Best Authentic Restaurants in East Elmhurst

Very nice in a trendy sort of way but happy atmosphere, attentive service and really good food selection

Sandro’s Our first visit to Sandro’s was so very good. The warmth and attentiveness of the staff was exceptional. From the host and hostess, to the waiter, to the busboys, everyone is on top of their game. Our excellent waiter made spot on wine, appetizer and entree recommendations. The lemon pasta was very yummy. The halibut special was delicious, perfectly cooked in a tasty, light sauce. The thinly sliced ribeye over broccoli rabe was simple, plain and thoroughly enjoyed. The atmospheric warmth and “neighborhood gem” vibe was palpable. (Sadly, it’s not in our neighborhood.) The birthday cookies and grappa were lovely, complimentary additions to an already great meal. Sandro’s is worth the 30 block uber ride, even on a frigid January evening…. We will happily return.

There were eight of us meeting, some of whom were coming after their book group ended. The meeting lasted longer than expected, so some folks were quite late in arriving. The restaurant was patient and we had drinks and an appetizer while waiting. Once everyone arrived, dinner was superb and the ambience and ability to converse in the back room are quite wonderful. The service, as always, was great. Alsace is our favorite restaurant. Thanks!

Lovely high tea service. Environment beautiful and noise level at a minimum, allowing for good conversation. Selection of tea sandwiches, pastry and scones was lovely. Teas chosen were warm and delicious!

Neighborhood gem! Classic generous Greek dishes. Our server was extremely attentive and pleasant. If you’re looking for an authentic Greek experience then try Mythos!
