Our group enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service at this restaurant. I give extra points to the staff, who were very attentive at the door, at the table, and at the bar as we ordered takeout for our colleagues who could not make the lunch meeting. Thank you!

My wife and I opted to only do appetizers. We had the Salmon Crudo, Patagonian Calamari, Octopodi, and Kellari Chips. The best way to describe the food is “satisfactory”. All four dishes tasted good and were cooked well but were largely unmemorable and tasted exactly as I expected. Given the good-but-average quality of the food, the price is a bit too high at north of $100 for some dishes that weren’t particularly expensive to make, like the Kellari chips ($24 for fried eggplant and zucchini appetizer). Service was very nice and attentive though.

If you are in NYC and want to experience true Greek hospitality, excellent food and attentive caring service this restaurant is an absolute must. The owner Stavros Aktipis has done an outstanding job in bringing you a touch of Greek elegance for your evening enjoyment. Gorgios Mitzelos the Manager takes a personal interest in your comfort and dining experience and makes sure the service given by servers such as Philip is genuine and caring. The mantra depicted on their business card states, "Enter as stranger, leave as friend." They accomplished this goal for us and in our view will do the same for you. We can't wait to come back to this exceptional dining experience the next time we visit NYC.
