“Delicious & great service! We loved Esca but this was also v delicious & v healthy. Room is pretty. The bar is not as cozy & stylish as it was in its former iteration but overall we will be back & wish them great success! Great space & option including while in the theatre district, Sony Hall, etc;))“
“This was our first visit and it sure didnt dissapoint. Everything was outstanding service, food and atmosphere. I had the whole fish and my wife had the lamb and both dishes were done to perfection. We will definetly visit again and bring friends over to this hidden gem!“
“I usually don’t goto places like this because I’m from Brooklyn and I dress like a bum. The service was amazing, they didn’t judge my dirty Brooklyn cyclones hat and were very attentive. Second, the food was amazing and loved every bits of it.The appetizers we tried were the tuna tartare, chicken gyro bao buns and saganaki fondue. All were amazing! My main course was the salmon and I can’t describe how good it was because my vocabulary is limited. But anyway, once again the service was amazing. I would recommend this place even to gnarly out of borough people like me!“
“The food at Elea is always outstanding, the service this time...not so much. AND, as the people sitting next to us were leaving, the man said "do not order the cheesecake." I didn't ask why he said that but....he clearly didn't like it. Unfortunately, our server was not the best but I guess that's to be expected on a holiday.“
“One of the best dining experiences I've had. Excellent food and service. The chef owner was warm and welcoming. I especially liked the chicken soup on a cold rainy day. And the yogurt was the best. I hope to return soon. Would highly recommend.“
“By now of course this place is a NYC Institution like Da Umberto, Raouls and Il Mulino. They run a good program, and the service is always attentive. The drinks come quickly, and notably the mezze are the star, along with the fresh fish. The whole bronzino is excellent. You can also almost aways get a table short notice, so that's nice too. Go with a smile on your face, and you are liable to leave with a bigger one.“
“I’ve been to Kyma a few times already and I always have a great time . First time I went on a Saturday night with a few friends and we had the time of our lives. The manager, Steve, was really nice and he made sure that we were having a good time. Yiannis, our server, had some great recommendation for food and drinks, but most importantly he was so pleasant and polite. We will def go back again.“
“We would like to thank the Avra Team for the wonderful experience we had celebrating our son's 1 year old birthday and his grandparents 40th wedding anniversary. Beautiful place for special celebration! Sophisticated ambience, attentive staff, exceptional service, delicious Greek food! We highly recommend making reservation in advance!“
“The view from this restaurant is absolutely amazing, offering a breathtaking panorama of Manhattan. They have a big market place to showcase their fresh daily seafood, including a variety of fishes, oysters,scallops, scampi, and Carabineros. The atmosphere is great, and the setting is perfect for socializing. If you don't mind the price, it's also a great place for a date. Scallop sashimi, zucchini stack, carabineros was delicious.“
“My husband and I enjoyed brunch at Paros last month and we were interested to see if dinner would be as good -- and our dinner Saturday night exceeded our expectations. We focused on smaller plates: tuna crudo, hamachi crudo, grilled calamari, zucchini fritters and spanakopita, followed by the orange cake with Greek yogurt gelato. Everything was delicious (my favorite was the grilled calamari). Excellent service, even though the restaurant and bar were quite busy.“
“Amazing food, the spinach pie, greek expresso martini, and the vegetarian moussaka was beyond anything I’d imagine. The hostess Milena was beyond amazing, and the bartender Fausto was very attentive. I will make sure the Citi team is aware about this place.Definitely will be back!“
“On a chilly Sunday afternoon Smiley and I dined outside at Village Taverna, heat lamps hung above each table, so we were nice and toasty, the food is outstanding, so is the staff, the atmosphere pleasing, we dined early just before the crowd to get these photos. My wife Smiley rates the Village Taverna 5 Smiles.“
“Really excellent Greek place. This is the second time I’ve visited and I’ve been impressed on both occasions by the lovely food. The tuna-salmon carpaccio is gorgeous and so good I regretted having to share it. The ink risotto and the sea bass with gnocchi are both wonderful—the gnocchi is so crispy! And for dessert we had the orange cake, which is packed with citrus flavor. Atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.“
“Fresh and delicious! I came here based on the Yelp reviews and it did not disappoint. If you're looking for a quick, no-hassle but relatively healthy meal in the city (and you'd like to sit down while eating it) this place is great!“
“9 Jones Restaurant had a very mysterious and high-class mystique with a 10/10 atmosphere. The food was find overall a little bland for our taste, but the item that stole the show was the grilled octopus. The service was good but very slow. Our reservation started around 6PM and we didn’t get out main courses til 8:15PM. Did have a surprised burlesque show which was so fun!!“
