Beautiful restaurant. The staff was very professional. Had some fantastic dishes including the pistichios rhodos which I haven't seen before. Presentation and taste were superb. Paired the apps and mains with some excellent Greek wine.

Would highly recommend a pre dinner cocktail at their very well supplied bar followed by either their main floor dining or their upstairs seating. The main floor is a more energetic environment offering sit down or limited high tops as opposed to their more quiet upstairs.

Great restaurant and a great experience. The ambience was very nice and the food was delicious. I have tried several different dishes so far and found the "Bifteki" burger to be the best one out of them.

We had Only planned to go for a couple of glasses of sparkling wine, but in that short period we were treated with a smile and had a great conversation. We landed up having the taramasalata and octopus which was excellent! Looking forward to having a full meal here. Highly recommended. PS. Birthday cake was great.

Axia serves well-prepared, fresh seafood. Waitstaff is knowledgeable and attentive. There are similar restaurants where I can get a whole branzino, but Axia's fish is on a par with theirs and the price is much lower.

IYKYK - this is one of the best restaurants outside NYC (and the fact that it's Greek makes it even better). The cocktails, wine list and starters are reasons to sit at the bar but the magic coming out of the kitchen on their fish, lamb and traditional Greek dishes bring us back often. Thank you Tim, Steve and Gamza for the amazing hospitality!!!

The best Greek food outside of Greece. So good! Seriously, not enough words to express the love for the service, the fresh flavorful dishes and the overall hospitality.
Not only one of my favorite Greek restaurants, but one of my all-time favorite restaurants. The food is superb, and the service is excellent. Can't say enough about the quality of the food here.
Axia never fails to impress. Some great new items on the menu, especially quail, which is delicious, tender, flavorful. Grilled sea scallops are back. Our favorite dessert is sour cherry frozen yogurt. Tim and Dimitri are the perfect hosts. Alex works magic in the kitchen. Just a great place.

Once again a great meal here. The appetizers were flaming halulomi cheese which is the best anywhere , zucchini chips perfectly fried and the hummus all excellent tasting. The greek wine by the glass is very satisfying. The food arrived perfect pace and the dining room was packed. Instead of fish we had the lamb shank special which was perfect. No room for dessert this time. This restaurant is a classic- always excellent.

We have been going to Axia for NYE since 2018. We loved that there was no overpriced "special" menu for the night. What we did not know is that the menu changes at 8pm and you must order off an overpriced menu with limited options at 8pm. There was no notification of the menu and price change on their website or on OpenTable. We had booked a table on the second floor which we prefer because there is no bench seating and the tables are more spacious. When we arrived at 8pm we were seated downstairs in the bench seating area and we were told that we could not order off the regular menu. We debating leaving because we did not like the menu options or the pricing but we felt trapped because it was NYE and we were worried that we would not find another reservation. We decided to try to make the best of a bad situation. We ordered our food and then they seated a table of 4 who decided that they all wanted to sit on the bench part of the seat despite it being intended only for 2 people. It was incredibly tight and uncomfortable. The waiter accommodated the wierd seating despite these people practically sitting in my lap. At this point we decided to get the rest of our dinner to go so we just leave. I have never been so angry about a bad experience at a restaurant. $400 later we left with our dinner in to go containers. At no point did anyone care about our miserable experience or the fact that we were upset. Never again! They have lost long time loyal customers.

A great place to have dinner with great friends. I think we ate every appetizer that was available, plus a few repeats. And then ran into some old colleagues who had the same idea!
