Poor is an understatement..... 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

A waiter took my order and disappeared. After 20 minutes I called over another person who when I asked where was my waiter they promptly brought me a dessert menu. That was just the beginning but the bottom line is the food is not worth the price. If you are not a New Yorker you will probably think it is wonderful due to the decor and better than average menu. But as a New Yorker I can tell you that there is better in this city and at half the price. After an ok meal, I once again asked where my waiter went; I never did get an answer. You want good greek food go to Astoria.

Pros: Decor, location
Cons: Prices, service

Very good 5 Star Rating - World class

Went here with a group of people for lunch. Had the prix-fixe. Good bargain, compared to other nyc restaurants. Everything was very fresh (fish was excellent). Baklava was very good. Satisfying and fulfilling meal. Will go back.

Everything was good.. 4 Star Rating - Very good

If you want good seafood and great drinks this is your place. I eat fish daily and have trouble finding good places in NY. It gives you a romantic dinning. I loved the Sea Bass. Excelent drinks!!! Good service. I can't wait to go back

Beautiful restaurant 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

As we stepped in the door, a large Greek man sitting at the bar welcomed us in. We must have looked out of place, he said 'Come on in, have a drink!'. This place was gorgeous- beautiful colors, dramatic draperies and fabrics, warm lighting, minimal but modern decor. The service was a little slow, but friendly. The wine list was interesting- a lot of wines I didn't recognize. I don't even remember what I ordered, but my glass was only $8. Not too bad. I'm not sure if I would go back, the menu wasn't easy to understand or recognize. We could have used a little assistance
