I used to like this place. Today went with family of four. Among other starters ordered the mixed appetizer plater. Absolutely astounded by the absurdly small portions. Typically would just let it go and not return, but in this case was so obscenely small I need to share with everyone. If you can’t serve an honest dish it’s time to pack it up and go home. Unacceptable. Will never go again and definitely need to tell everyone in the neighborhood to avoid at all cost. Rip off plain and simple.
I should have taken a photo and show the whole world. Shameful.

Great Greek restaurant, it took us back to our time in Santorini. We ordered several small plates to share and everything was good. The desert tasting option is awesome, try it if you can you won't regret it.
Terrible food. I read about the Chef before dining there w friends who live locally and thought the meal, particularly the seafood, would be spectacular. He should be ashamed to have his name associated with the poorly prepared dishes served. The crab cake-described as Gigantic but Tiny- was dry and tasteless, fish overcooked, mediocre veg dishes and the only things can recommend were the salad and chops. Perhaps things like Moussaka are better? Great atmosphere but that's not edible!
It's a nice Greek restaurant located on the UES. We ordered lamb with rice, pasta with shrimps, and calamari (see pictures). Although I like the lamb, the portions were kinda small. Also, my friend rated her pasta 2 out of 10.
Overall, the ambiance is good, but the food quality was not as good as we expected.

Delicious Greek food. We usually order delivery, but today we dine in. The service was very friendly and professional. Definitely, this is a place to go for Greek food.
Food was delicious. Nice greek wine selection. Server could be softer/more friendly. Cute back patio area (enclosed.) Baklava was delicious, other desserts okay.
Came here for dinner. We had the horiatiki salad which is a staple. Made so fresh and tasty. Then the Lavraki ceviche which is made with Branzino. So light and flavorful. And finally the Mousaka.
Layered Potatoes, Eggplant and Ground Beef Topped with Bechamel Sauce. Our waitress said this is one of her favorites so we tried it and it did not disappoint. So much so I forgot to take an initial photo! Overall, I would recommend this place!

My husband and I both had a wonderful brunch experience at Yefsi Estiatorio. It is among the best Greek restaurants I’ve been to so far in NYC (including the ones in Astoria). The food is authentic and does not disappoint at all. I tried the Shrimp Santorini while my husband had the Chicken Sandwich (not just any chicken sandwich though! This was Greek style grilled chicken with tzatziki on a pita and Greek style fries with oregano). The mimosas were great and the service was outstanding! The bottomless brunch was a great experience and one day I hope to come here for dinner. Overall, 5 stars and highly recommended!
