Vibes: Date Night Magic Group Dining Gatherings Luxury Dining Elite Trendy Table Hotspots
Bi-level Greek restaurant with a coastal-inspired room, a strong mezze program, and grilled fish at the center of the menu. Upper West Siders lean on it for slightly upscale dinners that still feel relaxed enough for groups and celebrations.
Must-Try Dishes: Htipiti, Whole Grilled Tsipoura, Lamb Chops
