Welcome to Blue Sea Taverna, our beloved neighborhood gem in Astoria! We've been serving incredible Greek cuisine for years, blending the rustic charm of the area with the elegance of the Greek Islands. As one of the city's first Greek restaurants, we take pride in our amazing seafood, from Branzino to our Mixed Grilled Shrimp and Calamari, along with a delicious steak, salmon and lamb.

Tucked into the corner of the street, our cozy yet sophisticated space feels like home. Our drinks are to die for, and our dedicated staff - along with our always present owner Chris - ensures every guest has the best experience. We also host private events and offer special holiday menus.

We can't wait to welcome you!

    We came in for Mother’s Day and were greeted by our server who seemed like she didn’t want to be there. We had a four year old in our party and she did nothing to try to make the experience kid friendly. The food was average at best. We got two appetizers which were served with pita. We ran out quickly; (why don’t Greek restaurants ever give enough pita)I tried to get the servers attention.. She made eye contact with me twice but I was unable to get the opportunity to ask as she didn’t return to the table until the main courses were coming out. Two in the party ordered lemon chicken. One was okay and the other was very dry. The plates lacked anything green leaving a poor presentation. Our son got chicken tenders, which were definitely the frozen variety. I had a kebab which was fine. The place was extremely loud. I would not recommend or return especially for the price point.

    The food was okay to say the least. Nothing to brag about similar to a take out menu in a fast food restaurant. Totally not a place I would go eat again. Service was poor and it seemed like we were more of an inconvenience than a customer. Sad.

    It was ok - not great or memorable. The menu didn’t match up and the place was desolate

    Location is good for a casual lunch or dinner . Stopped by after an airport pick up for dinner and to have a Greek experience. Only one waitress and waited a while for service although there was only one additional diner . No frills restaurant only serves beer and wine . Pork Gyros didn’t have that gyro flavor tasted like grilled pork slices . I ordered the lamb and beef Greek Souzoukaklia which was delicious. My husband had the grilled chicken which was good . Platters were large and can be shared . Overall nice, but I missed my cocktails and Saturday night vibe. Street parking so you have to circle until finding a spot.

    I’ve dined here before and it was great. However, this time, they are accepting reservations BUT ARE CLOSED. Came here on one of the coldest days yet this year and the doors were locked. I understand the Covid situation but they shouldn’t be accepting and confirming reservations if they aren’t even open for business.
