I went to Kyma for a brunch party on a weekend. The valet parking situation threw me off a bit because I arrived early and the parking lot seemed spacious and empty, but I could see it get fuller and busier at times. There's also street and town parking available though it is a little bit of a trek as Kyma is separated from the Main Street establishments. I did hear that this is a dressier place with DJ and people dancing, but the volume of the music felt a tad loud. I had the Greek 75 which was lemony and surprisingly very herbal. The cocktails here are not in-your-face strong, which is not bad for brunch as I didn't want to be totally wasted during the daytime. We had a whole spread of shared appetizers for the table. The famous Kyma chips were okay, but I honestly enjoyed the spreads and the grilled octopus better. The highlight of the brunch was a bongo player coming out periodically during the brunch, encouraging the crowd to get up and enjoy the music. There's that fun party vibe throughout the meal with sparklers being handed out and napkins being thrown up in the air. But this makes the dining room area an absolute chaos with waitstaff and other patrons bumping into each other. I wish they would clear an area of the hall for people to dance and enjoy themselves without being on top of other diners who are trying to enjoy a meal and a conversation. For my entree, I had the Lavraki "brozini" white sea bass that was filet opened and grilled with copious herbs. I did enjoy how flaky yet meaty the fish was, but the fish bones and insides were not removed meticulously and I had to keep picking out big and small bones. Not a big deal for me, but it's not something everyone wants to do when they're on a nice dinner out-- definitely not a date food. I tried a little bit of the shrimp linguine pasta and thought it was delicious. I have mixed feelings about Kyma because it is a good time if you are going for some drinking and dancing but the food and service was a little lacking compared to how expensive it is. It's a good time, but it is not a bargain. I would go if I was invited to a gathering there, but I would not go on my own.
Previously dined at their city location and had a great experience, so we decided to try this one since it's closer. Beautiful space and valet is a plus. Drinks are pricey but delicious and worth it. Calamari and octopus were excellent. Unfortunately, the Chilean sea bass special was disappointing. Very small portion, not cooked properly, and lacked flavor especially surprising for an upscale restaurant at that price point. The sides were great, but I came for the fish. Also surprised no one checked in to see how everything was. If I return, it would likely just be for drinks.
Delicious food! So rich in flavor and cooked to perfection. I came here on a Saturday night and had a reservation for 2 at 8:30pm and was not seated until 9:15pm. Beautiful decor inside, valet parking, decent size restaurant, attentive staff. It was very loud and the tables were extremely close together where the wait staff was reaching over our table to serve other tables, which is not ideal. I would suggest coming here on not such a busy night for a better experience because the food was absolutely amazing so don't miss out on this spot!!
This was my third visit to Kyma, and unfortunately, it will likely be my last. My previous experiences were great, but this time was a complete disappointment from start to finish. The appetizers are usually a strong point, and they started off well again -- we had the zucchini and eggplant chips, which are always delicious, especially with the garlicky sauce. I also tend to order the watermelon salad, but this time it really missed the mark. The watermelon wasn't ripe at all, which made it unappetizing. Honestly, if ripe fruit isn't available, it might be best to take that dish off the menu. The real problem was the entrée. I specifically ordered the Fagri, a fish I've had and enjoyed here before. What I received was not Fagri. It was bland, the skin was grey and thin, and it looked and tasted more like branzino. When I questioned it, the waiter insisted -- repeatedly -- that it was Fagri, which felt dismissive and insulting. If the fish wasn't available, I should have been told upfront. Instead, I was served something else, passed off as what I ordered, and expected not to notice. On top of that, it wasn't even properly prepared -- despite being filleted, it was full of long, thin bones and basically inedible. I've included a photo of the actual fish I was supposed to be served, but NOT. The service made the experience even worse. My second drink took far too long, and the waiter barely checked on us the entire night. I used to recommend Kyma, but after this visit, I cannot. Serving the wrong fish, denying it when questioned, and delivering poor service is unacceptable for a restaurant of this caliber.