“We had a great time celebrating a birthday at GRECA. The in-house bakery made their amazingly delicious orange olive oil cake into a birthday cake for my daughter. Amazing wand gluten-free! All the dishes were fresh and tasty. The Spreads appetizer had interesting spreads that were devoured. The lamb chops and chicken souvlaki were perfectly cooked. And the orange oil cake was perfection. The staff were absolutely lovely and very friendly.“
“It’s casual but polished casual.$5.25/ Freddo Cappuccino. It was very good. This was the item I was most impressed with at Pi Bakerie, over and above the pastries and baked dishes. If I come back to Pi Bakerie it will be specifically for the Freddo Cappuccino. I could envision myself deliberately making a detour via SoHo for this Freddo Cappuccino. Which is pretty cool that means they have a “destination item” on their menu.I’d be curious to compare with Café Lyria who also make reportedly excellent Greek Freddo Cappuccino (this is like the Italian Schakerato).Also curious to try their Peinirli (“cheese boat”). Looked delicious.“
“A truly memorable meal...with the exception of one server who was clearly having a bad day, Milos was extraordinary. Every food item from the lowly (but melt in your mouth) grilled Italian bread with family olive oil to a flavor-packed branzino baked in sea salt and the most amazing baklava on the planet, this evening was special. Let's just say the meal held up well with a gorgeous sunset view over the Hudson River.“
“We had the pleasure of dining at Eleni's Saturday night and it was a wonderful evening. The hostess Sren started the evening on a high note because of her warmth and friendliness. Unfortunately, my reservation had been lost when I did it on Google, but she could not have been more accommodating. She gave us a table that we could spend two hours at without being rushed. The grilled calamari, octopus, and appetizer of dips were all exceptional, as was the waitress we had. Both the waitress and Sren made a point of coming over during the meal to ensure that we were pleased with everything. The ambiance is lovely and is very inviting. I can't wait to return to this restaurant that truly values and appreciates it customers and makes you feel like an honored guest. Thank you to Sren and our waitress for a fabulous night out.“
“We recently had the pleasure of hiring Kellari Taverna for a catering event hosted by Philoptochos, serving the Hellenic College Holy Cross 2024 Seminarians, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. The team at Kellari Taverna crafted a perfect Lenten menu that left our guests raving about the flavors and quality of the dishes.From the tender calamari to the assortment of delectable dips, succulent shrimp, perfectly cooked fish, refreshing salad, savory potatoes, and indulgent desserts, every item on the menu was executed flawlessly. The attention to detail in each dish truly showcased the culinary expertise of the Kellari Taverna team.Moreover, the staff that attended the event were incredibly attentive, ensuring that every guest had everything they needed, from food to drinks. Their professionalism and hospitality added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening, making our event run seamlessly.Overall, we cannot recommend Kellari Taverna highly enough for their exceptional catering services. If you're looking for delicious food, impeccable service, and a memorable dining experience, look no further than Kellari Taverna. We look forward to working with them again in the future.“
“This honestly was some great food. I’m not gonna lie I be iffy about New Jersey food being from NYC but tbh this was bussin. If you know you know. I’m definitely coming back with my friends, because this is where it’s at! Loved itttt.“
“We would like to thank the Avra Team for the wonderful experience we had celebrating our son's 1 year old birthday and his grandparents 40th wedding anniversary. Beautiful place for special celebration! Sophisticated ambience, attentive staff, exceptional service, delicious Greek food! We highly recommend making reservation in advance!“
“We were here for restaurant week and decided to order from that menu. The food was excellent. Service was impeccable. Everyone was very attentive. Very much appreciated our server's recommendations for wine. I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place in midtown.“
“I like this place. They have authentic Greek pastries, warm hospitality. Nice place to sit and meet someone. Though lately the music is bumping like it's a club and it's not the relaxing vibe I'm looking for on a weekday afternoon and it keeps me from lingering any longer, it just makes me anxious whereas I think it used to be more chill here. Not what I want from a coffee shop and I couldn't get past it even with headphones on. Sundays they have live music, it feels like a family party vibe with champagne going. Try the cookies in the kiosk across, so good.“
“Happy hour is a great deal $5 drinks for I think wine, beer, mojitos, margaritas, and espresso martinis. Mojito was meh, but the margarita was pretty good! We got the Medusa mixed platter which feeds 3-4 people and it was delicious. There’s also a bunch of apps on the happy hour menu as well. The beef stick and the lamb chop was delectable. Metered Street parking was readily available“
