Anassa Taverna Downtown

I come here often for lunch. This place is phenomenal. The servers are friendly and attentive, the food is delicious, and the ambiance is nice as well. It’s usually very busy during lunch time. We ordered meatballs and Greek salad to start, then she had the branzino (which was wayy too small) with lentils, I had the chicken kebab that came with salad, pita, and French fries. We then had baklava for dessert. Everything was amazing.

I had an exceptional time at Anassa Taverna. I enjoyed lunch there with a friend- we had the hummus and bread (complimentary) along with the octopus appetizer. The octopus, just like all the other reviews, was exceptional! 👌🏾Very succulent, tender and not over cooked. My friend had the lamb entree and I had the branzino along with the spinach/ rice. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasty. The lamb tasted superior to a lot of lamb I’ve had at many other Mediterranean restaurants. Again, well cooked and succulent. The branzino... *chef’s kiss* tasted perfect! The spinach and rice I was not a huge fan of but did not taste bad. I would definitely come here again and try some of the other dishes. Be prepared to be impressed!

Amazing restaurant with spacious layout, stylish ambiance, wonderful service and consistently delicious Greek food. Their burger is amazing, my omelet was perfectly made and they went out of their way to accommodate my friend's food restrictions as well as our kids presence and misbehavior. All the waiters were super lovely and nice.

Came here for lunch during restaurant week. The place is deceptively large from looking from the outside. The decor is very traditional Greek coastal vibes, which has always been a favorite aesthetic of mine. Service was a touch slow, but was also nice not to be rushed. But having had some meetings after lunch, a little more urgency would have been appreciated. That being said, I don't think I've ever had my water glass filled so many times in one meal, which was greatly appreciated. Nonetheless the staff were kind and patient with our party. Food was good and very fresh. I started with the salmon tartare, which is paired with these very tasty potato chip like crisps to eat it with. For the main meal I got the chicken which was good, but not stunning in any way. The notable points though

Came here since no one at the nearby "El Vez" ever visited our table after 10 mins of being seated. The food here was AMAZING! All the staff, including food runners and busboys, were friendly. We had the lunchtime prix fixe menu. All delicious. For drinks, I recommend the sangria. Thanks for a wonderful time.
