Disappointed Birthday Dinner at Papa’s NYC I had high hopes for Papa’s in New York City, especially after booking a reservation three months in advance to celebrate my 40th birthday. Unfortunately, the experience left a lot to be desired. We had an 8:30 PM reservation, but we didn’t get seated or served dinner until 9 PM. While the restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous—a beautifully designed space with a lively, party-focused Greek vibe—the service and dining experience were extremely disappointing. Let’s start with the positives: •The vibe was great if you’re looking for a loud, high-energy atmosphere with a DJ and party crowd. •The interior is stunning and definitely Instagram-worthy. Now the downsides: •Our server, Jurgen, was rude and dismissive throughout the night. •Drinks took an unusually long time to arrive. •Appetizers came out at staggered times, not all together, and we had to ask multiple times for missing items like pita bread. •For the entrées, 2 out of our party of 8 never received their meals, and when we asked about it, the server claimed it was the kitchen’s fault and offered no resolution. •We asked for a manager, who did apologize but didn’t make any effort to fix the issue or improve the experience. •No dessert menu was offered—in fact, we felt rushed to finish, and the server never came back after dropping the check. •At no point was there any real apology or acknowledgment that things had gone wrong on a special night. Bottom line: If you’re looking for a club-like atmosphere with great music and vibes, this place might be for you. But do not come expecting a quality dinner or good service. If I could do it over, I’d eat somewhere else and just come here for drinks and the scene—not a sit-down meal, and definitely not for a celebration.

I went for my sister's birthday and it was a disappointing dinner experience. Nice ambiance, entertainment was fun, and good drinks. However, Service was very slow and food took over an hour to be served. They ran out of salmon on a Saturday evening! We initially asked for a greek salad and was told they ran out of that as well. We did get it later on during the extensive wait for the main course. On arrival, my chicken souvlaki meal was undercooked and lacked flavor. The Lobster pasta dish was a large portion with no lobster. I am fine with City pricing but what we paid was not worth it for the lack of quality and service. Pappas needs to decide if they want to be a night club or provide fine dining. They are not meeting the standard when it come to dining. We bought a cake for dessert but took it to go. I would not recommend or visit again.

Service was horrible, waiter was rude, didn’t come up also for a long time. When I said why didn’t you come up , he was not friendly. Said “ is it me that is rude or you ?” , wasn’t accommodative and attentive. I would not recommend this place…

I had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday at Pappas. The atmosphere is loud, high-energy, and definitely keeps the party going. The highlight of the night was hands down the music and entertainment — they really know how to create a fun, lively vibe. The drinks were also a hit, especially the one with the evil eye floating in it — super cool and unique. If I had to point out one downside, it would be the food. It wasn’t terrible, but it definitely didn’t match the level of the ambiance and entertainment. A little improvement in food quality would really take the whole experience to the next level. Overall, I’d rate this a great experience and would recommend it for a fun night out.

We didn't know anything about Pappas in advance but it came up with solid ratings when we searched OpenTable for a place to eat after seeing a play at the Minetta Lane Theatre. Unfortunately, a disappointing experience. After I was told I could not substitute a side I'm not supposed to eat that came with my preferred menu item for one that I can, even though they were priced the same in the sides portion of the menu ("you can only add on"), I ordered tuna instead. It was overcooked and extremely tough. My food rating would have been poor if it had not been for some solid meatballs my wife ordered. Given the hour, the restaurant had very few people in it. Despite this, our waiter didn't come back to the table after the food was served. We finished our entrees and wanted to leave. After a long wait, I got up and went to find him. He was chatting with colleagues at the end of the bar. Finally, the music was unnecessarily loud. We won't be going back.
