Greek and American Easter were the same day this year. We had the perfect celebration thanks to Aegean Estiatorio. The staff are always kind and welcoming. We had the lamb, gyro platter, salmon, souvlaki, scallops and magritsa soup. Everything was delicious. Just like yia yia used to make. The decor is light, airy and comfortable. read more

This was my favorite dinner in recent memory in this area. I absolutely loved it here - the food, the service, the ambience. It was perfect. As soon as you walk in, it's bright and welcoming. There are families, couples, and groups of people enjoying a delicious meal. It's BYOB. The food is incredible. And it's truly a neighborhood hidden gem. Can't wait to be back! read more

This was our first time dining here and I expect we will be back. The meal and service was excellent. Outdoor patio was nice. Before I describe the details of the meal I will explain why it is four stars instead of five. One reason and one reason only. Charging $32 a pound for the fish that you were going to have for your entree is greedy and unnecessary. Our Branzino cost $60. if it was $40 I would consider that expensive and more than almost anywhere else you'd get it but $60 is pure Insanity on their part. Yeah there are some Mediterranean restaurants that do that but most don't it's just pure greed. With that said I must say the food was delicious. We loved the grilled calamari and the saganaki. The Greek salad was very good not as good as some that we've had elsewhere but still quite good are fish entrees were delicious and the baklava was excellent read more

Food, ambiance, and service was delicious! Appetite opening and savory food portions with lovely music, seating space that is both aesthetically pleasing and peaceful evoking feelings of being in Greece! read more

This Greek Restaurant is amazing. I had the Aegean Salad with Grilled Chicken. It was one of the best salads I've ever had with pinenuts, avacado, corn & mozzarella. My husband had the Chicken Souvlaki and the tzatziki was delicious!! Evan, the owner is so nice and takes great pride in his food. Such a wonderful restaurant!!! Looking forward to outdoor dining soon here!! read more

Seriously under-the-radar amazing seafood spot with outdoor dining! The service was fantastic, as was the food. I had the scallops and my friend had the branzino, and both were incredible. Will definitely be back read more

I love Aegean Estiatorio (Restaurant). It provides absolutely authentic and utterly delicious and fresh Greek cuisine. The setting is lovely, with a light, airy feeling, comfortable seats, and colorful paintings of scenes from Greece. The food is amazing. I am a vegetarian, so I had a combination plate of Hummus, Tzatziki, roasted eggplant and garlic dip, and also an order of grape leaves stuffed with rice. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. While these dishes are fairly standard fare at Greek restaurants, the quality and freshness far exceeded any Greek food I've had elsewhere. Ever. Dessert was baklava, and was filled with nuts and honey. How can I explain it? The food was real. It was made with love. And the server was friendly and charming, and just wonderful. I told her about my desire to visit Greece, and she talked about places to go. She is extremely friendly and kind. Her husband is the gifted chef who made the wonderful meal for us. Everything was fresh and delicious. The prices were reasonable. I plan to go back whenever I'm in the area. read more

I met some friends for dinner. The waitress was excellent! Very friendly and funny. The lemon chicken soup was off the charts delicious. I was pretty disappointed with the Greek salad, however. For $20, the size is pretty small, and they don't give you any kind of Greek dressing. Just oil and vinegar. Kind of sad actually. I would probably go back and try something different. read more

Amazing food and service combined. The restaurant is beautiful and Teresa was awesome and so kind! She brought dessert for my parents for their anniversary read more

Always great food from here. The grilled calamari is definitely a go to. Gyros are very good here! Every time we've picked up from here, the staff has always been nice & very inviting. read more

Would definitely go back. Food was very good and more authentic than most Greek or Mediterranean restaurants. We went for lunch and had sandwiches, which were very good and large. Tina tartar appetizer was great! Service was good. Restaurant is cute inside. The walk up counter is a bit strange to have in a sit down restaurant. Would definitely come back. read more

5 stars for the service. 4.5 for the food. The owner chef is engaging and no doubt loves to cook and please the patrons. I didn't take a pic of the "fries," but they were good too!! Go Evan. Found this place by mistake. Good mistake. Dessert. Oh yea. read more

On a friends recommendation, I decided to check out Aegean. Service was on point - attentive, warm and friendly and the food was delicious. We had a greek salad, gyro platter and halibut --- dont miss the side of tourlou! read more

