From the very start, the restaurant personnel showed us the best care and quality service. Multiple servers, quick turnaround from drinks to appetizers to mains to dessert. They took care of our party of six with great professionalism. Patient and diligent. As for the food, everything we ordered, and we had a good variety, was first class and a great representation of the traditional and modern Greek cuisine. No matter what each of was looking for, was satisfied, including special dietary requests. The dishes like lamb shank, freshly grilled fish, seared scallops, and lamb chops were cooked to perfection and flavors. Portions were plentiful and matched up well with sides. The grand finale were the deserts! Bougatsa and Baklava Cheesecake were a hit. And the birthday girl got an extra portion, sparkles, and a BD song! (Greek coffee of course!). First time at this restaurant was just perfect! On the way out all the staff, including the owner thanked us a lot and invited back soon. Definitely coming back ( the menu is huge) read more

We celebrated a friend's anniversary at Theo's this past Saturday and had such a great experience. The service was attentive without being over the top, the food was delicious, and the wine was perfect. What really stood out was how welcoming everything felt--the kind of warm, genuine Greek hospitality that makes you feel right at home. Big thank you to Theo, Grace, and the whole team for making it such a special night. We'll definitely be back! read more

We came to Theo's for a light bite and a drink and had a really nice experience. The Santorini wine was delicious with a great mineral finish. We started with the Theo's chips, which were super tasty, and also enjoyed the bread with hummus to start. The bartender was extremely attentive and helpful with suggestions, which made the experience even better. I absolutely loved the flavor of the chicken souvlaki -- it was really well seasoned and cooked nicely. My only small complaint was that for the price, I wish the rice had a bit more flavor or that it came with a better side. After seeing the person next to us order the Greek salad with added chicken, I kind of wished I had tried that too -- it looked great! We'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. read more

Theos Estiatorio is a beautiful restaurant however their food is overrated. I lived in Tarpon Springs, a Greek community with excellent food. I've had Greek food from five star restaurants to mom and pops. I was not impressed with this place. Greeks in the area had said that this restaurant was excellent in social media . The octopus was supposed to be amazing. It was mundane at best. It was already chopped up in little pieces in a tiny bowl and no charbroil flavor to it. It did not taste half as good as other grilled octopus that I've had at other restaurants. The complementary bread, four dry slices came with a tablespoon of hummus, a drizzle of oil of oil and three olives. The hummus was not even that good. I've made better. The pita bread was better, but that's only if you order a spread. One friend ordered wine, the other ordered delicious limoncello martini. I ordered a beer. The beer was excellent. That was probably the best thing that I had all night. One friend ordered the shrimp appetizer, which was good, the other ordered a potato spread with almonds. The spread was good, but I've had much better. The tzatziki was not good. There were no pieces of cucumber in it. It did not taste fresh. It did not taste like traditional tzatziki at all. I had the Chilean Seabass as my main course. It was good, but again nothing to write home about. I've made better with Seabass from Kosher fish. Both of my friends had the lamb shank. I tried it and did not really think it was all that. Again, overall, I was not impressed with the food. I was only impressed with the decor. The walnut cake. My friend had was dry and too much spice in it. I made this cake. It's not dry. It's moist from the syrup you pour over it. The other Friend had a chocolate lava cake. I asked the waiter what desserts are made in the house. he said the first two and then he said everything is homemade. Everything is not homemade . That was a bold face lie. I was not impressed with our waiter, Sebastian. He made several rude comments that I did not appreciate as a patron. Needless to say I don't think I will be going back. Greek Islands Taverna has much better food and service. read more

Theos Estiatorio - Greek Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Very delicious food with exquisite decor and friendly staff. Definitely make a reservation because it was fully packed from 6 to 9 pm with line almost out the door. There's indoor seating and bar seating with some tables outside as well. We started with some appetizers. There's a lot of cold and hot options, raw and cooked. Our selection of 4 spreads was amazing - Melitzanosalata (similar to babaganoush, Taramosalata (my favorite with the carp roe), Skordalia (light and slightly sweet), Ktipiti (very thick and creamy). We ran out of pita quickly and had to order more. The grilled octopus was very tender and had a nice tangy onion topping. The spanikopita was flakey on the outside and creamy on the inside. The kefte was juicy and fluffy, not dense or overcooked. For entrees, we shared the lobster pasta which had nice chunks of lobster meat but overall was a bit in the salty side. I was a little sad that my plate didn't come with the head and tail decor I've seen on other reviews. The lamb shank was fall off the bone and had very rich flavors. The char grilled red snapper was a little overcooked and the seasoning was a little bland. Server also forgot to bring the side of rice. The lamb chops were delicious, cooked perfectly and paired well with the side of lemon potatoes. Will be back to try more dishes! read more

