Great place to eat. Trendy. Great food. Service was excellent. Will return to dine here.

Was kind of torn between giving this place 3 stars and 4 stars. The decor is exceptional, and gives a Grecian/urban vibe which i really dig. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, however, the food is less than stellar. The menu is somewhat limited, I had a really strong craving for Dolmades and that wasn't even a thing on the menu. We ordered the grilled octopus appetizer which had more onions than octopus, Greek salad (which was probably the best thing we ordered), and the swordfish kebab platter along with fries. The swordfish was a bit dry and not flavorful, as was the grilled octopus. Not sure if i ordered the wrong thing here, but wasn't completely thrilled with the food. Might come back here again to try something new. read more

Kyma is one of my favorite spot in Nassau. They have really good Greek Mediterrannean food and good ambience. Their zucchini eggplant chips must have. I admire the person's patience's who stack them each chips one by one. Their octopus salad is the best in the town. Last night was first time that I tried cheesecake with sour cherry jam surprisingly. It was better than I expected. Highly recommended. read more

This place has been on my list of restaurants in Long Island to try and I regret not getting here faster. We had appetizers entrees and dessert. Everything was awesome. Greek food has never won me over food till Kyma. read more

Lively, bright, and friendly atmosphere during lunch hours. I enjoyed the restraunt week menu there with mediocre spinach triangles, good octopus, and a great salmon burger. The food was a little inconsistent but for a $21 deal it was so worth it. The seating was a little too close to other tables in my opinion but was manageable. The servers and the host were very friendly and helpful. read more

Place needs some update. The sofa seats are dirty and disgusting. When you look at the ceiling, simple places have leak mark. Stay away from the grill octopus is not good and not fresh. Also the fresh oysters, they will serve ones that pretty much have nothing inside. read more

While I've visited Kyma several times for lunch I've never before swung by for dinner. That is until last night. A few friends decided on a relatively low-key NYE celebration and one of them suggested Kyma. The staff was amazing as in incredibly amazing. Service was first rate. This was unexpected considering the place was mobbed. Note to other restaurants that use their popularity as an excuse to deliver poor service. All of the appetizers were served family-style and included a Greek spread sampler; octopus with shallots; zucchini and eggplant fritters; and, prawns. All were amazing. Kyma offered an unusually large selection of entrees for a NYE bash. Most places typically offer four options of either a fish, chicken, red meat and a pasta dish. Kyma offered all that plus: tiger prawns, lobster; and several others delicious sounding items that I can't recollect. I managed to sample everything except the lobster. Everything--and I mean everything--was delicious. Desserts were plentiful and delicious too. Besides the food, Kyma has a very respectable wine list. We quickly consumed a bottle of 2010 Chateau Roget Pomerol followed by a second bottle at a much slower pace. The mark-up was very reasonable on this particular wine but I noticed some other better-known wines were marked-up more aggressively (Groth, Caymus, Tignanello and others). The highest compliment that our party of ten could collectively pay Kyma is that we can't wait to return for dinner! read more

Went here for a couples dinner last Friday. One of the beat dining experiences I've had. Food was amazing. Waiter was very helpful with the menu and specials. Cocktails were great. Did not feel rushed. Wonderful experience overall. Also the best octopus I have ever eaten. Definitely will return. read more

Met a friend for 5pm dinner on a Fri. Kyma has Valet parking & 2 outdoor eating areas, a patio & a tent but we ate indoors. Beautiful decor (patio as well). Our waiter was very attentive & explained items & answered our questions as well as helping to make recommendations when I couldn't decide what to have for dessert. Very helpful. My cocktail was the Bees Knees which was excellent (gin, honey & fruit juice) & I had the bronzini for an entree, another slam dunk! For dessert, the marscapone cheesecake was the perfect choice! Will definitely be returning! 1 suggestion-although understandable that menu was accessible via QR code, some may prefer & need a larger print paper menu. read more

