Guide Review - Elias Corner: Restaurant Review
It's tough to decide whether to start with the crisp fried calamari or the freshly grilled octopus, because both are perfectly done and sized to share. The octopus is moist and tender and the calamari are served whole with a light, crisp batter. The Greek salad is among the more authentic I've had -- with just a little lettuce, it's primarily made of cucumbers with tomatoes, feta and olives generously piled on top. The waitress will let you know what fish is on offer, and you can also see what's available in the cooler as you walk in. Choose from whatever's fresh that day, including flounder, monk fish, salmon, striped bass or red snapper. Fish are simply prepared, highlighting their freshness, and generally serve two people generously. On the side, enjoy grilled zucchini and eggplant with a vinegary dressing and crispy fried potatoes.
They don't serve dessert, but you can head down to 31st and Broadway to a number of Greek bakeries featuring delicious bakalava and pastries.