Yum yum . Good service. Came here to celebrate my friends bday and we enjoyed everything. I enjoyed being told the specials but I knew what I wanted. The charred octopus amazing. I do not like octopus but this didn't make me think I was eating octopus. The wedges were very lemony. I loved the pits chips and hummus. My pornstar martini was delicious. Cheesecake amazing. The sunset was gorgeous. I would sit outside next time & they have valet.
Came here for Father's Day dinner. We had reservations for 6 at 5:30pm. Reservations were easy to make via OpenTable. They valet parking in the lot or you can park in the metered lot half a block down. We were seated at our reservation time. Ambiance was nice with a Mediterranean feel. Servers were attentive. The restaurant did get pretty loud and lively after 7. What was disappointing to me was when the server told us a list of things they were out for night and we had early reservations. I can't imagine what it was like for ppl who had reservations at 7 and on. They were out of the pink snapper, dorado, bronzini and watermelon salad. I usually order the dorado when going to a Greek restaurant so I was a bit disappointed. But I decided to order the red snapper and the waiter comes back and says that was sold out also and the only fish they have left is the 2lb red snapper. We went with it and shared with the table. The fish was cooked perfectly, very tender and moist. The appetizers were also amazing. We ordered the zucchini/ eggplant chips and the grilled octopus. My daughter who is a picky eater loved the zucchini chips and kept asking for more. We were stuffed from dinner and didn't order dessert. I would come back again to try more things and hopefully on our next visit, they wont be out of everything.
We love the ambiance. The space was open and calm and not busy. Our waiter was the nicest old man, clearly old though. We had one too too many cocktails and drinks all good but nothing especially stood out. We ordered tuna, octopus, a Greek fish the nice old waiter recommended, oysters raw, and the lemon chicken soup. Every single bite was delicious. If I had to pick a favorite it would be the soup, but I need to come back and not drink so much so I can order the rest of the menu
The Long Island outpost of the flatiron fave lives up to the name. Was as much as a scene complete w dj, great food and great people to see and be seen! Service was impeccable. Attentive, personal and not intrusive at all. The hummus and pita bread was great. Greek salad for 2 a must. Fresh and drizzled with evoo does the trick. The sesame fried feta was a great play on baked Brie. It is topped with a fig compote sorta kinda thingamajiggy. Ex-Cell-ent. Sweet savory and nutty: absolute decadence. Tuna tartare was great too. And we also tried the pink snapper grilled. The kymatini was a great play the classic martini. The walnut cake was great as well similar to a carrot cake In flavor and texture. Both too sweet but very flavorful. If you're in Roslyn and looking for a great spot on the wkd highly encourage you hit up Kyma for a fun and flavorful night.
One of the best restaurants on Long Island, I've dined here a few times and recommended it countless times, always a good experience. Seafood is fresh and all dishes are delicious. The outdoor tent is beautiful, on Saturdays they have a boozy brunch with a live DJ & drummer. You can add on unlimited brunch cocktails for 2 hours for $30. Staff was very efficient, covid regulations in full effect. Hostess was super friendly and went above and beyond when you call to book reservations. We ordered a bunch of appetizers which are shareable portions and very filling. The stuffed calamari was great, very tasty, grilled calamari was amazing! Meatballs were kind of dry. Mussels were good, seafood tower was huge and a good mix of everything. Lamb chop entree was cooked to perfection, as were the lemon potatoes which are my personal favorite. Complimentary valet parking available as well as limited street parking. read more