This place is right around the corner where I live and I have kept putting off going because of this fact; believing I will go "next week" only to fill in my dinning-out experience somewhere else. Well, after finally going this past weekend I regret that I have neglected it up to this time. It is easily a top 5 dinning experience in Florida for me and hands down the best Mediterranean restaurant I have eaten at in the States. I mean everything was outstanding, from the bread and appetizers, to the main course. I don't think of Mediterranean for deserts but they have the best coconut cake I have ever ever tasted. Thank you Susanna for the outstanding service. Can't wait to get back and I plan to be a regular. To the management team: I believe you should lose the cowbell birthday celebrations, which come across frightening loud, annoying and unfitting for the vibe of this great fine dinning establishment. read more

I had a great dining experience at Theos Estiatorio! Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Fort Lauderdale now. The interior is nicely decorated, limited seating inside and outside, the service terrific (Sebastian was our waiter) and the food delicious! I ordered the Creamy Lemoncello Martini, Skordalia and Lamb Shank with a side of tzakiki and walnut cake for dessert accompanied with Greek coffee. A hint for parking, parking is available on the side street and in the plaza one block away. The bathroom is nicely decorated as well and non gender. read more

Wow! Theos translates to God. We had a goddess in our party tonight. Yelper Mary Ann C told Yelper Dara B and me that this restaurant was on her bucket list. We went along for the ride. Super chic and classy. The stand out appetizer for me was the Shrimp Saganaki. Another Yelper got it and said it would be their go to meal every time they came back. I would agree. I'd get it every time, too. The Chilean Sea Bass is light and fresh. The Lamb Shank is heavy and full of flavor. I'm a baklava snob and opted out for the Valrhona Lava Cake. It's a I'll stab you with my fork if you try and take a bite kind of treat. My glass of wine was a white wine from Greece. Dara let me have a sip of her Lemoncello Martini and I quickly switched from wine so I could have my own martini. This is a place to see and be seen. It's expensive, but well worth crossing it off a bucket list. read more

Theo's Estiatorio on Sunrise Boulevard is one of the best Greek restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. After recently returning from a trip to the Greek Islands, Mykonos and Santorini...we were craving authentic Greek food, and this restaurant truly delivered. We started with handcrafted cocktails, including the Santorini Sunset cocktail and a cheese-stuffed olive vodka martini, both excellent. For appetizers, we had the zucchini flowers stuffed with three cheeses, lightly battered and perfectly fried. We also ordered the Melitzanosalata (Greek eggplant spread) and Santorini fava, both incredibly authentic and flavorful, served with warm pita bread. For dinner, the whole branzino with olive oil, lemon, and capers was fresh and perfectly cooked. The lamb shank over orzo was tender, rich, and full of traditional Greek flavor. Dessert included coconut cake with coconut ice cream and classic Greek baklava, both outstanding. From the food to the service and atmosphere, Theo's Estiatorio offers a true taste of Greece in Fort Lauderdale. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Greek cuisine, fresh seafood, and a great dining experience. read more

Literally everyone there will check to be sure all is fine 4 star food: the food itself is great.

Absolutely phenomenal dinner at Theos last night. We took my in laws for their anniversary and although we'd frequented Theos and enjoyed it, they were over the moon excited to try for the first time. From the moment we walked in, Mario greeted us and service was exceptional. The star of the show is the food here and you CANNOT go wrong at Theos. Every item is fresh, well seasoned and cooked to perfection. My favorite spread is the Skordalia, the pitas are served warm and fresh and I must also give an honorable mention to my Key Lime Pie Martini. It's the best I've EVER had! I also love the Santorini salad which i rarely ever find at restaurants here and if I do, they skimp on the feta and serve you a bowl of watermelon. The portions are quite generous might I add and there is no skimping on anything here. Overall, Theos is and continues to be our favorite for greek food. My in-laws could not stop raving about their night out at Theos and were impressed with every inch of love and detail poured into this business by Theo and Grace. Looking forward to many more visits and continued success for years to come. read more

