   We had a lovely last dinner of the year on the last night at the old location. Can't wait for the reopening in a new space in the spring!

   Excellent fish and Cannolli. But sadly too overpriced. Main dishes mostly $30-$45 with out accompaniment other than rice related dish or sauce they come with. Ambience and service not that leaves of pricing. Nice open tables. Ordering a side to have some kind of veggie $14. All a la carte- calamari very tender and good sauce accompaniment but soggy and not crispy. 2tiny scoops homemade ice cream superb but more than $12. Food dishes regularly cleared with silverware before finished appetizer or main course- but then waited quite a long time for check.

   One of our very favorite restaurants! We come here for meals every time we are in New York City. In particular, the appetizers are all good, but we like rye The sauce sampler, the grilled octopus, the grilled calamari, and the dolmades. For the entrée, we love the moussaka, the dolmades, and the agni yuvetsi, but all are delicious. For dessert this time we had the milopita, which was delicious as always. We finished off with muscat of Samos. Sally, the Papagiannakos retsina was unavailable. The restaurant is moving, as the building it is in is going to be renovated, but there is no new address as yet.

    Arrived early and were seated immediately. Our waitress was very pleasant, efficient and we did not feel rushed. Our cocktails were very good. We shared the vegetable tray with 3 dips - all tasty - and a Greek Salad. We enjoyed our entrees - Moussaka, chicken, crispy cod and salmon, but they were all very small servings for the price.

    Has lost its "touch" over the years, but still solid food and great Greek wine list. If they could somehow bring back that atmosphere they had in the early 2000's it would likely see a revival of locals and foodies alike, but at the current state it will continue to be a haven for gray-haired tourists and pre/post broadway show folks.

    Excellent option for pre-theatre dining - the space is open and expansive, particularly towards the back of the restaurant - which helped to keep the noise level down so quiet conversation was possible. This is unusual in NYC, and a welcome change. The menu listed some familiar traditional Greek fare such as moussaka, but other entrees were a twist on those standards. Appetizers - particularly the "dips" were excellent. Portions good and the service was excellent - brisk but not rushed in any way.

    If you want a taste of skimpflation, go here. The portions are substantially smaller than before according to pictures of the same dish orders years before. I get that restaurants are struggling during these hard times, but I couldn't help feeling a bit exploited after dining here.

    Another nice dinner at this restaurant. I had the moussaka and my partner had the salmon. The Moussaka was terrific as always and the salmon was very good. We had the almond cake which was really fine, a perfect compliment to the meal, small, not too sweet and accompanied by a delicious citrus rind and ice cream. The tables are well spaced which is particularly welcome form both quiet conversation and Covid protocol. I recommend it.

    The food was very good. Lots of choice and not only Greek. The wines by the glass were Greek, and my glass of white wine was as good as any comparable white wine, f.inst. from Italy. The service was very good, but far too rushed. The waiters did not walk, they practically ran, and it became a little distracting to have them "run" by the table. Overall a very good experience, and being so close to Carnegie Hall, excellent choice for concert goers.

    While I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere for 5pm, the food and the service, I really liked the fact that I could get a table for one. Other Mediterranean restaurants in the area did not take reservations for solo diners. They wanted to put me at the bar. I was warmly welcomed here & will definitely return.

    Our go-to celebration venue was very, very busy - energetic and with a constant stream of arrivals. There was a brief newspaper article that said it would be closing. I hope that instead it is able to locate somewhere in Manhattan! The menu offers a variety of reasonably priced selections, and the moussaka is a must!
