Aegean Breeze Restaurant

Made a reservation through Unilocal,which was confirmed (auto text) even 45 mins prior to reservation time. Showed up snd place was closed! note: there was no unusual weather event, etc.
Had to go to a plan B on a busy Saturday night. Very disappointing.

I was there last week for vacation with my husband and had an amazing dinner. The owners were so friendly and the staff were so welcoming. They treated us like family, The manager was helpful in helping us with what to order and helping us with direction. Greats place to go with your family we plan on going back!

Good, but not the quality of Greek food we’re accustomed to (our fave Greek restaurant is in Providence, RI).
The ambience of Aegean Breeze is very nice. We received a small platter of grilled pita and kalamata olives (love these). The let down came with our appetizers: we did the 3/​$ 10 sampler (and chose hummus, eggplant, and stuffed grape leaves). All were meh and hubby and I agreed that this hummus was quite different from ones we’ve had — in a not-​so-​good way. Mussels in a wine and garlic sauce were a huge disappointment. They were more fishy than any we’ve had and mostly white instead of pink (and please know, mussels are hubby’s fave appetizer). Hubby ordered the grilled lamb chops with potatoes and the chops rescued the meal. They were very good. I had only one because I was full from the appetizers and treats at SoCo only a couple of hours ago.

Very solid and authentic Greek restaurant in the country. The is food really good and the staff was equally as friendly. I look forward to returning.

Very inviting interior with a knowledgable, well trained staff that will treat you to a fantastic meal from their extensive menu. Indoor or Outdoor seating is available. We have eaten in a number of other Greek restaurants, and this one was truly top notch. Menu consists of a variety of many Greek specialties plus a lot of fish entrées and char-​broiled options. The grilled scallops were divine! Spanakopita was authentically prepared and delicious. Wide variety of healthy choices on the children’s menu. Service was attentive and timely. We enjoyed After-​Dinner-​Drinks and Desserts after a fabulous meal. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

«The grilled octopus was divine,» is how I would start a review of this restaurant. I ordered the red snapper with mixed vegetables because I didn’t think I had room for an appetizer and an entrée. The fish was so wonderful that it got me wondering how was the octopus. I ordered it thinking that I could get a to-​go box for any leftovers. I ordered an appetizer instead of a dessert but when they brought the dish and I started eating. .. I could not put down my fork and stop eating until it was gone from my plate. Excellent meal, enjoyable service and a delightful setting.

A great dining experience as a solo business traveler once again. This restaurant really has the greek goods! The grilled octopus was delicious along with my sides that were all prepared perfectly. This means tasty rice, a vegetable mix steamed with a hint of lemon olive oil and fig. I love it here. Jen at the lounge was a great staff person and I look forward to eating here the next time on business or with my wife when on vacation!

BF and I decided to try this place out as a family member of his said the food was really good. We’re always looking for new places to try in Great Barrington and thought, why not.
I was really in the mood for souvlaki, but alas it was not on the menu the night we dined. We ordered the octopus for an appetizer. For entrees I had a lamb shish kabob, he had stuffed peppers. Neither one of us was impressed with the entrée. The octopus was good but kind of bland. The lamb was very tough and lacked seasoning.
Pretty expensive for what it is. Food does not live up to the hype.

A regular dinner stop for me with the family or for business. Always friendly staff, great food, good prices and nice atmosphere. The Calamari is perfect, fantastic Lamb Kabob and Lamb Stew. The rice and also the lemon potatoes are always perfectly cooked and very tasty. Getting hungry writing the review.

A real find in Great Barrington. Excellent Greek food, contemporary Med design, friendly service. Family style salad, Branzino and lamb chops all first rate… plus best deal kid’s menu NY Strip Steak you’ll find anywhere.

we ordered 3 lamb gyros to go. they came w greek salads or fries. we opted for the salads. Kinda small but tasty. we were kind of in a rush so she had our order done in less than 10 minutes. the gyros were just ok. & they weren’t cheap. $ 12. each. I would give this place another chance probably for a sit down dinner because the other reviews are so good.

We had the chicken souvlaki (best we ever had), the gyro omelet (best we ever had), amd the melitsana (best we ever had), the hummus (best we ever had), the baklava (best we ever had) and the galaktaboureko (best we ever had). Chef George has taken a cuisine that is usually considered straightforward and somewhat pedestrian and has elevated it to art.