Best Mediterranean food I have had on Long Island, and I have tried it all! First, let me say that the ambiance of the outdoor seating is gorgeous! Very much a Hamptons vibe with all-white seating and flowers draped everywhere. I also like the evil eye details holding the curtains back (nice touch). The menu has a nice variety, immediately what stuck out to me was the Sesame Crusted Feta with caramelized figs and raspberry sauce, and it did not disappoint. The other apps we ordered included the veggie chips, which were lite and crisp with a creamy fresh dipping sauce, oysters which were big and fresh, crab-cake again, very lite and crispy but kind of a small portion, and the giant pawns which were grilled to perfections and the spanikopida which was the best I have had so flakey and delicious. For mains, I had the chicken kabob it leek rice - the chicken was grilled perfectly - the Seafood Linguini which was loaded with seafood and flavor and the lamb chops which were again cooked to perfection. What stuck out the most to me during this meal was how fresh and lite yet flavorful all the dishes were. I also sampled the Moussaka, which I have never had before but was incredible; again looks like a heavy dish, but super lite and flavorful I noticed hints of cinnamon too that I enjoyed. For dessert the baklava, Greek yogurt, and pistachio cake all amazing. Can't wait to come back and try more :) read more

Amazing in every way. From the ambiance to the staff to the food. Everything was perfect. Few times do I go to a restaurant and really enjoy every single thing that's ordered on the table, today was that day. We ordered the kyma chips (best tzatziki EVER), spanakopita (TO DIE FOR), the arugula salad with chicken (YUMSVILLE), and kotopoulo(mouthwatering). Did I mention it was our anniversary? Immediately our server, Christopher, brought us champagne! Oh and dessert! We got ekmek Kataifi with the words 'happy anniversary' written on the plate. Truly, a wonderful experience. We will be back, with friends, and emptier stomachs. Cheers. read more

Delicious drinks and good food! Had the grilled chicken with rice and it was juicy and tender. The eggplant chips are good as well

Loved this place! I've been here twice now and both experiences were great.. This gorgeous place offers some really delicious Mediterranean style food and a sexy ambience that you can really appreciate.. Ordered the kyma chips which were crispy, perfectly fried zucchini chips accompanied by tzatzki sauce.. Def get them as they're perfect for sharing and a nice way to start your meal... The octopus was amazing, nice and tender just as it should. Saw a lot of people ordering both of those plates... Split the branzino into two.. Ugh so good! Reminded me of the branzino filet from esca in NYC which I absolutely love... It was well seasoned with oil, oregano, deboned (no head and tail per request), capers and lemon... Yes. I'm sure all of their fish dishes are worth it... So this place gets turnt as the night progresses... Very good looking people looking to have a good time and grab some dranks.. Single ladies if you're looking for a good time come here ! It was a nice change of scenery for me and the food is great, I'll be coming back.. Valet parking + read more

I don't know why this restaurant is so highly rated. It's really not that impressive. Service was mediocre. There was definitely a difference between a first-time customer and if you know someone. The contrast was just too large for my liking. We were seated by the kitchen and although there was always someone walking by, it was hard to catch someone's eye to ask a question or get a water refill. Unprofessional. Food was less than mediocre. For the price, it was actually pretty atrocious. The only thing of note is that portions are rather large. That would be okay if the quality was high as well. But it really wasn't. Offsetting quality with quantity is seriously scammy. Eggplant and zucchini chips - first bite was pretty good. But as you eat your way through the tower, it just gets saltier and greasier. Yuck. Also, it didn't seem like they were made fresh. I think they're pre-made and kept heated, then stacked. So freaking greasy. Octopus appetizer - this was probably the best dish of the night, though slightly overdressed. Combination of onion, capers, and olive oil was nice. Lamb shank - ugh, this was so disappointing. Granted, the meat is cooked thoroughly and does fall off the bone. But the entire dish lacks in flavor. It's basically a piece of lamb shank swimming in orzo with some tomato sauce and scallions. Not very flavorful or inventive. Whole fish - overcooked, lacks flavor. Accompanying cous cous was overseasoned. Seafood linguini - better get this at an Italian place... PS: In the presence of our server, I mentioned that it was my mom's birthday, and at the end of the meal, NOTHING. Whatever, I'm so over this place. read more

