The décor was inviting and the service was genuinely warm from the moment we walked in. We ordered the beet salad, grilled lamb, spinach pie, and octopus. The beet salad was delicious and came with almonds and a spread that tasted almost like hummus. The octopus was a generous portion and surprisingly tender -- my son ate more than half of it, which says everything. They also served bread and beans on the side, both of which were fantastic. The spinach pie came as huge triangles; it was decent, though not my personal favorite. The lamb arrived much later than the other dishes, but it was worth the wait. Thick‑cut, cooked medium rare, and served with grilled vegetables -- it was perfectly done and surprisingly good. Overall, the food was fantastic and the service matched it. We'd definitely come back.

I had went here for my birthday in 2024 because they participated in Restaurant Week and I never…read morehad Greek food before. My waitress was great, the bus boy came around and he had poured water with no ice. I remember that I had to ask my waitress for ice water and she came back with it. I was told by the Hostess that upstairs was only limited to private parties. I remember it was packed and they probably get a lot of foot traffic because it's right across the street from Bloomingdale's. They gave me free bread and looked like humus. The appetizer was grilled octopus, the only problem that I had was they had charged an additional $12 because this is Restaurant Week we are suppose to get a deal. The entrée was a Branzino served with saffron risotto. I always wanted to try risotto because of the reality show "Hell's Kitchen" they mess up on this dish numerous times. The dessert I had was a sorbet and it changes so you have to ask what kind they have when ordering. For the drink they had a sangria and it was delicious, I had ordered another one. They had special drinks on the menu for $10. I remember the place gave an old school feel of Greece with the design of the bricks inside the restaurant and the plates. The bathroom was just one that everyone had to wait on. The bathroom was clean, but small. I said that I never had Greek food before, I never had octopus before, I liked it. I never had risotto before, I liked it. The reason why I give this restaurant five stars because I can't remember if the bathroom had toilet seat covers or not because that's a plus for me. Would I go back here again? Heck yeah! The food was great! The service was great! I have now become a fan of octopus, risotto was delicious and so is that sangria, I had to order it twice. So come check out this East Side gem.

My friend and I came to this super cute Greek restaurant for dinner. The space was lovely and…read moremostly white, with blue lighting and pretty hanging lights. There was a cozy ambiance to the place. We decided to order from the prix fixe menu. For the first course, I went with the Avegolemono soup, which consisted of chicken, orzo, and egg, along with taste of lemon. This was nicely savory, hearty, and comforting. For the entree, I selected the Pork Loin with glaze sauce, broccoli rabe, and Greek fries. The Pork Loin was sliced, tender, with a smoky taste, covered with slightly sweet sauce. The flavors were bold. Greek Fries were satisfyingly crispy, with plenty of yummy seasonings and feta cheese crumbled all over. The dessert I chose was Nutella Mousse, which consisted of crushed Oreos and fresh berries. Although this did not feel very Greek to me, it was tantalizingly rich and creamy, full of Nutella and Oreo combined. Service was solid. Our waiter was welcoming and everything came out in a timely manner. I would be open to returning to try the Baby Lamb Chops or Salmon.

We ordered the whole snapper for 2 with 2 sides. Snapper was decent. Brussels sprouts was overcooked, soggy and lacked any flavor. Waitress was mediocre and maybe it was a bad day but didn't care much about our table. Left $20 tip for a $115 pretax bill. They had the audacity to add $5 to $25 as it reflects on my credit card bill. It's not about $5, it's about the integrity of this restaurant. Who knows what other sketchy stuff they do.

I went to this Italian spot with a couple of Mediterranean twists pretty recently with a decently…read moresized group. The place inside was pretty quiet, as there weren't that many diners, and the server we had was friendly and professional. The prices are on the higher end, but it's an Italian spot on the Upper East Side, and they serve seafood primarily, so it's to be expected. To drink, I had a decent negroni from the cocktail menu. It was $20 and was called Unico, named after the amaro of the same name. I don't remember the other details of the ingredients, with the drink having bitter orange flavor along with a bit of sweetness and some light licoricey notes. In short, it was alright. They gave us some warm, decent bread with pretty good olive oil to begin with. I was in the mood entirely for seafood, so I started with a crudo. Before ordering, while someone else got a glass of wine, I asked what the daily crudo special was. Apparently, it was tuna, presumably sliced from his description, and served with plums, scallion, and olive oil for $24. Instead, I went with the standard Tuna from the menu for the same price, which was cut tartare style and served with stracciatella, pistachio, lime, and parsley oil. The tuna was plentiful, and the meaty tuna worked well with the relatively rich cheese. The pistachios added some crunch, while the lime helped reduce the richness, though I do wish there was a bit more. Others enjoyed the burrata duo, watermelon salad, or arugula salad, though the burrata looked a bit overpriced at $30. My main dish was the $37 Swordfish alla Mediterranea, consisting of grilled swordfish steak served over tomato and Taggiasche olive sauce, along with some toasted pine nuts. It was a relatively large portion of swordfish, and it was cooked beautifully, being tender and meaty. I liked the sauce as well as the crunch from the pine nuts, and the occasional sour bite from either the cooked-down tomatoes or olives. My only complaint would probably be that there wasn't enough sauce on the bottom, but the fish was good enough that it was almost unneeded. Others enjoyed the rigatoni sausage & peppers, the linguine clams, or the halibut. I didn't try any of them, but apparently, the pasta was delicious, though the portion size was definitely on the smaller end, with most pasta dishes ranging from $25-$30. Having already spent a good chunk of change on the appetizer and entree, I didn't bother having dessert. Someone enjoyed the Cannoli for $12, which came with three miniature ones, making the price more reasonable. Three others got an order of the $15 Double Chocolate Mousse, which they all seemed to enjoy. This was a tasty meal. Going to bump up my rating a bit as it's new, but would still get a bit over a 4 if this wasn't the case. Would recommend if you are in the area and looking for fancier fish.
