Hibiscus margarita
Riri P.

Found after our fav Mediterranean spot across town was closed on a Monday around brunch time. Food was good and our waiter Aidan is one of the kindest I've come across which made the ambience feel even nicer. While a few tables filled from the time we arrived until we left, it was still pretty intimate. Helps that drinks are good (but pricey) and coffee to give an extra boost at the end as well.

Restaurant is quite pricey, even for nyc! Aside from that, really appreciated it - delicious food, very friendly service, cozy ambiance. Looks more empty at first, but quite a busy crowd inside the room (in the back, we were there on Thursday night).

Newly renovated, authentic Greek family owned restaurant. Super sweet staff that made our experience personal. Appetizers were great, the baked feta with their house bread was my favorite. I would go heavy on the appetizers, light on the main courses. Meat was slightly overcooked but everything else was great!

Egg breakfast bowl

AMAZING! Service/Ambiance: wonderful across the board! everyone was super attentive and friendly. We were able to sit in the cafe section and be on our laptop for a few hours on the weekend which can be hard to come by nowadays. Strong wifi, comfortable setting and great music! Food: quite possibly the best eggs I've ever had. My husband and I got both for the breakfast egg bowl and thought it was delicious - they must some type of seasoning/sauce that really made the dish. The avocado was also incredibly fresh. For another snack we had the orange olive oil cake which I must say I was skeptical about and it was UNBELIEVABLE. Truly a must-have! Very unexpected. The orange flavor is light and the texture was very soft and not too dense. They were unfortunately out of the brownie but I definitely want to come back and try it!

went here for my anniversary with my partner. This place was magical. We went during Christmas and the decor was amazing. Floating lights, vibrant ribbons, done up Christmas tree... everything was beautifully placed. The staff was clearly trained. They knew everything about the menu and were clearly attentive to their customers. The food was great! We shared the lamb chops which were amazing. I am a huge fan of lamb chops and I have never had such flavorful ones. We also had their dessert which was mouth watering!!! Amazing. I really have nothing bad to say about this place. It's a real gem!!

Our party of 4 ordered food wise 8 things and everything was delicious and incredible. Me having picked the place was especially glad to hear my two non-foodie friends saying "I saved this restaurant and I never do that" "best brownie I've had" etc. They also had the ouzo which was smooth and nice. I had the Greek coffee which was good too. Food wise, my personal favorite were the Santorini salad (amazing dressing and mix of veggies), portobello gyro and Ikaria bowl. All were packed with variety of flavors. I do wish the Ikaria bowl could have more veggies though. The warm manouri cheese was popular among us and my husband's favorite. I loved the tahini brownie with strong halva flavor. Just wish they make dessert without refined sugar. Service was fast and super friendly. Environment was relaxed and cozy. I'm coming back for brunch in 2 weeks with friends so am looking forward to it!

Beautiful coffee shop! I had an iced latte and my friend had a cocktail. We almost felt like we were sipping our drinks in an expensive furniture store because of how well arranged the furniture was and how cozy it was. Good service here too.

The vegetarian Moussaka was amazing!

If you are looking for a place to host an event in Manhattan, look no further than GRECA! We had our wedding at GRECA in June, and I cannot recommend this spot highly enough! The vibe was absolutely perfect, and we are still getting compliments from our guests about the food & drinks! From the beginning, Tom & his crew did a wonderful job of helping us to envision the space and the flow of the event. They worked with us to co-create the perfect evening, complete with a customized menu and schedule. They set the room up exactly the way we wanted it, making sure the space would be able to accommodate the needs of our party (we had approximately 100 people). On the day of, everything ran smoothly, everyone had an amazing time, and the staff was extremely helpful in addressing any/all concerns that popped up. GRECA comes equipped with a DJ booth, a microphone, and audio-visual equipment to support a customized photo slideshow. GRECA's location in Tribeca near the water also makes it an ideal place to take photos before the main event. If I had it to do all over again, I would pick GRECA as my wedding venue every time! 5/5 would recommend!

Abe A.

Amazing Greek restaurant. The staff is super nice and this space is huge. Plenty of space to sit down and eat and hangout in the back. Plenty of couches to hangout with friends and a bar right there. For brunch, get the Prosciutto Sandwich and the Avocado Toast.

The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.

