional service!

The restaurant decor was very rustic, felt like you were in a tavern. They still seemed to have some partitions up from COVID. These gave us more privacy but made it feel a little cramped. Due to dietary restrictions I was very limited by what I could order here. I ordered the swordfish steak. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was! It was cooked perfectly! It wasn't too tough; it had very subtle seasoning. Unfortunately I tried the Mediterranean rice first and it was barely warm so that wasn't a good first impression. My friend ordered the baby lamb chops medium rare. He wasn't happy that each lamb chop was cooked to a different level - one rare, one well done, one medium. He enjoyed the lemon potatoes more than the lamb. Total bill for our 2 entrees and a soda $68. I'd be willing to give this place another try though. I would've loved to have try some appetizers and more Greek specialties. read more

One of my favorite cuisines is Greek, and we don't have a really good Greek restaurant in our area. As it happened, my husband and I were driving through Great Barrington and planned to stop for lunch. I chose Aegean Breeze and am so glad that I did! It's a challenge to find a decent restaurant (that's not fast food) open on a Monday. It was well after the midday rush, so we were not surprised to find that we were the only patrons at 2:30 p.m.. Two other couples were leaving as we arrived on a snowy afternoon. We were met warmly by the owner, Irini. Our server, Peter, was attentive and very pleasant. The setting is what I am going to call 'Berkshire Greek' with comfortable, Colonial-style seating (separated by wooden panels, nicely done) with cushioned chairs, a fireplace roaring, and hints of Greek art on the walls. Plus a truly Greek blue barn door at the back of the dining room. The menu contains the typical Mediterranean offerings that one would expect. We decided to explore their Cold Greek Appetizer Sampler comprising Tzatziki, Taramosalata, and Stuffed Grape Leaves. The accompanying pita bread, cut into manageable pieces, was delightfully warm and tasty (we meant to ask them where they got it). I was told that everything is made in-house. Not so sure about the grape leaves (they seemed 'typical' although they were very good) but the Tzatziki and Taramosalata? Definitely homemade and excellent. My husband ordered their Traditional Gyro which was very good. The accompanying Greek salad was fresh. I chose their Char-Grilled Octopus (an appetizer) for my entrée. Let me tell you, I am a huge fan of Greek food and this was among the best I have ever eaten. Perfectly grilled, and not rubbery. The caper and lemon sauce, with a hint of sweetness, was divine. We did not have room for dessert and were concerned about our drive back to New York State in the snowstorm, so we ordered Baklava (which was a really treat later that day when we got home) to go. I also added a serving of their excellent Taramosalata to our take-out order. If you enjoy Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, then by all means this is the place to dine. I can't wait to return. read more

This is a great find in the foothills of the Berkshires. A menu of Greek and Mediterranean foods. Generous portions. Decent atmosphere. Nice friendly service.

This is one of our most favorite restaurants in all of Berkshire County. Located in Great Barrington, MA. We have had multiple different dishes, but our most favorite is the lamb Gyros. The atmosphere is wonderful and private, yet family oriented. Thank you for your consistent service and family like relationship they have with there regulars. Since our first time going s few years ago, we always come back to Aegean Breeze read more

We go up to this area and stay over every year and have eaten at other restaurants. We decided last night to Aegean Breeze having walked by it a few times. It was nothing short of amazing. I asked about the lamb stew as I want good flavor. It was delicious, over a bed of fluffy rice. My wife had the mussels in tomato sauce with garlic and ricotta cheese. She said it was the best she ever had, and that's her usual go to, when we go out. Definitely going back!! read more

Came here on the recommendation of friends. Really good. I had the salad with roasted beets with gyro. Started with the chicken lemon rice soup. It was thicker I expected (anticipated a more broth like base) though it was very good, especially after a squeeze of fresh lemon. My partner had the arugula salad and said it was good. Complimentary Greek pita and olives were very good. Only minor issue was that it was really warm inside. Next time, we'll dine outside. read more

We had a large group of family and friends who had a hankering for Mediterranean food. Aegean Breeze supplied the best. We started with the assorted appetizers and went on to the sundry main course items. I don't often eat dessert but the black and white layer cake demanded my attention. The Greek coffee hit the spot. I want to pay special attention to the staff. They were patient and provided great suggestions for those who weren't familiar with the cuisine. read more

What a great place! Nice outside seating area, drinks and food were perfect. Everybody from the bussers to the chef did an amazing job. Highly recommended!!! read more

Cute place. Good service. Food average, sorry to say , but nice experience. Ordered the island tomato salad, ( Greek salad with no lettuce). I asked for no peppers , which was fine but didn't realize till later that there were no olives on the salad, which I realized when I looked at the picture later. Used to Greek/ Mediterranean restaurants putting pita and some dip or olives on the table to start, complimentary . Also no staff wore masks, which I would have appreciated . Staff was friendly however. They said there was no outdoor dining at this time. There is a side glass enclosed porch like area , which they may use at other times, or when it is not as cold. read more

Stopped by for lunch while driving through town! Was seated right away by friendly staff. Ordered grilled octopus and falafels for appetizer. Both were good, really liked the falafel here! I had the lamb with veggies and found the lamb to be a little tough. My friend ordered the steak and said his was slightly overcooked as well since he asked for it medium. I also tried the salmon and scallops and thought they were delicious! The potatoes and rice were more acidic/ zesty than i am used to and not what I typically expected but not bad! read more
