We sat upstairs, which was suggested if we wanted a little quieter evening. It was charming. Service was terrifc. We did the tasting menu, 4 courses, which was plenty. Everything was good, especially the pasta with lobster. The fish was light and fresh, and the lamb chops were oh so good. Dessert was just ok, but who needed dessert ? Well worth a visit.

Nerai probably is the most unusual and creative Greek restaurants I’ve ever visited. Set in an elegant and sophisticated white dining room, the experience is first rate overall. Dishes are beautifully
Plated and the flavors are superb. Authentic yet nouvelle and different. Also, the service is excellent.
Definitely would return!

We were in town for the weekend and stayed at the Omni. Nerai was a couple of blocks away so easy to get to. The food was fantastic and the wine menu with some Greek wine options was wonderful. Highly recommend this restaurant

There are three excellent Greek restaurants in NYC. The other two are well known, but tend to be very noisy and tend to rely on their reputation. Nerai, on the other hand offers an elegant venue, with professional service and simply stunning food.
