    Loved the vibe of this restaurant. As soon as you step inside you feel like you're somewhere in Europe or the Mediterranean. All the food was delicious! Our favorite was the Naxos crisps - fried to perfection with a sauce that was amazing! Cocktails were delicious as well. Definitely a great BK find! Service was excellent from all staff. There were live dancers that kept us entertained all night.

    Naxos really blew everyone away and I've been ranting and raving about my experience there! Gabriel was our server. He was lovely and helped us navigate the menu, making some suggestions of what to order. Every single dish was incredible! The seafood was very fresh. The lamb melted in your mouth. The Aegean heat was one of the best drinks I've ever had. The entertainment and decor of the space was stunning. Naxos is a bit of a splurge and they are sticklers about reservations, but absolutely worth it!

    This is a beautiful restaurant. There was clearly a lot of thought that went into the design. It is clear that the intention of the space is to be a Restaurant and transition into a lounge based on the seating. The staff were good. Food arrived in a timely manner Drinks were delicious I recommend the Eros dart if you like a spicy drink. Starters: grilled octopus, saganaki, and Portara ceviche. All were good but the ceviche could've been better. Branzino (lavraki) was delicious! I was also told the scallops and risotto- Htenia was tasty.

    Made reservations for 3 on a weekend for 5:30pm. Restaurant is very spacious, has good ambiance, it can get a bit dim. There is a photo spot right by the restrooms by the alcove. Honestly, photo spots are everywhere in the restaurant. For appetizers we ordered tartar: the chip was too thin to hold everything but it does not affect the taste of the dish. Ceviche: it was more than we expected and tastes really fresh. Octopus: it was just one tentacle, not a fan but one of my friend loved it. The texture was like chewy chicken breast. Hummus: it was good!! It would be nice if they warmed up the pita breads. We also got greek fries on the side. It was thick and good! For main dish, we ordered halibut and lamb chop. Halibut comes with fingerling potatoes and tomatoes. Lamb chops was three pieces and it comes with a half lemon with rosemary as a decor. As we were about to pay, we noticed that they already included tips in the bill. Make sure to check the bill before paying extra!

    Naxos offers a beautiful blend of Greek inspiration with a Latin twist in a space that feels modern, elevated, and thoughtfully designed. We started with the Thalassa salmon tiradito and oktapodi (octopus) both fresh and well-balanced. The Anra pita (lamb empanadas in puffy pastry with mojo verde) was rich and comforting, while the Htenia stood out with perfectly cooked sea scallops over creamy risotto and oyster mushrooms. For drinks, we tried Poseidon's Breeze and Theseus Escape. Both were flavorful, refreshing, and well-crafted, though on the lighter side alcohol wise. Great for sipping and enjoying the flavors, but don't expect to leave with a buzz. Dessert ended on a lovely note with the pistachio tres leches, a delicious and creative twist on the classic.