Girls dinner! Had a great dinner with 6 girlfriends. Our waiter was super friendly and helpful In helping us make choices off menu. So many good options. Food is delicious and fresh. Mojitos were so good! Will definitely be returning. Such a good time. read more
Went for an anniversary dinner. Had higher expectations of the food based on the reviews but I thought it was just ok for the price. The seats were too close together as well. You felt like you were having dinner with the table next to you. That being said......I had hands down the best cheesecake ever there. Very light mascarpone cheese. I would go back there just for dessert read more

The food was top notch for Greek food. The service staff was attentive and did not rush. They have a wonderful outdoor setup and a even better indoor experience. The fish was fresh and the dips were tasty. When I was there, a large party booked half the outdoor space, so definitly ask if you are looking for a large group setting, as they will surely accommodate. Definetly will come back again. read more

Genuinely so impressed with this place! We made reservations for the same day at 7PM and they were able to accommodate us. Valet parking at the restaurant is complimentary! The restaurant itself is beautiful - serves for the perfect date spot or birthday dinner! We started with the Spanakopita and Pikilia. The Spanakopita was HUGE. Definitely didn't expect two big pieces, being a more upscale restaurant. It was flaky, buttery and filled with spinach! The Pikilia consists of different spreads. All were so good! Complimentary pita bread is given with the table as well. Perfect for sharing! For entrees, we got the Black Sea Bass and Red Snapper. The fish were huge! It's a whole fish, and they come with the option of rice, lemon potatoes or couscous. They were perfectly cooked and very simple, which I liked. Just flavored with olive oil, lemon and herbs. We also got the baklava for dessert. Again, another huge portion and very sweet. Would probably pass on this. The hospitality was great, drinks were strong and it was a gray experience! Definitely will be returning. read more

Appetizers over Entrees!!! Obsessed with their Greek Salad, pita bread, and Kyma chips. Ordered the lamb chops this time and they were delicious but definitely nothing in comparison to the appetizers. I recommend getting 2 per person and making that your meal! read more

Absolutely unique and wonderful restaurant focusing on Mediterranean style delicacies. For appetizers, the tuna crudo was amazing! Also, the calamari was so fresh and with a basil dipping sauce was to die for. OMG and the octopus, it was charred perfectly and so rich in flavor For mains, we did full family style sharing, and ordered the seared scallops over vegetables, and the lamb chops. Totally AMAZING! Also with the tomato salad, which was honestly the best I've ever had. It is fresh tomatoes over this wonderful garbanzo bean veggie combination that had the perfect texture and flavors. There are NO canned ingredients at this place! AND the roasted cauliflower side which was something I wish I could make at home. I was told it was marinated for many hours, it kept its integrity and just absorbed all the creamy and herbaceous sauce. I Highly, Highly recommend Kyma! I can't wait to come back again and again. read more
Can I give this place 5 stars??? Not sure where to begin, the food is amazing, the service was top notch and the restaurant makes it feel like it's summer all year long. Very relaxing feel. You must make a reservation early otherwise you are not going to get the time you want. Grilled octopus appetizer was insanely delicious Shrimp cocktail Fresh crab meat A simple tomato salad was so good Got to get the tower of fried zucchini Then they have 2 cheese appetizers that is like nothing we ever had. The fried calamari was great, included the legs Dinner included; Prime rib lamb chops (out of this world) Lamb shank with risotto Crab legs And a roasted chicken dish served potato's Dessert Cheesecake is incredible Our waitress Lior(I hope I got that right) provided impeccable service, friendly, outgoing and will be our waitress every time we go. We can't wait to go back!!!!grilled octopus read more
Kicking myself in the butt for not having been here earlier! A few friends of mine and I dined here on a Friday and were pleasantly surprised by the attentive service, impeccable decor, and freshness of the food. For appetizers we ordered the grilled octopus, tuna tartare (the special of the night), zucchini chips, and Greek salad. I surprisingly wasn't too keen on the tuna tartare dish - I felt it lacked something. But that octopus!!!!! Oh god, some of the best I've had in a WHILE. Incredibly fresh, buttery, and lemony served on a bed of zesty red onions and capers. I would come back for this dish alone, it was that good... Zucchini chips and Greek salad are also definite orders for next time. For entrees, we were already pretty stuffed so we ordered the vegetable penne pasta, baby lamb chops, and red snapper to share. The vegetable penne pasta was surprisingly soooo flavorful and the veggies were so tasty. The lamb was okay, I've had better. But the red snapper stole the show. Soft, flaky, and incredibly fresh. I love Kyma so much that I'm already plotting my next trIp back, but on a Thursday next time when there's a DJ and party! Kyma has earned its spot as one of my favorites in Long Island list. Impeccable service, delicious food, and an exquisite experience overall. I can't wait to return. read more

