We were recommended from friends ....omg....this place is fabulous.... from appetizers to entrees to dessert the food is exceptional!! Gregory the owner was so wonderful to us as well. Can't wait to go back !!
Real Mediterranean & Greek food like only the people behind the window know how to offer the best taste...
We were greeted by many different extremely friendly people, all of whom were very professional so 10/10 service! The restaurant had a beautiful interior with lovely cover songs playing in the background. The food was great-perhaps not the best Greek food I've had, but it wasn't bad! There are certain things I recommend, such as the eggplant spread, korali chips, and the galaktoboureko.
We ordered shrimp and scallops in tomato sauce and on a bed of mashed potatoes. It was delightful, I enjoyed every bit of it, then we had the greek fries with feta cheese and it wasn’t that good. The fried were not fried properly, they were soggy and felt more like mash potatoes rather than French fires.

I have walked by this place many times and wanted to try it, finally did. It's definitely on the pricier side but I think worth it. The decor and vibe is very nice, having dinner here especially on a date would work, or for a very nice work meeting. It's larger inside than I initially appreciated.
We went for lunch didn't get any alcoholic drinks, just water. We tried the trio of dips/spreads, one of us was vegetarian so we got one to share and a preference for each of us. The dip with the fish roe ended up being much too salty so I didn't really like that. The pita was yum, the best dip of the three we got was the htipiti which has roasted bell peppers and paprika. My vegetarian friend said the eggplant spread wasn't bad but not as good as the htipiti. Then I got the grilled octopus main dish and that was so yum! The octopus was well cooked not too chewy with good helping of it (not just lie few pieces but lots of pieces) on a bed of what seemed to be polenta. Would definitely recommend that dish.
Service was great too. Overall I would come back here and definitely recommend
It was truly an impeccable experience.
From the second we walked in, we were welcomed by breath warmth and comfort.
As we sat to order , we were overwhelmed with the authenticity of this beautiful restaurant.
Although we were worried that the food itself would not live up to the standards of the exterior beauty of the place, we were pleased that was not the case. As someone who has traveled to many countries, including various Greek Islands, I was shocked with the authentic and truly mesmerizing flavors captured within everything we ordered.
We would like to thank everyone, from the host that welcomed us, to the owner who made us feel at home, to the servers that truly tied the whole night together, we could not speak more highly of this place. Thank you as well to the amazing chef Solomon, I look forward to trying more on your menu another time.
σε ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ
Really enjoyed our 10th anniversary dinner here! Great environment, it wasn't busy when we got there around 7pm (which was very nice) and it got busier when we finished (and we understand why). Delicious food, nice service, would recommend and would repeat.
It's been about 2 years since we ate here, always a favorite. The food and ambiance are still authentically Greek but the prices are like Tokyo! Hard to justify $36 for a lamb souvlaki no matter how good. Might return for the food when we crave Greek, otherwise... not.
What an incredible place! The service is excellent, they go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and cared for. Very warm ambience. The food is so fresh and delicious. The desserts are uniformly mindblowing - the Greek yogurt dessert, baklava with icecream, the Nutella mousse in a flower pot. The cocktails are divine, like the celestial beings they are named after!!

Still amazing! The grilled fish is delicious, I’m a huge fan of the htipiti and the grilled octopus is a must. We love this place after a nice day at the museums.
2019 review:
Such a great experience. Beautiful restaurant, incredibly friendly service- it felt like we were locals to the neighborhood and that we’d always been going there. The food was fresh and delicious, I highly recommend the grilled fish!
Awesome experience. Quick service. Nice ambience. Fully stocked bar. Limited beer selection. Seafood combo appetizers was fantastic. Hummus, carp row and tzatziki spread was great. Cheese cigars were fantastic and flakey. Shrimp, octopus and crab cakes were out of this world. Seafood risotto was savory and tasty. Lamb slouvaki was amazing. I believe I found a jewel in the UES. Definitely a place for all to visit.
Excellent Greek food. The raw bar was very fresh. The dips with pita were proper. We ordered the Bronzino and Dorado grilled fish, both were excellent, as a side we ordered feta mashed potatoes and lemon potato wedges. The feta mashed potatoes was an odd combination of flavors and I don’t think I would prefer feta in my mashed potatoes In the future. The inside decor was very cute and the waitress was lovely. I live in the neighborhood and would definitely come back here for dinner.