The food is absolutely amazing! Living in NYC with plenty of great greek restaurants in Queens and Manhattan, this place can hold its own. The vegetables are fresh and definitively local picked. Great local place with great food. I always bring the family here each time we come to the Berkshires. The owners even have come to recognize us and have seen our five year old son grow through the years.

Greek food has always been our favorite when we want to eat simple Mediterranean. Our visit here added to the reasons for eating healthy. The speciality was fish. All kinds prepared any way you want it. In addition the menu includes their own special spin on traditional Greek recipes. The appetizer menu — divided into hot and cold — was a meal in itself. Try and get a table on the front porch in good weather. Aegean breeze is a breath of fresh air in the Berkshires restaurant collection. A must try.

It’s pretty good food, feels like the menu should be a bit more diverse given the fact that it’s Greek cuisine. Haven’t necessarily had a bad meal here but have never been blown away. The bar area is really nice with the wine bottles and everything. I would probably be more inclined to stop here regularly for cocktails but not for full meals. Given the cost of eating here, I’d rather spend $ 60 – 70 elsewhere in town where I know it will be better.

Very good grilled octopus. An obvious passion was at work building a high quality fresh seafood restaurant here.

Aegean Breeze is a decent, albeit overpriced, option for Greek food in Great Barrington in Berkshire County. And while I enjoyed everything I ordered, I probably won’t be back because of the aforementioned prices and subpar service.
From the moment I arrived, I felt rushed. I had barely sat down when my waitress was asking for my drink order. I hadn’t even glimpsed a drink menu yet! It couldn’t have been more than a minute after my drink order was placed that my waitress came back asking for the rest of my order. Being pressured and hurried is one of my few very big restaurant pet peeves.
Needless to say, i was pretty flustered by the time I ordered. But things perked up a bit when I tried the warm pita bread that was brought to the table. It was doughy and delicious, and they brought more without me even asking!
Things got even better when my appetizer came. I decided to just try their falafel and hummus, since I hadn’t had a whole lot of time to look over the menu and that was what jumped out at me. It ended up being a fantastic choice, thankfully. I’ve tried falafel at a variety of restaurants and locations, and I can safely say Aegean’s is tops. So flavorful, perfectly seasoned… so good. It didn’t even need the homemade hummus… which was spectacular as well, might I add.
It was difficult to choose an entrée, because everything on the menu sounded delicious. I ended up having the moussaka, which is a layered dish kind of like lasagna. Said layers are made up of eggplant, potato, and seasoned ground beef, and topped with a creamy sauce. It all came together perfectly and was very tasty.
To summarize:
Food = great
Service = not so great
Prices = not so great either
But, I could possibly overlook those latter two and come back to try more of the menu if I’m ever in the area… preferably after I’ve won the lottery.

Over priced, unfriendly staff, food just OK. Do yourself a favor and skip this place

Sunday brunch at Aegean Breeze came like an unexpected breeze blowing us over from Café Adam next door where there was ‘no room at the inn’. Disappointed at first, we skulked in, sat outdoors on the terrace, and expected nothing special. Happily, the Greek gods were with us that day and I was served a deliciously spicy bloody and the hearty and satisfying eggos bene diktos. Bottom line: I would definitely go back for brunch, and encourage you to, as well.

This place is pretty meh. Maybe I ordered the wrong food, but I just wasn’t impressed. We had a reservation for our big group of 10 and were seated in the upstairs dining room which doubled as the restaurants computer office. It was nice to be in our own room for a group that big, but it didn’t seem like the waitress was all that pleased about helping us, and she gave off a very rushed vibe.
Most of the food looked pretty good, I sampled the Aegean Scallops which were fantastic (when you have a dish named after the restaurant it better be!). I split a few things with the girlfriend: baked stuffed shrimp, mussels, and spanikopita. Only the spanikopita impressed me, but mostly because it was big on the filling and not so much on the filo, which was good (I hate getting a dish that’s just overpowered by the dough). Other than that everything was just alright.
I think everyone enjoyed their meal and our time there, but there are plenty of other restaurants I want to try and would frequent before I came back to Aegean Breeze.