I wanted to try Kyma for quite some time and finally had the chance to have dinner there last night. Loved the casual luxe decor and lively mood of the place right away. Service was professional and friendly. Started off with lychee and pomegranate martinis. Well chilled and served straight up in large glasses. (Nothing irks me more than pricey small drinks with too much ice, not a problem at Kyma!) Shared 2 apps, first one Kyma chips, a vertical stack of lightly fried zucchini set off by a cup of tangy tzaziki. Octopus app was tender and luscious, charcoal broiled and dotted with colorful veggies. Not an easy dish to get right but Kyma's was perfect. I chose shrimp saganaki as a main, huge shrimp swimming in a fragrant tomato sauce with feta. Hubbie had the lamb chops which were charcoal grilled to perfection. Mains come with a side dish each, I got rice pilaf which was fluffy and light. Hub's fries were crispy, plentiful and lightly spiced. We were stuffed by then so opted to pack up some of our food to save room for dessert. Our server Clifford recommended the cheesecake with sour cherries, a special that night, and boy did he hit the mark! A large slice of creamy yumminess to share, not too sweet and heavenly. Small cups of sweet potent Greek coffee ended the wonderful evening. read more

Let's cut to the chase: Do Order: - grilled octopus - fried zucchini chips (I don't even like zucchini and I love this appetizer) - fried Cod - Sole - organic chicken - pretty much any whole fish Avoid: - Sirloin (Tried it twice and both times were disappointing) - sesame fried cheese (it's their special) - baklava (way too sweet for my taste) Not so consistent: - fried calamari (once it was fantastic, last night was just alright) - Greek Salad (fresh but nothing special IMHO) In general the food is fresh and well prepared. A few misses (I.e. Grilled Sirloin), but overall excellent food. Their service deserves special mention as it was impeccable. Well trained and attentive staff made the evening quite pleasant...even on an incredibly busy Easter evening. read more

Went there last night . The worst service in the history of Resturant's . Waiter was a tool. Too bad food was very good .

Been a long time but I had a good allergy there once after telling them the one item to which I had a life threatening allergy, so my allergist asked for the ingredients of what I ate - they refused to give it to me. Presumably they served me what I told them I was allergic to. read more

I have been to Kyma 5 or more times and it just never seems to go without some sort of hitch, despite many excellent meals. On our last visit they kept us waiting nearly 40 minutes to be seated, and it was really more about how they managed the process. I do not like being told it will only be a few minutes over and over again. Once they seated us they could not have been nicer. My go to entree has always been the excellent swordfish kebabs. On Friday I tried a special, the Sesame Crusted Tuna. This is becoming a common offering at many good restaurants and I have had it at many, but Kyma set the new best. It was excellent. A perfect combination of favors. Another regular for us is the always dependable zucchini chips and also the tomato salad, which is so large it should be shared. They have an active bar scene and a cozy lounge. Their white sangria is another favorite, as is the pineapple infused vodka. I will keep going for the food and hope there are no glitches. If that happens I will upgrade to 4 or 5 stars. read more

5 stars for food and 10 stars for service. Everyone was beyond nice, wait staff very attentive (despite being very busy), and food absolutely delicious. We started off with the tuna tartare special- delicious and presented very well. The chips really added to the dish surprisingly, avocado layered perfectly. The sesame feta and halloumi cheese were very tasty. I liked the sesame feta a tad more bc of the candied figs...I liked the sweet and salty combo. We had the lavraki which was out of this world- well cooked, fresh, tender, seasoned well including the capers. Also had the shrimp saganaki which was so flavorful- with and without the rice. Shrimp was tender and moist. We ended up having a variety of desserts including the molten cake, and Greek cookies- all wonderful. Drinks were well done...no signature drinks but amazing cocktails. read more

For the luxury price, you're not getting a lot. The fish was bland and super salty with extraordinary amount of capers. The calamari was over fried and the best part was the spinach pie! read more

A friend and I had drinks and appetizers here last Friday night, since this restaurant is relatively new to the area and we've heard nothing but praise for it. We requested a 4-person table tucked in the corner of the generous outdoor seating area, despite us only being a party of two. Since it wasn't particularly busy at 8pm, they happily let us take it. The atmosphere is what really makes it: comfortable couches, romantic candles, tiki torches, and soft indie music playing in the background. The crowd mostly consists of wealthy, older, Long Island patrons. The waitress was a bit slow, but the maitre d' was very friendly and attentive - especially after mentioning I was on Yelp and it was our first time at Kyma. The bread basket has some good pita and hummus. I also think their white sangria is fantastic; you can really taste the brandy and pear flavors. We ordered the tuna tartare, grilled octopus, and lump crab cake. I couldn't be more pleased with how everything tasted!!! The avocado and tuna was very fresh, the octopus was perfectly seasoned, and the crab cake wasn't greasy. For dessert, we decided on their baklava. When it came out, they also gave us a slice of cake on the house. I am quite impressed, and definitely returning sometime in the next few weeks! read more

