El Greco by Mike — Restaurant in Town/Village of East Rochester

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining last night at El Greco for the first time. I was really craving Greek food and did a random internet search for it and this restaurant came up. I had never heard of the restaurant before. The atmosphere in the restaurant is beautiful and authentically Greek! Lot’s of blue and white decor. 🇬🇷 The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered spanakopita and a couple dips for appetizers and both were amazing. Our entrees were delicious too! Our server Noah was very polite and nice and took good care of us. The restaurant staff clearly all works together because if Noah was busy, then the woman from the bar came and cleared our plates and the owner also came and checked on our meals as well. All in all it was a great dinner and I will definitely go back again and I highly recommend it to others. If I had to give any tidbits of feedback it would be the following…The music was great because I love Greek music but at times it seemed loud so maybe just be conscious of that. I did notice at one point the bartender changed the music because it was becoming more electronic and she wanted something more peaceful as did I, so I thought that was great that she noticed that. I thought the appetizers and the meals were appropriately priced for the amount of food you get, but the salads were too small for the $8.00 price. So maybe adjust the price or increase the size of salad. Also, I would love to see saganaki, and moussaka added to the menu as those are two of my favorite dishes! Please know that there is a service charge to use a credit card at this restaurant so going with cash will save you money. We did not know that but know now for future times. All in all a great experience and we...

Authentic Greek Dining Experience – A Must-Visit!

If you're looking for authentic, delicious Greek cuisine, this East Rochester gem is an absolute must! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and treated like family. The owner and chef is hands-on, ensuring every detail is perfect, and it truly shows in the food and service.

We started with a Greek wine recommendation, which paired beautifully with our meal. The octopodi was perfectly prepared—tender, smoky, and drizzled with just the right amount of olive oil, lemon and feta. The pikilia was a standout, offering a trio of varied and special spreads, each bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors.

For the main course, we indulged in succulent lamb chops cooked to perfection as well as a flavorful beef souvlaki that was juicy and well-seasoned. The sides were simple yet tasty, with fluffy pita and perfectly roasted potatoes.

To finish, the baklava was a unique version—with flaky pastry and abundance of crunchy nuts, and just the right amount of cinnamon honey sweetness. An absolute delight!

The service was impeccable, attentive without being intrusive, and the entire experience felt like a special occasion. If you love Greek food or are just looking for something different, this is THE place to go. We can’t...

Came across this on a search, saw the solid 5 stars, with 60+ reviews, and decided I had to see if the rating was justified. The answer? YES!! Best Greek food I've had in this area, and maybe anywhere (haven't been to Greece, though). Everything was fresh and delicious, obviously prepared with care and fresh ingredients. We got the village meat platter, and it was wonderful, with the most tender lambchops imaginable. The roasted potatoes are a "don't miss" item, as well as the gyro meat, which was tender and perfectly cooked. The spanakopita and kopanisti were perfect appetizers. Even the pita was just right. We shared a tiramisu - sort of deconstructed - and baklava, and both were outstanding. Our server Dimitri was excellent. We will definitely...
