Greek seafood spot. Elias doesn’t have a fixed menu as they grab whatever’s fresh that day. The lemon potatoes here were unreal! Soft and fluffy, generously lemoned and herbed, finished under dry heat for a roasted-potato-like finish. Mouthwatering.

Phenomenal fish restaurant. I’ve lived in Astoria for 4 years and only recently discovered this place. Hands down, the best hidden gem in Astoria!

Authentic Greek restaurant, came on a Sunday night and I could guess many of the customers were regulars who know the owner. Menu is only available on the wall so asking the server the recommendations worked out in this situation. We shared the red and white grilled snappers, grilled octopus, fried calamari, fried whitening, green salad, lemon potatoes and some white wine. Great selection of seafood, the fish was cooked just right preserving the fluffiness and juiciness. The fried dough with honey was the only dessert available which took a while to come out but I’m not complaining because I had great company!

We had a great meal at Elias Corner! The place is very nice and cozy, but also intimate if you're thinking about a cute date spot - like your neighborhood best family restaurant. We came here with our friends whom we haven't seen in a long while and were super happy with our dinner! Service was great - waitress was super patient in explaining how the ordering works (you order up front where you can see the seafood and veggie selections based on the daily menu), and what was on the menu (super impressive that she knew everything from memory). Food wise - seafood in general were all very fresh and grilled to perfection. The flavors were not super salty and are flavorful enough for you to appreciate the freshness and quality of the raw ingredients. I especially liked the grilled calamari - I am usually not a super big fan of fried calamari, so these grilled ones are awesome. The grilled octopus came next and was very flavorful and tender. For our main seafood, we ordered whole fish with bone - one black sea bass and one brazino - personally I liked the branzino more because it has more fat in the meat, so was softer in texture. I forgot to take a picture of the Tzatziki sauce but it was really good too! Goes really well with the bread on the house. I also really liked the Loukoumades (basically fried dough balls with syrup and cinnamon powder) that we had for dessert. Drinkwise - we ordered a pint (half a bottle) of chardonnay, and it went really well with the seafood. Strongly recommend if you don't have any dietary restrictions. The owner of the restaurant was super nice and patient in explaining the drink selections for us. Definitely looking to come back for another meal soon!

Beautiful decor, very fresh very authentic Greek food. There is no menu which we loved it. We just discussed with the server what we wanted to have for dinner. Everything was delicious and the servers made us feel like family. They also have offstreet parking which is rare in Astoria. Cash only

This restaurant got a very strong article about how it sourced fish in the NY Times. The fish we ordered (party of 6) was clearly fresh. The server (one person for 3 rooms, including the outdoor terrace) was overwhelmed. Later, the bartender came to help her clear tables. The server asked if we wanted salt on our fish. We said no, but it was noticeably salted anyway. The sides were badly under-seasoned and very bland. The bread was badly charred and oil and a very watery vinegar were provided after we requested it. The Greek salad only had oil on it. Couldn't taste the lemon in the Greek lemon potatoes. In an area known for its Greek seafood restaurants, this one doesn't really measure up. The 4-star rating is for the freshness of the fish only.

Food is decent, lovely outdoor space, the problem is our waitress of the night seemed nervous and our food took a longggg time to come, we pretty much finished one dish and waited an average of 30mins before another dish came. Portion was also on the smaller side. They also forgot to bring us complimentary bread we had to ask for it.

First off, the food is great. But don’t expect any service. Food is consistent here, just don’t expect good service and you’ll be fine.
