Have been eating here since restaurant opened decades ago. Off night. Lobster pasta was not great. Sauce had no flavor. Scallops next time--they are usually delicious. Daughter's molten cake was burnt on the outside--black and stinky. Not going to argue about what constitutes molten. As my husband just said, "In Paris, nobody who wanted to be in business tomorrow would serve this tonight."

2 people. Had a wonderful time. seafood was so fresh and tasty. Lots of free spreads with pita. Ordered 2 appetizers and one whole fish that they filleted. The Pana Cotta for desert was to die for.

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!

Food Was Awesome but service was spectacular right in point. Greek Salad is fresh and tasty and the seafood was just as I expected. We were greeted and treated like royalty. Will go back just for the service, they do go far and beyond

This is, without question, the worst meal I've had in 8 years in NYC. The lamb? Gray and rubbery. The spinach? Microwaved and shockingly flavorless. The mushroom risotto might as well have been Rice-a-Roni. I am baffled that this place has as high of a rating and as many reviews as it does. The only reasonable explanation is that they're fake.

Best way to put it, this restaurant is a SCAM! I’m writing this from the restaurant so that tells you how terrible this whole experience was. We had a reservation yet waited for 40 minutes. That’s ok because valentines night and everybody is busy. We started with a martini which was probably the worst lychee martini I have ever had. Again, I was still hopeful for the food. When I say disappointed, it’s the best way to put it. The worst lobster pasta I have ever eaten especially when it’s $58. Bland. Cold. No flavor. Chewy and made us wait for 30 minutes after the appetizers were finished. We asked for a bottle of Moët that was $29 on the menu. When the bill came they charged us 2 glasses of Moet citing its $28 per glass that’s for each bottle. It was never conveyed to us. Hence I call this restaurant a SCAM. Paying this $200 check really hurt. The service was terrible. The food was terrible. All and all, I would have had a much better Valentines dinner at home. I DO NOT recommend this place 0/5.

Had an 8pm reservation on Valentine’s Day, waited 40 minutes and still wasn’t seated. Had to leave. Extremely poor management. No drinks or anything offered while we were waiting. Do not book if you actually want to eat dinner.