“Nestled on 5th Avenue in Park Slope, this authentic Greek restaurant truly delivered. The menu was ample and had such a wide variety of delicious dishes to choose from. We were seated in their outdoor back terrace/garden. It was really nice! The Greek music in the background was pleasant and a really nice touch. Food was excellent.“
“We had just flown in and needed something before heading to a Colbert taping. We had no expectations, but absolutely loved the food. Only thing we didn't love was the sausage and only because it was seasoned in a way that wasn't for us. All of the other meats, sides and sauces were seasoned perfectly, tender, and delicious.“
“For a fast early Sunday dinner, I joined a friend at Souvlaki GR Midtown. At 5pm on a Sunday, the establishment only had a few occupied tables, so we received seating immediately. We decided to share the Lamb Shank ($30), Octopadi Stifado ($29), and 2x Chicken Skewers ($5.75 ea). Both the skewers and the Octopadi Stifado came served with pita. The lamb shank, described in the menu as "slow cooked lamb shank with orzo in tomato sauce", arrived just shy of fall-off-the-bone tender, bathed in a savory tomato sauce that soaked into the orzo. I used the pita to full effect in order to soak up every last drop of sauce. The Octopadi Stifado, an octopus stew w/caramelized onions in tomato sauce, had an even more savory tomato sauce, mixed with olive oil that carried the octopus flavor everywhere. Once again, the pita proved useful. The chicken skewers, with decent juice and char, proved irresistible. The pita arrived warm and fluffy. None of that dense brick nonsense that seems ubiquitous. Service proved fast. Dinner from seating to the check took 45 minutes.“
“What an excellent meal! The service was outstanding and the vibe is excellent.If you are hungry for home style Greek food, this is seriously the spot for you.Greek salad, zucchini chips, and tzatziki...no brainer to start. Add a mixed grill...and you are golden. The lamb chops are unbelievable! Throw in a couple Fix beers to wash down the delicious fries.Overall, super authentic and great service = wow!“
“This is one of my favorite places to eat in the whole city. I come here sometimes with my baby and everyone is very nice to us and they’re very accommodating with space for my stroller even though the location is somewhat small. The food is delicious, you cannot miss the spreads. They are AMAZING. The vegetarian bowl and chicken souvlaki are also delicious. If you order coconut water they serve it fresh from a coconut. The staff is super helpful and very kind. I’ve never had a bad experience here, and I love visiting.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and are very accommodating to children.“
“Immerse yourself in the finest traditional Greek cuisine... enveloped in a warm, familial ambiance that instantly makes you feel at home. I wholeheartedly endorse the chef's unparalleled raisin vinaigrette sauce, alongside the extraordinary sambuca shot, “windex”—a must-try experience.“
“Loved the atmosphere, bright, clean euro modern, staff was very happy to help and adjust entree as needed. We ordered their lunch special which had several choices of main dish, appetizer, an dessert. Two glasses of wine each, given the quality and the experience, i am giving this 5 stars. So nice to finally find a place thats in mid town and is clean with excellent and authentic Greek food! Highly recommend and will be back!Dietary restrictions: Very happy to adjust entree as needed.“
“The gyro here is amazing the best I've had in NYC. It's my 3rd time having gyros at this establishment. I'm always very pleased. I have some dietary restrictions and they are so polite and accommodated to my needs.... make sure you ask for some lemon oil on the side.... Thank you guys ! I must try some other dishes on there menu!“
“This is a great little Cafe. I walked in, place was clean, decor was awesome, staff were smiling and friendly. I got the vegan gyro bowl, and it was really good. It was packed with gyro and rice, i actually got lunch and dinner out of it. Sometimes plant based food in general has a weird taste, however, Pita Bowl's was great. This is my new spot for vegetarian eats.“
“Food: variety of fresh food falafel and hummus & salad combo. I was thinking that they serve chicken shawarma but they don’t most of their menu is only consist of falafel. Their falafel trio is great.Service: they need to pay more attention to customers with respect to their commitment.Atmosphere: they have plenty of seating outside and inside and the atmosphere is great.“
“Lokal was delicious! We came because we had a gift card but now we will definitely be back. Service was amazing, staff was friendly, family / friendly but up beat vibes. Music was fun too. Great spot on upper west, near the museum of national history.“
“My go to place, food is always amazing. Very generous portions as well.place is always clean, the workers & owner are very attentive and friendly. So happy to have this place in the area where the food options are super basic around here.“
“very nice food. Real Greek. Simply, the best Greek food in Manhattan, in an adorable corner bistro in the west Village. And everything is deliciously fresh and reasonable given the quality and the space ..they serve dinner lunch or breakfast too... the service is charming, welcoming , from people who aim to make you happy. worth it! High recommend!“