Aegean brought me and my husband so much joy. We had wanted to try this place for a while and finally did. The food was incredible authentic and the service was wonderful. We ordered the grilled calamari and spanakopita to start and both were delicious. The calamari was perfectly tender and not rubbery which is when we knew everything else would be great. The spanakopita brought us back to the spanakopita we had in Ioannina. The phyllo was thick (which is the best) and the spinach feta filling was flavorful without the feta being overpowering. I ordered the bakaliarakia for my entree with a side salad and my husband ordered the bifteki with briam and we shared a big side of Horta. The Balaliarakia was outstanding and came piping hot to the table. It was perfectly fried and the fish itself was incredibly fresh. There is nothing more that I love than a small Greek fish and this one hit all the expectations and more. The side salad was great as well. The Horta was in abundance and seasoned with dill and lemon. My husband said his bifteki was nostalgic and reminded him of one's his dad cooked when he was younger. The tzatziki that came with it was thick, creamy and filled with dill and cucumber. The briam was also incredible coming in an olive oil, dill and other spices mixture that I recommend dipping pita into. My husband never eats potatoes and he ate almost all of his briam (I say almost all because I had to try some). I could not leave this restaurant without trying their portokalopita (orange pie). This is my all time favorite Greek dessert and finding it in the US proves impossible. The piece we received was massive and bursting with flavors of orange, cinnamon and vanilla. The texture was perfect and it being served cold brought it to next level. Their portokalopita ranked in the top 3 orange pies I have ever had. Aegean was amazing and I cannot recommend it enough. If you love traditional Greek food then this is the place to go. The food felt like it was made with so much love and age old Greek family recipes. We will be coming back I am sure numerous times and you should too. Pro tip: make sure you make a reservation on advance they were packed and had to turn away those customers that didn't have reservations. read more

Went for lunch. The service was nice and the ambiance was good. The food was good. I ordered the lunch special hanger steak and it was good. The portion was a tad small but I guess you just have to keep in mind it's one skewer of meat. The gyro seems more packed with meat, which is the other plate my friend ordered. They also serve pita when you sit down and it was nice and fresh. I felt the food took a little long but then again we were a larger party so maybe that's why. read more

This is a gem of a place ! We've ordered take out before but today decided to dine in and what a treat! The food was perfection, the appetizers entrees and dessert scrumptious! the service efficient and polite, nice ambiance and owner friendly and attentive !! Five stars aren't enough!! I give this place a ten! read more

Food was very authentic Greek. Every dish we ordered was delicious - the chicken souvlaki, gyro platter, saganaki, grilled scallops as well as our appetizers. Service was excellent and very accommodating. Place is small and cozy. Some may think it's pricey, but it is worth it. read more

Amazing Greek food! Everything was fresh and delicious. Owners were super nice and friendly! I'll be back soon!

Food was spectacular! Grilled octopus was perfection... tender and prepared with hummus, carmelized onions and crispy capers..... Moussaka light and delicious... we will be back soon and often ! Service was perfect as well! read more

Generally the food was better the last time we were here a few months ago. Specifically, the best dish was the fried zucchini. The spanakopita pie, while it tasted good, was too crispy and thinner than last time. Falafel had nothing special about it and you can buy a tastier hummus in Shop Rite. My gyro sandwich was surprisingly sparse of meat, tomatoes and onions. When the waitress asks you, in the middle of this pretty but almost empty room, "do you have a reservation?," you have to scratch your head. Very unnecessary. read more

So, this is how my visit went when I got here the ambiance was very modern and nice they have very good service too. But not to mention the menu is really fancy. Ok Now for the food the food tastes amazing like the mixed grill taste great like the steak and the chicken taste great it's so juicy and has such a great taste and texture I really recommend this place oh and so is the calamari. read more

I have a friend that lives down the street so told her to pick a restaurant next to her and must say best choice for Greek food - the service was great and its byob nice cool spot especially for summer but the only problem I have since I'm disabled was the parking there is not enough spaces for handicap and the restaurants next to them take 1/2 the spots but that is not something to worry about as the food is so worth it - I like fried calamari but decided to try the grilled calamari and it was to dye for and the lemon fries amazing even if you sit in the inside of the restaurant there is a spot that is connected to the restaurant that is great for outside and the way they have it decorated so cute and comfy - must try when you want something different! - its not only a sandwich place read more