Guys!!!! Believe me when I say, Theos is top tier!! I really love a great restaurant with a good ambiance! It's so warm & cozy! It's small & intimate, & the staff is so personable! From the moment u walk through the front door, ur greeted by a lovely lady, who already took the time to read my Open Table notes & did everything to accommodate hubby & me! She found us the perfect table for two, away from a large group & we ended up being the only ones on our side of the restaurant! Next, our server was Suzana! She's from Serbia & now I'm thinking I need to visit that country, because if everyone is as sweet as her, it's got to be a wonderful place! She was so attentive & regularly checked on us to see if we needed anything. The food!!!! OMG!!! Can u say delish??? Everything was seasoned to perfection! For appetizers we had the Greek salad & the spanakopita! Chef's kiss! We both had the lamb chops, which came with 4 chops, lemon potatoes, & tzatziki! I never needed to add any salt to anything!! Kudos to the chef for properly seasoning food!! Oh wait! Did I mention the complimentary bread?? It came with olive oil, hummus, & kalamata olives! My husband ordered the walnut cake for dessert & they came out with it lit, with a sparkle candle, singing happy birthday to him! It was the perfect end to our evening! I will have to go back to try their branzino & baklava! I was so full, I had to take half my food home! I'm laying in bed right now in a total food coma!! Thank u, Theos, for a lovely evening! read more

Absolutely amazing ! The place is super cute, the staff is really friendly and the food is absolutely delicious! We had the octopus and humus as a starter and shared the whole Bronzino with the side of lemon potatoes and Brussels sprouts, and it was absolutely delightful. Would hardly recommend. My only complaint is that it is a small space so with everyone in there it is very noisy. But overall would go there again. read more

Terrific Aegean resto w kind, accommodating service and wide-ranging menu. We visited for dinner after late matinée at Gateway next door. Despite bustle within, hostess seated us within minutes of arrival. As there was a walker, we were kindly seated near the entrance and attentive hostess brought walker to us as we left out seats. We enjoyed two specials: zucchini blossoms and smelts, fried like calamari for squid-squeamish. And a lovely salad of endive, feta and candied walnuts. The pear cocktail I enjoyed was well balanced, not too sweet, its stiffness sneaking up slowly. Beautiful experience made extra memorable by the generous sweets they packed us off with. A keeper for sure! read more

Second time's the charm at this foodie paradise! Apologies, my phone doesn't eat first here Came in for date night and were welcomed by Theo and his stunning wife Grace, who redefine what it means to host. The restaurant? Gorgeous! The staff? Amazing and knowledgeable of all items on the menu. We started off with a spread of tzatziki, melitzanosalata, skordalia, and ktipiti. All four were off the charts, but the skordalia stole my heart (if you're a garlic fanatic, it's a must!). We also ordered the lamb riblets--crispy, seasoned perfection that will definitely be my go-to order from now on. For the main, we had the branzino--hands down the best I've tasted in Fort Lauderdale! It was perfectly complemented by the lemon potatoes, a dish I can never seem to get enough of. We're definitely making this our regular spot. It's not just a meal, but a dining experience that serves up some unique flavors. read more

We had such a great time at Theo's Estiatorio. Our server, Patrick, was honestly wonderful. We were a big group of eight with kids, and he made us feel completely welcome from the start. His food recommendations were perfect, everything he suggested was delicious. My son was especially excited about his meal and wouldn't stop talking about it. Patrick noticed and actually went to tell the chef. A little while later, the chef came out to meet him, which absolutely made his night. The food was amazing, but the service truly put the experience over the top. We'll definitely be back. And if you go, make sure you ask for Patrick! read more

We came to Theos Estiatorio for an Easter family dinner. Had relatives from Montreal, Chicago, and Florida come together for a nice Greek meal. The food was absolute perfection, and the staff could not be kinder and more attentive. It is a beautiful restaurant with its own parking lot for convenience. The fried zucchini is a must. All the spreads were delicious, and we had such a wide variety of main dishes. Fish, lamb chops, and pasta are all fantastic.

Dinner at Theo's Estiatorio was a truly delightful experience from start to finish. The Greek cuisine was vibrant, beautifully prepared, and full of flavour, and the service was attentive, warm, and effortlessly gracious. The swordfish was fresh and expertly cooked, while the lamb chops were tender, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. The Greek oven‑baked potatoes were a standout as well -- perfectly roasted with just the right amount of lemon, bright and comforting without being overpowering. Dessert was nothing short of outstanding. The loukoumades, bougatsa, and milopita, served with homemade vanilla ice cream, were absolutely irresistible -- light, comforting, and indulgent in the best possible way. A perfect finale. Thank you to the team at Theo's Estiatorio especially our waiter Atef for an exceptional evening of great food and hospitality. We'll be back again soon. read more

Food is good, ambiance is very nice but unfortunately we can never go back. Four of us went on a Saturday night and it was so loud, it was torture. Unable to have a conversation without yelling.