“Can’t write enough positives about Milo’s! As soon as we walked into there last night, we experienced a welcoming vibe. The food was fresh & fabulous, the decor minimalistic & organic & the ambiance palpable . However, I would like to recognize & commend Marina & Fotis in charge of the bar. Marina multitasks by interacting with the waiters, making drinks while talking to us! She is a natural who is sincerely interested in pleasing everyone at the bar. Just professional & very likeable! Fotis is also talented & explained the mechanics of running a popular bar. He is personable with a beautiful smile! They seemlessly work together & make it look easy! We love going to Milos & highly recommend it! Can’t wait to revisit Milos & both of them! It is our new favorite place! Thank you!!! Pat C“
“What a wonderful experience. The food was delicious! 10/10. We had a lunch of over 30 people and every person said the food is delicious and fresh. Afaq is a wonderful person. He is extremely helpful and polite. Can’t say enough about him and the business. Highly recommend!!!“
“Visited Meze for the first time with my husband on a Saturday evening around 5:30pm. It wasn't very packed yet, only about 2 other tables at that time. We started out with some appetizers. We ordered the Garlic Dip and the Blue Claw Crab Cakes. The crab cakes were tasty with the side of sauces. For entrees, we ordered the Lamb gyro platter which came with fries, salad, pita and the tzatziki and a chicken gyro sandwich. The platter is a LOT of food so it was well worth the $22! We enjoyed all of the food and cannot wait to come back and try other menu items!“
“Fabulous food and ambiance. Loved the private tables in the back! Had a lovely, quiet meal for 6 people and could actually hear each other. Highly recommend! Large portions. Easy to share, esp the souvlaki minis as apps. The Pasta Santorini with the zucchini spirals was excellent. Prompt, attentive, and friendly service. Put sparklers in our birthday cake! Very fun!“
“Great vegetarian options, clean place with healthy food that isn't too expensive... and in one of the busiest areas of town... can't go wrong!Vegetarian options: All the potatoes, chick peas, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc are really fresh. The falafel is good too“
“I am regular patron and always love the food, service, ambience especially for my clients. This time around, we had a group of 8 but felt all crammed and boxed in. Couple of guests could not even get out of their seats without others getting up. Music was a bit too loud on the evening and hard to have a conversation across the table!“
“Simply exquisite. Stumbled upon this gem almost by accident. I had Googled Mediterranean near me, to find Nerai was only 3 blocks away. I was a bit apprehensive that we’d be able to find a table on a Saturday night without a reservation, but the happily accommodated our party of four. My simple review will not do this place justice. The dishes were beautiful and delicious. In addition, the service was excellent.“
“I've been to this bakery at least 100+ times. This is the real deal in every way. Now for those people that have never worked in a bakery you cannot fully understand how difficult it is.The food and deserts here are top notch. I will say sometimes the service may seem lacking but I Can assure you it's not personal. They are exhausted from all the hard work that goes into putting out this great product.Please know you will not get better Greek baked goods in NYC!I approve this message.Helen Thorne“
“Their stuff is off the HOOK! I've been getting mostly chicken and pork sticks either on a platter or as a sandwich, and they's always been great, for some reason I hadn't tried the Lamb until today, OMG, one of th best Gyros I've ever had. The only complaint I have is if you get there at the wrong time the line gets pretty long, but that's just a testament as to how good their stuff really is! Keep up the great work!“
“Same operation as the famed Astoria eatery and just as good if not better, in a way. Decor was fresh and rather East village, the menu was varied and true to the Astoria precedent, and the wait staff was friendly and accommodating. I opted for two vegetarian appetizers as my meal on my companion hub roasted chicken with rice. All was thoughtfully prepared and presented. I would highly recommend this place for a date night or just a quick stop for nutrition. Delightful in every way! Will definitely be coming back.Vegetarian options: The crispy veggie chips were delicious as was the tzatziki which accompanied them. The spanakopita was traditional and flavorsome!“
“Excellent food and wonderful service. Was recommended by a friend of mine. A good alternative to King Souvlaki and with more vegetarian options. Reasonable prices and the lunch special is well worth it! And everything was delicious!Vegetarian options: Falafel, vegan pita, fish options for pescatarians.“
“Amazing Greek food! Love that the greek salad in the platter came with a dolmades - can’t remember the last time I had one! So fresh and tasty. The Chicken Souvlaki Platter itself was delicious. Definitely a solid choice. The star of the show though was the spicy feta dip. MUST HAVE. So spicy, so flavourful, so damn good. I will be back just for this.“
