This place is amazing. Where should I start, the ambiance is great. The food was really good. The drinks here deserve 20 stars.... Dinner had plenty of choices, from fish to steak. The oysters were very good also , very fresh and delicious. Made to orderdesserts. We had the donuts , very light and fluffy and not too sweet. I would definitely visit this place again. Read more
Beautiful presentation, excellent service. The appetizers were good, but on a smaller side. The garlic flatbread was just the... right texture and delicious. The vegetarian moussaka was presented with a fire show and tasted better than I anticipated - verytender and flavorful. My husband loved the lamb. One star off for desserts - the baklava was dry, the donuts were ok, ricepudding was good, but not thick like you’d get in Turkey or Greece. Overall, it was a good dinner. We took friends visitingnyc out for dinner here and it delivered. Read more
This was the best Mediterranean we’ve had in a long long time; maybe ever. Top notch service, food that matches and... sophisticated vibe. I truly enjoyed dining here and want to go back soon. Read more
Fine dining Greek. The service is truly attentive and always present. The place exudes fancifulness (a bit over my preference).... The food was all really well done. My favorites were the mezze and the dessert, perhaps going back to the root of how Greek foodis often enjoyed. The whipped feta cheese was perhaps the most unique, at the same time the most delicate feta cheese I've hadand the most flavorful whipped cheese. The eggplant (baba ganoush) had a slight citrusy flavor that complemented it really well.The pita bread unbelievably textured and fresh. Everything from the pastry cart was delicious, and the fried Greek doughnuts atreat, especially dipped in the tangy pomegranate molasses. The octopus was well cooked, but not above what I've had in manyother Greek restaurants. The Aegean stew was too plain for me, and the lobster hard, as if overcooked. Read more
Exceptional. Came here to take a break from my studies and it was just what we needed. Had they not participated in restaurant... week, it would have taken awhile for me to reach this restaurant on my list and I am glad I ate here tonight. Everything fromthe service to dessert was great. The service was prompt and courteous, I appreciate all of the staff. The decor is dim,intimate and romantic. It can certainly be a great date night spot or a family dinner if Mediterranean is a favorite. There arecertainly other spots in the vicinity that can be suitable substitutes if there is a wait. Definitely a solid option in the areaand will be my go to Mediterranean place next time I’m around the area. Read more
Elegant, good service, very fine Mediterranean inspired cuisine in a date night setting. Quiet and adult ambiance. Lots of... mezzes and terrific mezze sampler platter, delicious fluke (fish) ceviche, tasty lamb flatbread, crisp pear salad with endive...Interesting menu of seafood and beef entrees but we filled up on the small plates and loved every one. A special treat is thevariety of Greek wines on offer as well as a large, delicious selection of desserts. (Never too full to sample them.) Read more
What a wonderful establishment! I came here with my sister and we had a ball of a time connecting with people on staff, enjoying... dishes that awakened our senses, and trying beautifully balanced cocktails. The lighting and music levels were just right aswell - conversations could be held at a normal level and yet still be private. Highly recommend the squash flatbread, roastedeggplant (not pictured), and Greek doughnuts! Read more
