My new Greek restaurant is in Whitestone! The food was authentic and delicious. The ambiance fantastic. Great place to hang out and have some drinks and wine with great food. The staff was fantastic especially the owner Laki. We had a blast with our best friends this evening.

To Steki is probably my top comfort dining spot in the area. I've dined here a few times by myself, always after some long biking, and I always underestimate their portions for one person--even when I'm supposed to eat more to refuel. Somehow, I always seem to get an endless supply of pita bread. So much that have the smell, taste, and texture of their bread etched in my senses. You'd think that getting a small salad and an appetizer would be enough but the tendency to munch on the pita bread and lather it up with their hummus will probably get you so full, you'll be left wondering if you'll ever eat again for the rest of the day. The food is always fresh and you'll always be in a treat for big portions, so just remember--an appetizer can be a meal itself. The staff are always incredibly kind and warm. In fact, during my last visit, one of the bartenders noticed me locking up my bike next to his and made sure I was taken care of after we connected over biking.

We went to To Steki today for Mother's Day. We had a party of 7 and had a great experience. All the food was fresh and well cooked. Presentation was awesome and food was delicious. Seafood was fresh and very well prepared as well as all the other entrees. Complimentary hot pita bread and hummus was served. Prices were very reasonable in my opinion for what is a very high end dining experience. The wait staff were top notch and it felt like we were in a dinner banquet. They took great detail to ensure we had a clean table and even reset utensils on to a clean napkin when they noticed it was not while we waited for the next course. The attention to detail by the wait staff was astounding! We recommend To Steki if you want great Greek food and most excellent service!

To Steki roughly translates to "hangout". If you look on their website the full name is To Steki Tou Laki which changes it to "Laki's Place" either way I am a fan of the comfortable causal white, black and wood of this place. Once you settle in warmed pita and a dip comes. The first time I was here it was a great taramasalata and the next it was hummus (disappointingly I didn't see tarama on the menu). For me, eating Greek means eating family style even if you are family of two. Nearly every time it consists of a horiatiki salad - they make a quintessential version here nicely dressed with slab of delish feta. The grilled calamari is tender with a nice char flavor - I may like this better than their octopus here. I enjoyed the gigantes (giant beans in tomato sauce). Many times we make a meal of "apps" for a nice variety, but sometimes order some delicious grilled meats. The lamb chops are tender and delicious and the lemon potatoes were done right. Horta, the slightly bitter dandelion greens with olive oil and lemon are made the way they should be. I've observed couples ordering the mix grill for 2 that come out as a super generous platter which looks like it can feed 4 or more - it makes me wonder if they are on a date and how are they going to have sexy time after? haha. A solid place that is on my short list when I am looking to get my Greek on.

I thought I had to try this place because it always seemed busy when we passed by it. It's a cute local restaurant and seems like an authentic family business. Overall I thought the food was good not sure if I would go back though, it was a little pricey. It came with a free side of hummus and pita for the table and it was good! You can ask for more hummus if u finish and if you want more pita it's an extra $3. We ordered the grilled octopus and fried calamari, I really liked the octopus, it was simple olive oil and lemon with capers and pickled onions, nice and refreshing. I thought it was worth it for its price since there was a lot in one order. On the other hand, I thought the calamari was just standard nothing special and not as worth it in my opinion. We got the special, jumbo shrimp risotto. I thought it was really good, well made, creamy, tomatoey, very flavorful, and the shrimp were good. I'm not sure if it was worth it's price though. Most definitely overpriced, felt a bit scammed.
