Ithaki Estiatorio

As soon as you walk in, you’re immediately greeted with not only a stunning ambiance and aesthetic of the entire space, but also an incredible staff. This was our first time coming but it will definitely not be the last! Our server Emilio did a great job guiding us through the menu and the wine recommendation was AMAZING! My spouse and I were interested in their very extensive Greek wine list, specifically what wines were from Crete and Emilio instantly introduced us to their Somali Jeffery. Jeffery was a extremely knowledgeable and really hit it the spot of with the type of Cretean white wines we were curious about and the bottles are all extremely reasonable for some of the best wine we’ve had in a long time! Each course that came out, we could’ve definitely licked the plate… I know I

A great new addition to our well-established Greektown. This restaurant delivers an elevated dining experience with flavorful, beautifully presented dishes. The cocktail menu is creatively crafted, and the wine list is curated by a Level 3 sommelier. Our server was incredibly friendly and took the time to make sure our dinner went smoothly without a single hiccup. The wood-oven octopus was the best I’ve had in the city, and the wagyu souvlaki (a special) was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor.

The owner opened this spot in Greektown after so many of the OGs Greek places have closed and he did not disappoint. There are so many employees here so the service was attentive and pleasant. The atmosphere was energetic yet I didn’t struggle to talk to my table. The food was better than expected with a few that stood out. Saganaki, mussels, octopus, and lamb chops. There’s a great selection of wine with a sommelier onsite. They have complimentary valet. We’ll definitely be back!

The atmosphere was amazing and food was delicious. Our favorite was the smoked lamb ribs- super tender and flavorful. We also enjoyed the youvertsi, wood oven octopus, village salad, all the different spreads and of course desserts! You also must order a fish- I believe we had the lavraki but I don't think you can go wrong with any fish because they're all shipped in daily so it tastes very fresh.

I was so excited when I read that Greektown had a new Greek seafood restaurant. I was a loyal patron of Santorini, and it broke my heart when it closed during the pandemic. Well, Ithaki Estiatorio did not disappoint! I love that the restaurant offers complimentary parking. But what's really impressive is the open dining concept. The interior is light and airy (very much a California seaside vibe). The breeze travels through the large floor to ceiling windows while a smooth jazzy saxophonist romances the atmosphere. The bar is in the center of the dining space and it's enchanting! The manager/sommelier, Jeremy, made sure our drinks were flowing and our waitress, Stephanie, was lovely and so attentive, truly outstanding. The food was cooked perfectly. We had the grilled octopus, Mussel
