    We made a reservation through OpenTable and got a confirmation email. The day of the reservation we called to say we were running late but the restaurant said that they: 1. Don’t take reservations 2. Aren’t on OpenTable 3. Can’t honor a reservation that we already made This was for a party of 7, when we were all already on the way on a very busy Sunday lunch / brunch!!! Outrageous! The most disappointing experience. Please take this place off OpenTable not to confuse anyone else who may decide to make plans at this restaurant.

    Great local neighborhood spot. We ordered eggplant and chicken souvlaki which were both very good along with a margarita cocktail which was excellent. They also have a breakfast menu which we will go back to try.

    Restaurant is permanently closed!! I arrived for my reserved time and the doors were locked with a notice taped on the door. I even called on my way to the restaurant to confirm reservation and address… the owner confirmed the address but did not tell me they were no longer in business at this location… My experience with Telio was pitiful!!!

    Open Table and Telio listed the restaurant address as 2479 Broadway, next to Symphony Space. INCORRECT! Upon arrival at 6pm my guest and I discovered the restaurant had closed at that location and had moved 12 blocks away to Columbus @ 85th St. A tiny note was attached to the inside of the door. I was very angry as there was no time to add 24 blocks travel time to our meal and make the 7:30 curtain. My guest does not walk that fast, and it was very cold. Telio and Open Table should strive keep their information CURRENT. A similar incident occured in early November when I planned dinner @5 Napkin Burger on East 14th Street only to arrive and find its location was closed.

    While eating our dinner. A homeless man entered the restaurant and approached our table asking for money. The owner or manager on duty quickly went behind the bar which was far from our table and did nothing. Even after the homeless man left, as he called us a name I won’t print, the manager or owner never came over to apologize for the incident. Appalling!

    My girlfriend and I along with our friend from out of town had an enjoyable time at Telio. It was a beautiful day to sit in their outside sidewalk dining area. It had a nice bistro feel to it. There was a piano player playing tunes when we arrived, which we liked. And soon after, another player showed up with a singer. She was singing jazz tunes and it was fantastic! The food was pretty good. My girlfriend and our friend enjoyed their stuffed grape leaves and halloumi. The braised lamb was super tender but a little under seasoned. I order the grilled calamari and the gyro platter. The calamari didn't have much flavor and could've been grilled a bit longer. The gyro meat had very little flavor and was disappointing. The french fries were the best, though. Crispy and flavorful. So, overall we enjoyed the experience and some of the food. Also, the service was good but it looked like our waiter was servicing every table. So he wasn't able to be as attentive as you'd hope for. But he was perfectly nice and did everything to make us feel comfortable.

    Nice meal with my wife's sister and brother-in-law. They keep kosher, and my sister-in-law is gluten free. Telio had gluten-free pasta and plenty of items on the menu that were vegetarian or fish. All in all, a good experience.

    The atmosphere at Telios was homey. The music was easy, and conducive to conversation. My friend and I enjoyed our server, George,Yorgos? very much. He was attentive, funny, and very sweet. Both of us enjoyed our dishes very much. The Keftedakia meatballs were the best I have ever had! I even took an order home! The Gigantes (giant white beans in a tomato dill sauce), was delicious! The prices were very manageable. Telios is now one of my go-to eateries when I am in the area. I would highly recommend it.

    The outdoor area where we sat was really scant. The inside areas were probably better to be fair. The Sunday brunch was really unspectacular, and the quiche and I ordered didn’t seem like it had been prepared to order. We were disappointed compared to other lunch spots we go to on Amsterdam.

    Baklava was beyond extraordinary. We met the grandma who makes it from scratch. It was beyond delicious. Loukaniko appetizer was more salad than sausage and lacked the orange zest. The souvlaki was lacking in flavor and spice. I would carry out the baklava and not dine in.

    Though we had a reservation, we were seated near the exterior door that kept opening to cold air. VERY NOISY. Slow service. Though I rated the food (due to the survey would not let me continue), we left before ordering.

    Italian food is the least expensive to make and taste good. Their recipe for meatballs fell so short. There were pieces of bread filling in the meatballs which means it absorbs grease which then lands on my waistline. The meat was not a good ground round or sirloin flavor, probably a ground chuck. It was hard fry-sautéed before being added to the sauce, which by the way was Nothing special. To top it off the serving was much smaller than most Italian places. Service was very slow, painfully so. The way the wait staff stood there and hung over our shoulder as we paid the bill was most annoying. She watched every move of our pen.
