Aegean Breeze Restaurant

We really enjoyed our meal here. The ingredients were fresh and the food was authentic. We had the baked feta as an appetizer and shared the island tomato salad and the Shepard's plate (mixed grill).The lamb on the mixed grill was amazing but the chicken and steak were a bit overcooked for our taste. The lemon potatoes that came with the mixed grill were lovely. The Retsina white wine was very nice. The service was good and the atmosphere was quaint Greek cottage.

We decided on eating near our hotel since we had not been to Great Barrington before. Aegean Breeze caught my eye because I was in the mood for Mediterranean food and the reviews seemed to be pretty positive about this place. We were greeted right away and sat down in a back room with only two other people. Eventually the room and the restaurant became very busy and we were glad we sat down when we did. We both started with the Avgolemono soup. It had a good taste, but there was not basically no rice in it. The portion size is good. For the main courses, I had the Chicken Souvlaki pita wrap. I was very disappointed with the lack of flavor. Normally the chicken is bursting with flavor from being marinated in Greek spices, but this was very tasteless. Luckily the tzatziki sauce helped pro

We had very delicious grilled octopus here! The Greek salad and lamb kebab were tasty as well (lamb a little tough). The food felt simple but well-seasoned and authentic. The host and waitress were attentive. We loved the quaint house vibe of the restaurant. They had a big outdoor patio as well but it's got a little too cold now. However, there were very nice flowers on the outside of the building.

Update: 10stars - We come a little more often these days and they are so consistently fantastic - we also eavesdrop on other people saying “wow what a great lunch” etc - so we know we are right! This is a definite stop - eat - drink - enjoy, so much love for this place, these people and the delicious food they share w us! Love this place, we come up for a “Berkshires day” once in a while, to eat here and hit thrift shops - the apps and spreads are fantastic, I love th spanakopita and moussaka so much it’s hard to try other things and the lemon potatoes are 💯 so the avgolemono must be amazing too (lots of things I want to try, a really good sign)

Meal was delicious!! Esp the saganaki cheese which was lit on fire!! Recommend!! Also the greek Chardonnay! Friendly staff also!
