    Greek nouveau seafood-centric options in a lovely setting. Go for 3-Course $39 Lunch PF; $49 Wkend Theater Menu (Fri & Sat 5–6pm/9-10:30pm); OR $79 4-course dinner. And pay attention to the specials!

    High end Mediterranean food. Everything is fresh. Try the grilled octopus and Bronzino. Bartender makes a great Manhattan.

    amazing oysters, One of the freshest and flavoured we had. Grilled octopus is by far the best appetizer. Crab cakes are tender and of superb quality.

    Solid Greek food in a beautiful setting, perfect for entertaining on a business lunch. Fries + feta are addicting!

    The Persephone is the most wonderful cocktail I've had in NYC. Follow it with a Thymari for true bliss

    Get a bunch of apps (zucchini chips) and definitely have a glass of wine, it's the only way to make it through the rest of a workday in midtown...

    Octopus is good and a nice portion size. Needs some lemon or spice added though. Greek salad is great but only when tomatoes are in season.

    The "Greek Salad" is not the typical salad offered under that name in America. Mostly tomatoes in seasoning. Tasty.

    Probably everything. The sea bass was wonderful and so was the dip trio.

    The tzatziki is absolutely delicious, but the entrees were quite bland.

    Very overpriced underwhelming food. Fish, salad and sides were very average, you could probably do better at a Greek diner for 1/5 the price. Wouldn't ever come back.