We had a 6pm reservation on a Wednesday night. The place filled up fast! This seems to be a popular spot! We were surprised at how crowded it got. I had surf and turf, which was pretty good. The steak was prepared very well. The presentation of the giant shrimp was not my favorite but that's pretty standard at a lot of Mediterranean places. The meal itself was incredibly filling. I was stuffed. The service was very attentive and friendly. My mother had spilled some water and they immediately came to help clean up the mess. I'm so glad that I got to try this place. read more

Overall rating, as Yelp does not give 1/2 stars...3.5 for this visit. Ambiance: 5 Service: 3.5 Food: 3.5 First impression, the restaurant features a huge parking lot and is beautifully decorated from the front door all the way through to the main dining room. Comfy padded seats and whitewashed walls with lots of nautical/sea side décor. Some beach inspired colors and line vibe. This appears to be a very popular neighborhood spot. I came here on a Sunday night for dinner, at 6pm, and it was bustling. The dining room was already packed with people and a big private party was just leaving. Talk about dinner rush. This gave me high hopes - maybe too high, for what ended up being only mediocore on the food. My party of four ordered a pitcher of white sangria to share. At first taste it was great, but by the second glass it was watered down and all of the flavors of the fruit were gone. We also started our meal with their ever so popular Kyma Chips - paper-thin Zucchini and eggplant chips served with tzatziki sauce for dipping. Everyone was ordering them and it was noted as a must try on Yelp...but frankly speaking while good, it was lacking something (salt? herbs? maybe had to be fried a little more?) - ours was a little soggy after a few minutes. Not impressed. We did enjoy one other appetizer, the Octopus. It was grilled and sliced to offer some generous bite sized portions. Lots of onions, colored peppers and capers to add to the red wine vinegar marinade. This dish was more indicative of what I expected for this place. Onto dinner, I shared the Moussaka with my friend and it was very good. The ground meat and béchamel really makes this dish. The eggplant was thin sliced and soft. The baby lamb chops were flavorful but a tad dry - to be fair, it was ordered well done. (I normally would not have done so, but majority rules). The last entree was the Tiger Shrimp (or Jumbo Prawn Special for the day) - totally overcooked and dry. Didn't taste fresh at all. We had half a mind to send it back but our waiter was nowhere in sight. But I personally do not like doing that anywhere. We ordered desserts to share to end the night on a sweeter note. We ordered the Galaktoboureko which is a custard based dessert - not memorable. And ordered the Ekmek, which is a classic Greek dessert - the normally syrupy kataifi base (noodle like crisps) was not syrupy at all. But the creamy custard and airy whipped cream topping laced with nuts was really good. Not too sweet and just a light finish to the evening. Overall, the food was 'okay' ... it was very hit and miss based on the sampling we had this evening. It gets a higher rating on appearance and ambiance...the people watching and die hard locals are fans...I will skip. read more

I met my two people for a drink after dinner. This place used to be a firehouse. I met the current landlord who is a humble honest gentleman. Valet parking available, Google maps tells you to go to La Bottega right next door. All three bartenders go right up to you, look you in the eye, and ask whether you want anything. No need to chase after them. Super attentive, and very patient dealing with at times obnoxious and entitled patrons. I had no food, but the drinks were good. I understand that the character of the crowd changes after 11pm so will try to get a table and stay later next time. read more

Planning on coming on a Friday night with a college friend I haven't seen in a few years. We have so much to catch up on so we don't want loud music / party vibes. Is Friday night a good day ? I know Thursdays and Sundays are known for their parties
Friday is a good night to go, but go earlier if you don't want a crazy crowd.