We were going to the theater in Ft Lauderdale and read about Theos Estatorio and decided to try it. Surprised how large it is with an outside patio seating. Really a beautiful restaurant that was a travel agency forever. On the pricey side but worth it. They start with mezze, olives, hummus and delicious bread. I tried 2 of my favorites which were appetizers. Grilled Octopodi, chargrilled Spanish Octopus , red onion, red & yellow peppers, with a red wine vinaigrette, excellent. Also the Grilled Calamari, just simply charcoal grilled, very good. My tried the Avgolemono, traditional Greek chicken soup, very good and the Crabcake, 95% jumbo lump crabmeat with a Piazza bean salad. She thought it was one of the best crabcakes and she is a crabcake aficionado. read more

Having been to Greece several times and the fabled Milos in NYC I am no stranger to Greek Cuisine. With no soft surfaces and a terrazzo floor the noise is enormous. We had a number of appetizers. A Greek salad with tasteless tomatoes. A large spoon size portion of grilled Octopus that was not grilled but blanched, tasteless and rubbery($26.00). An off tasting crab cake more of filler than crab that one guest left half eaten. The lamb riblets were tasty. A couple of the things and we were done. This is not a place I will return to. read more

We often dine at Theos and recently celebrated a special family occasion there. The service as always is top-notch and excellent, and this visit was no exception. Our waiter, Orlando, was outstanding as always. He was attentive, professional, and friendly -- making sure every detail was just right. He helped make our celebration and truly special, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time together as a family. The consistent exceptional service is why we keep coming back.

Small restaurant reservations are a must. at Ages of diners were 40s-60s and older. Outdoor seating is nice, there is a wood trellis with white lights and flowers for privacy from the street.

Food was delicious. Servers were attentive. read more

It's rare that we leave the 305 for a meal but we were looking for a last minute dinner option before catching a film up in Broward. This place popped up on my Google search on the same block as the theatre, and bonus was that they had available spots outdoors for dinner on a Friday night. While my heart gravitates to Asian food of every flavor, I do hold a special place for Greek food, and Theos does it right, while still leaving room for creativity and a modern flair. While not every dish was a standout rock star. we enjoyed the majority of our meal, and our server was just sweetest with attentive customer service on point. Not being too familiar with Greek wines, our server didn't hesitate to bring us some tastes of a few different types to help us make a decision. Highlights: - Roka Salad - Arugula, goat cheese medallions - what's not to like? - Yellow tail tuna tartare - This was an unexpected find on a Greek menu, but the finger lime and eggplant puree brought a unique twist. Loved this! - Shrimp saganaki - If this is on a menu, I'm ordering it every time. Delicious! - Lamb chops - My man got this and said they were great. I don't eat land meat but I did try the potatoes and they were lemony magic in my mouth - Bougatsa - The perfect sweet treat to round out the meal Lowlights: Brussel sprouts. There were waaaaaaaaaaaaaay over done, and tasted like they had been prepped hours before and left to sit under a heat lamp. Just chewy, stale, and burnt, instead of buttery and crisp. Overall this was a solid A+ meal. My only regret is not coming with a big group as it would have been great to try an assortment of different meze and spreads because everything sounded delicious on the menu! read more

Really nice meal. They had a nice well appointed inside dining room and a nice outdoor patio area facing Sunrise. I had made a reservation using Open Table and we got there a bit early, but got seated before the actual reservation time. Thank you !!! The staff was all very nice, very professional and warm. A few of us had a glass of the Canvasback Cabernet and it was a nice delicious, smooth wine...these usually retail for about $40 at wine stores, the glass was $16. All of the entrees were nicely made....Greek Spaghetti Bolognese (nice meat flavoring much better than other ones we've had before), Lamb shank over orzo (fall off the bone meat...tender and delicious), Lamb chops and Greek salad. A very nice dining experience. Very good food. This place will do well. Free parking on the back of the building. read more

I am obsessed with authentic Greek food. When I lived in NY- Astoria was the place to go. Since I've been living in Fort Lauderdale, there was one Greek restaurant that stood out among the others- Well- no more- this restaurant is superb!!! From the beginning- we ordered Greek salad & Gigantes- sorry no pics! We ordered Whole Fish Dorado & Branzino-OMG- mouthwatering, melts in your mouth, deliciousness! The piece de resistance- the best freaking Greek coffee we've had since we left NY. The best! Will be back to try the lamb & dessert!!! I forgot to mention our server- John- he was very attentive & we appreciated that. The restaurant is very modern we were seated near the bar. It was busy & people were still coming in at 10pm. Thank you so much! If I can spell it correctly- Sacapo!!! read more
