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 were the oregano fries on the side and the fresh tomato and dill sauce served on the side are what amped it up more for me. Lastly, was the highest point of the meal was the dessert, we all had the baklava which although just a small little portion, it was just the sweet little bit we wanted to finish off the meal.

The food at this place was really amazing. Their sangria was very impressive. My only issue was that the table we were sat at outside was by a vent that was blowing a very nasty smell. There must've been a bathroom in that area. I told the waiter about it and he quickly moved us to another table. He then removed that table from that area which was the perfect thing to do. I was impressed by the quickness of removing the entire table from that area.

Food 4.0/5.0 Service 3.5/5.0 Value 3.0/5.0 Decor 4.0/5.0 Overall 4.0/5.0 The food was solid. Nice and quiet neighborhood in Tribeca, especially on the weekends. The dining room filled up surprisingly quickly. The grilled calamari was great. Would come back if in the area.

Made a reservation and was seated right away for lunch. Had a great experience. Servers came to check in from time to time to see how everything was going. There is outdoor seating and would be great on a nice beautiful day. Would love to come back and try other items on the menu! Ordered the following: Appetizers: - Anassa chips $25: Thinly sliced zucchini lightly fried served with tzatziki was so crispy! Can literally eat the whole plate of this and not feel bad haha - Greek meatballs $22: Veal, beef, pork with feta cheese and mint was good! Wish the size of the meatballs was a bit bigger. - Saganaki $18: Lightly fried Kefalograviera cheese with lemon and honey was grilled topped with sesame seeds and thinly sliced sweet orange shreds? Paired really well. First time having this type of cheese and when you eat it, it kind of squeaks, so my coworker called this the 'squeaky cheese' LOL Light Fare: - Lamb Kebab $34: Two ground lamb skewers(believe it's mixed with beef?) served with oregano fries, mixed field greens, tzatziki and pita was AMAZING! Can probably be shared if you don't want to feel so full!

There is so much to love about this place. 1. Truly just amazingly helpful and kind service. 2. Amazing food - the lamb kabobs were awesome. My friend had the lobster ravioli and he ate it up. 3. The portion sizes were on the bigger side for NYC (in a good way) 4. The place looked classy and clean, but the dark wood gave it a sense of elegance. 5. The large windows to view the outside is interesting. 6. Oh, did I mention it is right outside of a subway stop? Why did it not get 5 stars? If you are a group of 2, you are sitting in super crampt seats. I know this is NYC, but it was more space constrained than most place of a similar price point. If I was shorter, I probably would have been fine, but I don't believe in discriminating against taller people. So this place is great for: a. Shorter people b. Friend reunions c. First, Second, and Third Dates d. People who don't mind spending a little bit beyond the corner Greek cafe for fancier Greek food This place is not so great for: a. Really tall people b. Break ups (small spaces - again hard to run away) c. People who don't understand that inflation has actually not hit this place that much in the grand scheme of things.

Tina's take: 9/10 The restaurant was beautiful. The drinks were so pretty and tasted amazing too. There was a large selection and the menu and we got a few things. Our favorite was the lobster spaghetti (not sure the name). It tasted to die for. Our waitress was very good and informative about the menu as well.

Went for lunch with a friend not realizing it was restaurant week. We opted for the Prix fixe lunch for $30 but decided to pay extra $10 for the octopus appetizer. It was worth it! Octopus was very tender and well seasoned. For our entrees, we had lobster ravioli and Branzino and baklava and strawberry sorbet for dessert. Everything was tasty and well seasoned. Baklava was just the right sweetness for dessert. Service was excellent. Each course came as we were finishing the previous one. We were seated closest to the sidewalk but noise level was minimal I'd love to go back and try their other dishes!

We stopped by this place since we were staying at Conrad next door. We ordered the calamari and beers. The calamari was definitely over cooked, it tasted like it was sitting under the heat lamp for some time..but they did give us complimentary hummus and pita which were both fresh and delicious. We didn't order anything else but I would drop by here again to just grab small bites and drinks with a friend

In NYC for biz and was craving some MSB so decided to give Anassa a try. Started with the grilled octopus which was not chewy and very tasty. It had a smokiness to it from the grill which made it even better. Main course I had the Bronzino which was deboned and served full fish at your table. Excellent preparation. My buddy had the lamb chops that he absolutely devoured. Will definitely come back next time I'm down in the Wall Street area.
