Anemi Modern Greek restaurant, located at 30-17 31st St. in Astoria, offers a blend of traditional and modern Greek flavors.
The restaurant, which means "breeze" in Greek, aims to provide a calm and inviting atmosphere, serving dishes such as lobster pasta and grilled branzino.
"We came up with Anemi, which means 'breeze,'" said George Kalosis, the restaurant's owner. "A breeze moves you away; when it's a hot day in the summer, and you feel a breeze, you think, 'oh, that's so nice, I was ready for that breeze,' and we thought it worked really well here."
Anemi is located inside the Voco Hotel, which opened in August, and the restaurant made its debut a month later.
