Best Greek Restaurants in Edgewater

I’ve been going to Milos for years to celebrate special occasions - it’s always a treat. The food is fresh and beautifully prepared. The ambiance is classic chic New York, elegant and lively. I took my son for his birthday, and while I expected a great evening, what truly stood out was Harry, our server. He wasn’t just attentive, he was cool, funny, and incredibly smart. He went above and beyond, and truly elevated the evening. It’s expensive, if you’re looking to go all out for a special occasion, Milos is worth it - but be ready to blow some serious cash.

It is an excellent Greek restaurant all around. Very fresh fish. Amazing variety.

Dining at a restaurant is an experience with many components for me. First, there’s the decision to dine out rather than cook at home—a choice I don’t take lightly, as I consider myself a pretty good cook. Then comes selecting the right restaurant. Once I’ve made a reservation through OpenTable, I include special requests, such as seating preferences and hoping a favorite waiter will be working that night. I look forward to seeing if those details are acknowledged and fulfilled. From the moment I arrive, the experience begins: Am I greeted warmly by the receptionists, who seem genuinely happy to see me and eager to accommodate my requests? Is the maître d' cordial and welcoming? Is the waiter knowledgeable, personable, well-groomed, and engaging? A great waiter can make dining at their station a true pleasure, with a friendly demeanor and a smile that enhances the atmosphere. Then comes a key factor for me: pacing. When I order a cocktail—at Elea, a top-shelf gin cocktail costs $18 plus a $3 surcharge, plus tax and tip (over $50 for two drinks)—I want to savor it. Rushing me to order food detracts from the enjoyment of such a treat. Thankfully, Elea strikes the perfect balance, allowing guests to relax and enjoy each stage of the meal. Of course, the food itself is central. At Elea, the dishes are flavorful, portions are satisfying, and every course feels thoughtfully prepared. The bus staff are attentive without being intrusive, waiting until I’ve truly finished before clearing the table. Dessert is offered but never pushed—a subtle touch that speaks to the restaurant’s professionalism. Elea excels at making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable, leaving guests eager to return. Their team achieves their ultimate goal: creating an atmosphere so welcoming and well-executed that you look forward to coming back again and again.

Bustan is delicious! Never disappoints. So much flavor :)

My Theatre Pre-Fixe meal was varied and delicious. I had the Chef's fish selection over gnocchi. Excellent sauce and perfectly cooked fish. Our servers were attentive and prompt. The music was lovely, lighting perfectly balanced, and our table well-appointed. Well within my price expectations in NYC.
