on Citysearch Jul 05, 2008Being Greek and cooking Greek, my standards are high. Eleni's does the job and then some. You've got some fine traditional fare, like dolmathes and mousaka and spanakopita, but also some nifty Cretan dishes in tapas... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 15, 2008The worst dining experience of my life was Saturday April 5th in this restaurant. The first words out of the server's mouth were, "we have no soup today" and it went downhill from there. The were out of most of our first... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 30, 2008I love good food. I especially enjoy good food with a spiritual dining experience. Both are lacking here because there is a woman, Eleni, who yells at staff. She put me on edge the whole time I was at this restaurant. She... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 20, 2007Eleni's really disappoints. Salad and Vegatables were good. Something they choose to call sirloin was a cheap piece of meat that they did not know how to cook. It was tough and stringy and I could not finish it. It was so... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 22, 2007My family and I went here last Saturday night. We were the first diners of the evening. Our waiter told us the nightly specials of which he only had ONE halibut left! It was strange that they were already running out of... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 09, 2006Eleni's is a very romantic Greek hideaway for those who seek romance and a casual European dining experience. (more)

on Citysearch Jun 12, 2006I have eaten Greek food all over Greece and it is quite often hit or miss. It is clear that Eleni's buys the best ingredients. I often read reviews on this website that read like a third grader wrote them so I want to avoid... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 07, 2006A group of 8 of my closest friends made a reservation for 6:30 on a Saturday night. I had looked at the menu beforehand, and was excited by the variety of choices. We arrived a few minutes after 6:30, and had to wait almost... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 18, 2006Love it, even it is only 1/2 full on a Tuesday night it seems to be hopping. Food is excellent, we love any shrimp dishes, although the tszaki (sp?) is awesome. They offer a good wine by the glass selection, and are very... (more)
