The Scene
Elias Corner traded some of that '70s outer-borough Greek-kitchen charm for a bigger dining room when it moved across 31st Street to its present digs--an interior decorator's turquoise nightmare. But the room is probably three times larger than the old one, so the wait, prohibitive on weekends in the past, is considerably shorter.
The Food
The line still forms at the door, in full view of a refrigerated deli counter that serves as the evening's menu: What's in the fridge is what's for dinner. Noteworthy choices on a recent visit included red snapper, as well as the faintly sweet St. Peter's Fish--another name for tilapia--imported from Israel. Steaks, lamb chops and chicken kabobs are also served, but it's unquestionably the grilled fish that gets top billing.

Like many of the better Greek restaurants in Astoria, Elias Corner has excellent whole grilled fish. I don't even think they have menus because what they're serving is the day's catch. Fresh and delicious!

This place loks like a blue monster on the outside, you almost don't want to go in, but force yourself. it was a pleasant surprise, like Shulie on newnewyorker com told me its not about the appearances, its all about the food and that it was, very fresh fish and large portions and low prices. BRING CASH no credit cards, the service was slow and also they only had Greek coffee, thats it!

Seafood is super fresh, and every time there's something new. If you don't know which fish to get, sea bass is always a good choice. The appetizers are top notch too, give them a try (the scallops, octopus, soft shell crabs, and sausages are almost heavenly). Well worth the trip to astoria!
