“ Very cute Greek decor. The staff was attentive the waitress gave us misinformation and was reluctant to make good on our bill, but ultimately agreed since it was her fault. The food was OK, a little bit oily. My friends and I couldn't decide if they use too much butter or too much oil... whatever it is, they should cut back a little bit. I don't live nearby and definitely don't think I'll go out of my way to go back. ”
“ Amazing food. Pleasant quality I felt like home service. The decor was like a special spot in a sea village of Greece but in Brooklyn. We ate waaay too much good food. We would definitely come here again. ”
“ I finally had the chance to dine at Blue Door Seafood Taverna, and it absolutely lived up to my expectations! I went out for dinner with my sister-in-law, and we were both excited to try this spot that I've been hearing so much about. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a cozy dinner. The servers were fantastic--attentive and knowledgeable, they made sure we had everything we needed and offered great recommendations. We started with the octopus appetizer, and let me tell you, it was a solid 10/10! The flavor was incredible, and it was cooked to perfection. I opted for the spinach pie as my appetizer, which was surprisingly generous in size--definitely enough for leftovers! For our entrees, we each had the lamb chops, and wow, they were phenomenal! Another 10/10 dish that I can't recommend enough. And of course, we couldn't skip dessert. It was simply divine--definitely a memorable way to end the meal. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Blue Door Seafood Taverna, and I can't wait to return! If you come across this review, do yourself a favor and check them out. You won't be disappointed! ”
“ We love Blue Door! We did our kids kindergarten graduation here, have come many times with our group and we love it. The food is good - the service is always friendly. Definitely a great local Greek place!! ”
“ We've been eating from Blue Door since Feb 2017 as our first-choice Greek/Mediterranean spot in BK -- mostly take-out. Over the last year or so, the menu has changed quite a bit with the removal of online ordering and for those visiting for the first time, I see no mention of reservations on their site whatsoever which I would think can turn customers away. The most disappointing change is not being able to add protein to a salad which is unheard of. They did add a chicken dish and the fries became a little thicker which I love so, I guess it balances out. Hope things stay this way because overall, it is a go-to of ours. ”
“ I wholeheartedly believe that Blue Door Souvlakia is one of the cutest restaurants in Bay Ridge. Its white façade and bright blue door beckon you in to a charming dining room that feels just like a Greek taverna. The overhead lights and bougainvillea set the mood for a lovely meal. Though the restaurant is surprisingly upscale, the prices are still far lower than Manhattan's. Since we don't eat Greek food often, we ordered a smattering of dishes to share- Kolokithokeftedes, Calamari, and Pork Gyro Platter. The meal started with the heaviest dish, which was the Kolokithokeftedes, fried dough balls with zucchini chunks. There was a little too much dough for my liking but they were still very tasty dipped in the tzatziki. Next came the calamari, which shocked us with its size. For $14, we got a bowl of calamari the size of our Gyro Platter. The calamari was as good as it gets and the included fried zucchini slices, fried onion, and fried garlic trapped us into eating excitedly even as we could feel our stomachs filling up before we even reached the main course. By the time we dug into the platter, my stomach was 70% full, but I still enjoyed the crispy roast pork and fresh Greek salad. The platter also came with fries, pita, and a spread of your choice. As we marveled at how delicious everything was, we gave our compliments to the chef for preparing such a memorable meal. ”