We jumped over to the bar right beside and drank some girly drinks before getting the notification our table was ready. As with nearly every establishment in NYC, it is very close quarters in paradise lost. We stood at a table while waiting for seats at the bar to become available. Which, we didn't mind. I could see how this might be a little harder to get a seat for a bigger group if you aren't there before 6. It seemed that once a group got a big table, they camped out. The drinks were strong and creative. Friendly bartenders, good music, and yummy options for bar snacks. Also, the bathroom is a nice touch. Given the hell theming for the bar, the bathroom is a 180 and while using the Lou, you can listen to the bible being recited. Theres also a spooky surprise if you press the button in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, it is at the bottom of some decently narrow stairs. So, try and stay sober enough for stairs or you may fall. Go to this bar. You will have fun.

We wanted to have after-dinner cocktails in a chill space, so we searched on our phones & saw Paradise Lost address via Google. We proceeded to walk down & was unable to find the establishment due to their being no front sign. After walking back & forth a few times, we saw another group walking towards the door & they confirmed the place. We walked inside the front door pressed a "doorbell" & lo & behold we gained entry after the previous group went inside. Definitely an incognito entrance. Once inside that door there is someone to greet you, & take your information. There is a forest/ grass/ jungle-looking foyer/ hallway we walked down to get to the next door. Before we knew it, we were near the "Paradise Lost No Vacancy" neon sign w/ an arrow pointing towards the snake-shaped knob door. It gets opened & a supercool speakeasy awaits.... Paradise Lost has mixed style table / seating arrangements throughout the place. A bar seating section, booth-style seating area, lounge- style seating area, etc. We got there a little after 7pm, so the afterwork crowd was in full swing. Paradise Lost has interesting atmosphere. At times a Gothic / Medieval Vibe, meets place w/ shipwreck decor, meets eleganct /club vibe w/ beautiful ceiling lighting, etc. Music played in the background. Staff are friendly, energetic, & attentive. We were pleasantly overwhelmed w/ the vast selection of tiki cocktails that were on the menu. Paradise Lost also have an intimate selection of snacks/ food menu items. This included Popcorn, Tater Tots, Devilled Eggs Rangoon Dip, etc. We ordered some cocktails served in unique tiki mugs & a bucket of popcorn to munch on w/ our drinks. The popcorn is flavored w/ Sea Buckthorn & Browm Butter, which gave it an special flavor profile. Our cocktails were well-prepared & nice & strong. Paradise Lost has individual unisex bathroom stalls & a communal vanity & sink area. The bathroom stalls have spooky voices coming from a speaker as you use the bathroom. I was so humorously taken aback, it had me laughing when I came out...Definitely a different thing to experience in the bathroom - lol. Before we left we watched one of the bartenders do a cocktail "fire" presentation for some patrons in a booth seated area. Wow.... Paradise Lost accepts walk-ins only, no reservations. Paradise Lost accepts groups of 8 or less, unless you are requesting to book the space for a private event. Ages 21+ paradiselost.nyc @paradiselostnyc Paradise Lost is open everyday - 5pm-2am.

It was on a weekday, the day of NBA Finals Game 3 when everyone else were at bars & lounges getting ready for the game to start. This afforded us a beautiful and tranquil experience at Osamil Upstairs. Hidden behind a locked door inside Osamil, it's a spot you have to seek out to get in. After we shared we were going to Osamil Upstairs, the hostess from Osamil promptly unlocked the unmarked door for us to head upstairs to Osamil Upstairs. Had other customers not come out as we were walking up the stairs, we might have passed the entrance to Osamil Upstairs and continued upward! Much like what you might expect of a speakeasy, it's well-hidden, and the interior just blows the mind. It's elegant, beautiful, and comfortable. The drinks were good. My cheese in the trap was smokey (as promised!) and alcohol forward. My hubby had the Jung cocktail and it had the most magical, delicious combination of flavors! We also ordered a foie gras with toast appetizer as a pre-dinner snack; it was OK. All in all, a really pleasant experience and we'd return if we were in the area again!

The oyster miso was quite a stand out for me. All of the fish prepared was delicate and lovely. The Parker rolls were soft and a nice complement.

I would definitely pick from the selection of speciality cocktails. I got the smoked old fashioned (or similar) and that was potent, Smokey and delicious. We also got a few bites to eat. Other than the tuna tartare (didn't feel fresh) everything we got was nice - nigiri combo, kimchi fried rice, kings toast.... Nice drinks, nice atmosphere, good food and great service!!

You can see it in the photo (I did take one sip), but it was only filled to where the foam begins. For a $21 drink, I prefer my drinks filled, if not with alcohol, then club soda if you have to. The cocktails themselves were good, but the service really took away from the experience. If you visit, I'd recommend sitting at the bar, where you'll likely receive much better service.
