- Lino MianiMay 8, 2017First thing's first: the food is excellent. With menu items from various parts of Greece, it's a culinary tour. Owned by a Cypriot couple it has an authentic family feel to it. Highly recommended.
Michael DSeptember 17, 2015The Buffet for $12.95 is great. Food is excellent and their bread and fresh olive oil is tasty together. The garden seating is great and since I'm on vacation I will make my way back here one day.
Pavel UrusovAugust 20, 2013The garden is the best place to sit. The food is sublime. During lunch hours they have the buffet and you can have a very good lunch for the price of 2 sandwiches in Midtown Manhattan
Eren ErmanJuly 12, 2018Amazing restaurant if you want to feel like you are teleporting to Greece. Great seafood and wine. The ambiance makes you feel like you have travelled to another world. Thanks Denise!
This is far and away the best Greek restaurant I have ever been to! It strikes a nice balance between upscale and peasant Greek specialties. A must try!!
We have been eating here a long time. The food is great and the people are nice. You won't feel rushed. The lunch buffet is lovely.
David HarrityMarch 14, 2013Try the Kotopoulo Me Damaskina - Chicken Breast Marinated in Dry Sherry, Lemon Juice and Fresh Spices with Finely Chopped Prunes, Mango, Papaya, Thyme, Nutmeg and Peppercorns.- Jon DarveauMarch 24, 2012This is a cool little place, the garden in the back is a must. Everything our party had was really good on the menu, so dont think you can go wrong.
Michael KJanuary 13, 2018Spanakopita is best I’ve had at a restaurant. Yia yia soup is good. Shrimp with fried feta is great.
The sautéed shrimp and feta cheese appetizer for two is to diiiie for! Expensive! But way so worth it. I could it for every meal. Or just constantly without stopping.
Richard GeerAugust 15, 2015Awesome food and atmosphere, get a table in the garden on Thursday night and dance
Olivia JaneJune 30, 2014Delicious Greek food and great atmosphere! Definitely eat in the garden when it's available!
EmmaJanuary 21, 2017Delicious tzatziki and pita! The staff are so friendly! I would definitely go again.
Sarah SkardaSeptember 5, 2013Must try the Greek sampler platter that includes the caviar dip! Heaven in your mouth!- Olivia JaneAugust 22, 2013The appetizer sampler was amazing! And I'll definitely be trying some desserts next time
Come on Thursdays for the full on Greek experience! Live music and dancing. Opa!
Jessica GeiszlerMay 30, 2013Saganaki - traditional style - is not to be ignored... melts in your mouth!
Kylee CoffmanApril 3, 2011Fab Greek buffet & excellent service. Free champs for bday party f/ the owner. Get the Turkish coffee.
Yuri BOctober 20, 2014Service is great! Food is okay, but desserts are a pass. Baklava has no layers. Our party ordered one of each and all were unimpressed.
Bennett StarnesMarch 5, 2011Satyrikon is an excellent sampler. And the Moussaka is warm & filling without being heavy.
Margarita BraggOctober 16, 2011Best Sunday brunch buffet! This restaurant is beautiful and delicious.
Tyler MJune 6, 2013Food is mediocre, most commonly overcooked. The garden is beautiful and relaxing.
Marianna PoulosJuly 27, 2016A total rip off!! The $12.95 lunch buffet turned into $50+ They kept bringing us items that we didn't order and charged us for them. Food was poor and dolmades were canned. Stay away!!!!!
Maria LuisaJuly 28, 2016Es deliciosa la comida y el servicio de diez probamos el bufet y exquisito todo