Absolutely amazing! Went here the night before my brother's wedding and it did not disappoint. Authentic Greek cuisine and the owner was absolutely lovely fabulous! Don't miss it. Branzino, etc. delicious!! read more

Racist establishment. Never experienced anything like this. I came in with my mother and 2 year old because we were a tad bit early for a birthday party I had booked down the street. We came in, cold and asked if they had coffee. The place had one table of patrons eating. They told us no that they could not accommodate us. Even when I said we would only buy the coffee and stay less than 10 mins. They were rude and cold and I have never experienced anything like this in my life. Shame on this business. read more

Authentic Greek with fabulous service. It was a new restaurant taking over an older space (or so I was told by a local), so the decor was new, as was operations. I'm sure that considering how conscientious the staff were, it will work out. My Gyro plate with lemon potatoes and Greek salad included a generous slice of proper feta and a big dollop of Tzatziki sauce. Ths strips of gyro could have been better seared, but that is a style rather than a necessity as the gyro was delicious. The chicken souvlaki was well seared. The fries were interesting in a very good way. There were small round discs, crispy on the outside and nice and fluffy on the insides. Well seasoned and flavored! The highlight of the lunch, though, were the desserts. Even though we were stuffed, we thought that we could share the Ekmet Kataifi. A dessert that we had only just discovered a couple of nights prior, and which must have been the best thing I've discovered in decades of being a foodie. So, we ordered one for four of us to share. The server turned up with a plate containing the ordered dessert, but also comped us the other dessert they had. The server who was Greek, told us that if we had just discovered her second favorite dessert, we had to try her favorite - Portokalopita. The Ekmet Kataifi was heavenly, and the Portokalopita was even better!! read more

Best Greek Food in NJ!!!! And I should know. I am GREEK!!!! Born and raised! Bravo kai to the chef!!!! It's all so finger licking good. Their meats are so fresh. The fried Haloumi and the grilled Octopus were to die for!! Couldn't complain about a thing. Service was amazing. So if you're really hungry, this is the place to be!! This my friends will be our new favorite go to spot!!!! read more

Aegean Estiatorio - Spinach Pie 9.30.2022 - Seafood Near Me - Park Ridge, New Jersey

Ambiance is ok. Food is over priced. Service is lousy. I was never asked if I wanted something to drink, wasn't even given a glass for the water in the carafe on the table. I guess I was expected to share a glass with my friends? When I asked for a container to take home my food, only part of it was packed up, not including the big scoop of tzadiki that was on my plate. For $26 this was disappointing. I won't return even though we eat out several times a week. read more

My husband took our children and I to this spot for dinner. He highly recommended it after having lunch here with a colleague one day. My ratings are from 1-10. 1 being the lowest, 10 the highest. Service and staff: 10- We didn't experience the same unfriendly staff as some folks wrote here. The servers and staff were extremely accommodating and polite. They answered our questions, cleared our table when were done and replenished our water. They checked on us periodically to make sure we were good. Very nice people. Food: 10- We enjoyed everything we ordered. My husband had the lamb and it was delicious. We ordered chicken souvlaki, grilled shrimp and a gyro. We didn't leave a crumb on the table, lol. Their Greek fries are also very tasty. Ambiance and cleanliness: 10- tables were sanitized after every guest. Bathrooms were clean. And I saw them constantly sweeping the floors. The room and decor were very nice and they even had an outdoor patio. Overall, this place is a must! I highly recommend this restaurant even if you're not a huge fan of Greek food. This place will change your mind. Good luck! Eat and live well! read more

On a Friday night out, my friend and I met up at this little spot, a local Greek Mediterranean restaurant for dinner. The restaurant was jammed packed, full house, every seat was taken. Although, the ambiance and decor aren't quite intimate, my friend and I had a nice table near the corner and it was a very comfortable spot. For starters we had the smoky eggplant dip and grape leaves. Both were great. I ordered the fish of the day which was a grilled dorado. It was fantastic! I had the Baklava for dessert which is also delicious. The restaurant is BYOB. My friend brought a nice bottle of red wine to share and we really enjoyed the meal and our conversation. We ended being the last table to leave. So, yeah! Time flies when you are having fun! read more