    If you're looking for a beautiful dinner spot in Williamsburg, Naxos (right across the street from Fushimi) is definitely worth checking out -- just manage your expectations if you're going on a Thursday expecting a full-on "ladies night" vibe. We were under the impression that the place was fully booked because Resy showed no availability the day of. Turns out that wasn't the case -- I called and was able to snag a reservation pretty easily. When we arrived, there were a few tables celebrating birthdays and some date nights happening, but plenty of open tables as well. It wasn't dead silent, but it also wasn't the lively, packed energy we were anticipating. The music, however, was great -- a mix that matched the Greek and Latin fusion aesthetic perfectly. Let's start with the ambiance: absolutely beautiful. The space feels upscale yet warm -- soft lighting, earthy tones, elegant décor that makes it feel like you're dining somewhere along the Mediterranean coast. It's a stunning setting for a date night or celebration. Now for the food -- which truly delivered. We started with two rounds of the Ero's Dart cocktail. It's fruity upfront with a subtle spice that sneaks in at the end -- refreshing, slightly flirty, and easy to drink. That said, the drinks were served in what felt like half-filled glasses, which was disappointing considering they're $20 each. For that price point, you expect a fuller pour. For appetizers, we ordered the Naxos Crisps and the Horiatiki Salad. The Naxos Crisps were addicting -- thin, crispy slices layered with creamy spreads and bright Mediterranean flavors. The texture contrast was perfect: crunchy, creamy, and slightly tangy all at once. The Horiatiki Salad was incredibly fresh -- juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, briny olives, and thick slabs of feta that were rich and creamy without being overpowering. It was dressed simply but perfectly, letting the quality of the ingredients shine. For mains, the standout was the Stefado -- chef's kiss. The meat was unbelievably tender, literally falling off the bone, slow-braised to perfection in a deeply rich, aromatic sauce with warm spices and a subtle sweetness. It was comforting and flavorful without being heavy. You can tell it was cooked with patience and intention. We also ordered the Kotopoulo with a side of asparagus. The chicken was juicy with beautifully crisped skin and seasoned all the way through. It had that perfect balance of char and tenderness. The asparagus was cooked just right -- vibrant green, still slightly crisp, and lightly seasoned to complement the dish rather than overpower it. They didn't have the N.Y. Strip available that evening and were offering Wagyu instead, which was a noticeable swap. Not necessarily a bad thing, but something to keep in mind if you go in expecting specific cuts and price point. Service was truly one of the highlights of the night. Matthew and Ela were amazing -- attentive, kind, and knowledgeable about the menu. They made us feel taken care of without hovering. Just a heads up when reviewing your bill: there is an automatic 18% guest gratuity already included. You're absolutely welcome to tip more (which we felt Matthew and Ela deserved), but be mindful so you're not surprised. Also note that tips are shared among the staff and don't go directly to your specific waiter or waitress. Overall, it was a great experience. The food was flavorful and beautifully prepared, the ambiance was stunning, and the service was top-tier. We just wished the energy in the room matched the vibe the space deserves. If it had been a bit more lively, it would have been a perfect night. Still, definitely a spot worth trying in Williamsburg.

    What a stunning addition to the Brooklyn dining scene. I came here last night with a group of 10 to celebrate my sister's birthday, and everything was amazing from start to finish. First, the ambiance and architecture are absolutely beautiful and really set the tone for the evening. Despite us being a larger group and the restaurant being packed on a Saturday night, the service was prompt, attentive, and seamless. Most importantly, the food was delicious. Every dish that landed on our table, from appetizers to main courses and dessert, was executed perfectly. I highly recommend making a visit here. It's the perfect spot for celebrations, group dinners, or a special night out.

    The aesthetic matches the taste here as both are amazing. The service was exceptional. I left here full and satisfied and would definitely come back.

    theasues' escape

    due to lack of reviews on tik tok & yelp, my best friend & i took it upon ourselves to check out this new spot. upon entering the establishment you are transported to a greek oasis. everything is sleek, stunning & well thought out. we had a reservation set for 5pm which my friend booked through the resy app. due to their newness, i believe it is pretty easy to snag something. however, i feel like during the warmer months it may be a little harder as the place gains popularity. we were greeted by the host and offered a coat check which we declined but it's nice to know that's an option. we were led to our table and my friend mentioned the seating was extremely comfortable. someone came by and asked if we wanted tap, still or sparkling water and we opted for a bottle of still. for drinks, we opted for the theseus escape & posideon's breeze. theseus escape was like a deconstructed piña colada. my only critique here is that the ice cube was rather big so I felt like the drink was finished rather quickly. i tasted my friend's drink, and i would describe it as a boozy, fizzy lemonade. for the appetizers we ordered the spanakopita & calamari. very tasty, hot (in heat) and flavorful. the sauce the spanakopita came with was divine. if possible, i'd order it on the side to go with an entree. the calamari was very crispy. we split an entree of the chicken on top of lemony potatoes. the dish was juicy & i'm hesitant to get chicken certain places because sometimes it's dry and underwhelming. not the case here at all though, it was spectacular. definitely check this spot out for a girls night out or a date night.

    This place opened around two months ago so it's still fairly new. The service was top notch and the food was great too. They even had belly dancers perform and they went around the entire restaurant being interactive with the diners. They had coat check at the front too. When we arrived around 8pm, the belly dancers greeted us. What you see from the outside is totally different from what you'll see in the inside. It has a very spacious interior and it felt like you were transported to Greece.

