This restaurant accepted a reservation, but we had to wait more than 30 minutes to get seated. The wait staff was accommodations, friendly, and satisfactory. We had a drink at a busy bar, and once seated had a little wait before we were attended. The initial common Greek offerings as appetizers were satisfactory, and adequately prepared. The dover sole, while expectedly expensive, was nicely prepared, however, the sauce, while good, was scantily placed on the plate. The presentation after deboning was fine. No desert was had, and the Assyrtiko Wine was standard, and slightly overpriced

This is an excellent Greek restaurant with top notch service, fresh seafood and new twists on original greek staples. The elegant understated decor matches the simplicity and the sophistication of each beautifully plated dish. We shared several appetizers followed by entrees. Everything was delicious , specially my Lavraki fish. I highly recommend this restaurant for an elegant night out. I give it my GoldnAdvice seal of approval.

We were there after going to a meeting at The Jacob Javits. We were greeted immediately when we walked though the front door and were escorted to our table. We ordered drinks while we waited for another friend to arrive. My old fashion was perfectly prepared. We ordered spreads and pita and zucchini chips for the table as starters. Both were very good. For appetizers we had Greek tomato salad and grilled octopus. For entrees we had lamb chops and strip steaks. Both the appetizers and entrees were delicious. Everyone of the staff was professional and friendly.

I am so happy I discovered this restaurant. The food, service, and atmosphere were all exquisite. The Spanakopita was the best I’ve ever had and the Scallops were also magnificent. The service was attentive but not intrusive. I will definitely be back!!!