    Hummus, calamari and eggplant chips with yogurt.

    Ambiance was pretty very Greece kind of vibe. Went there on a date and it was very cozy/ chic. We had a few appetizers to start out. The service was ok it might have been a slow night. I thought the belly dancers would be there but apparently they don't do it anymore. I definitely would go back maybe during the weekend for a more vibrant experience.

    The problem with these new establishments is that they are money hungry and make everything an issue. It was my birthday and I booked a reservation for 4 people. I got there 10 minutes before my reservation time and was told that they cannot sit me until the entire party is there. Mind you it's just FOUR of us and they were five minutes away. Anyways when everybody arrived they still took a while to seat us even though it was a Wednesday and NAXOS was empty. Only two other tables were dining. I am a licensed baker and made my own cake they stated that there was a $7 PER PERSON "cake cutting fee". Definitely not for a cake I slaved to make the morning of my special day. To me that was insane so I put the cake back in the car. Then we were taking pictures and a Hispanic man (I'm not sure if this was the manager or supervisor) came over with a nasty demeanor and told us verbatim that "this is not how they do things here, they do business first and how we have to order our food before taking pictures". Now I could understand if it was the weekend and the restaurant was packed so the kitchen was backed up or going to close soon but none of this was the case. It was 7 pm on a Wednesday be so forreal. That turnt me off so badly that I left and went across the street to fushimi! Had a lovely time, amazing service and no "cake cutting fee". The decor is nice inside but not worth it for the poor service and attitudes you have to deal with. Please learn how to interact with your customers, have some empathy and decorum.

    Very disappointed with this spot and was rudely accused of not paying the bill!…read more Came here extremely excited to try out their birthday cake tiramisu and check out the restaurant in general since it had been on my list for a while. While the place is pretty cute aesthetically, the service was awful. I had made a reservation since that's what's recommended by the establishment and everyone we interacted with was pretty unpleasant. In addition, the cake tasted old and so freezer burnt that we had one bite and discarded the rest. Nothing about it was appealing. Worst of all no one seemed to want to wait on us so we spent the whole time trying to flag someone down so we left cash on the table for everything and left. Dispute all this we decided to still tip 30% since our order was so small and we wanted to be courteous. 15 mins later I get an extremely rude phone call from the restaurant immediately accusing me of leaving without paying! They didn't even have the decency to check the table without immediately assuming and being unbelievable disrespectful. Still in disbelief about the entire experience, would not recommend this establishment to anyone.

The menu changes constantly and you can find the latest menu on their Instagram stories which they update daily. As a rule of thumb, plan to get dessert. The dark chocolate tiramisu slice we were served was healthy in size, rich in flavor and perfect to split between the two of us. I tend to order 3 dishes (one protein and two side dishes) when coming in with a friend. The dishes are always a reminder of how simple ingredients can be combined to create fantastic flavors. As a note, the Chicken Cutlet was perfectly crisp and now I feel inclined to stop in for lunch and grab a sandwich. The wines are definitely selected by someone who has a preference for funky I almost want to say musky flavors. Never really found something there that I liked which is the only drawback to this place. Get a reservation, this place can be packed very quickly. It's also good for small groups, I've seen many a birthday dinner take place here.

Being Angelenos, it's VERY hard to find ANYTHING that is open IN-STORE after 10 or 11pm...even on the weekend!! We were so happy to find this establishment while walking between bars and starting to feel very hungry! Also, it doesn't hurt that the pizza here is also EXCELLENT! Having visited L'Industrie earlier in the week, which I absolutely LOVED, I was very pleasantly surprised to find the pizza slices here to be quite comparable in taste, quality, and size. It's also a very bright, open, warm, and welcoming space within. Service was prompt and efficient, if not a tad bit curt...although I give them grace...considering the fact we were visiting late at night around 2am. Anyways...if it was THAT good when we went in the middle of the night...I feel I can confidently recommend this spot as great for grabbing pizza slices. It's definitely worth a visit, in my book!