Upon walking in, you are time warped to a sun-drenched island in Greece. Beautifully decorated with white chairs/tables. The intimate place settings and comfortable cushion seating make you feel right at home. The most basic ingredient of Greek cuisine is EVOO and it truly shines though in the classic, yet simple dishes that Kyma has to offer. Must trys: 1. Octopus - freshly, grilled cut up pieces mixed with red onions topped with evoo and dill 2. Tsipoura (whole fish) - ask for it deboned, this light flakey fish topped with capers is sure to satisfying your seafood cravings 3. Couscous - who knew something as simple as pearle couscous could pack such a flavorful punch 4. Lemon potatoes - cooked to perfection, so soft that it breaks right in half The valet parking and complimentary hummus and pita bread are added bonuses read more

Oh gosh, this place has gone downhill. I had been a number of times when it first opened- even celebrating a birthday there. I found the management and staff when it first opened were exceptional. One time I was there, and my friend fainted. The management's response was warm, timely, and made me feel that they truly cared about each of their patrons. I couldn't say enough for how we were treated on that occasion and the others. It was a place I recommended to others. Top notch. Now? Not so much. In fact, it seems the host (Giancarlo) operates a Titanic-style class system. Regulars and people who are "somebody"= first class. Normal people with enough money to eat here=steerage. What makes me say this? We arrived around 7 on a Sunday evening. We barely got a greeting. "Reservation?" "No." (Long pause). "It looks like I can fit you in. Have a seat at the bar, and I'll come get you in 20 mins." No problem. We have a seat at the bar. The bartender is terrific. Not super phony friendly, but good. Indeed, Giancarlo came to get us about 35 minutes later. "I have a table for you. Once you settle up at the bar, come get me." Really? In the years I've been dining (longer than Giancarlo has been alive) I have never had a host advise me to "settle up" and "come get him/her" for my table. This system (if it is common practice for all guests--not just those in steerage) is horrible. You see, you get to go back to the host desk, fight off glares and comments from the angry villagers who think you are somehow usurping their position in the quest for a table. It was a lot of fun to be simultaneously ignored by Giancarlo and stared down by the angry villagers. Finally, we were led to our table-located in the very section of the bar where we were waiting. Our server, while nice enough, was less than attentive. I do think it is possible that he had too many tables in too many sections. He took our orders, but drink glasses were left empty. We watched as Giancarlo fawned over the couple next to us. He seemed to supplement our waiter's service-- grabbing them drinks and appetizers etc. We were ignored save for the one time a manager (an older, dark haired gentleman in a suit) passed by and saw our empty drinks. I wish I had gotten his name. He took our empty glasses and put in our order. I was impressed by that as it was not his job to do so. Our food was brought out piping hot. It's a shame the food is so delicious. From the Kyma chips to the moussaka, I enjoyed everything. This is where Kyma shines. We ordered dessert to go (the yogurt). Everything was packed meticulously. I can't say enough. We waited too long for our check to be taken, but again our waiter was overwhelmed. On our way out, my mother (who is much nicer than I am) said goodnight to Giancarlo and thanked him for getting us a table. He completely ignored her. Seriously. I think that is really a bad job. Good hosts make all guests feel like regulars or at the very least, feel welcomed. I've dined at a number of establishments. I've never been treated so poorly. I think this is one of those cases of ego run amuck. Kyma has the potential to be a great restaurant. It's a shame. read more

Can't pass on the Kyla chips. I need to develop a biggie appetite though as the appetizers alone made me pretty full. Grilled Octopus was very nice but the yellowtail tar tar while large, lacked contrasting flavors and therefore came across quite bland. You need to avoid the tables by the entrance or the kitchen as waiters and patrons will inevitably bump into you or kick your chair. Seemed to have a little bit of a bar scene but food was the focus. Staff were very accommodating but the kicks to my chair legs numbered over the dozen as the night wore on and people were rushing by. read more

I've been to Kyma a couple of times and I highly recommend it. The first time I dined there it was in the summer and we sat outside. That time we enjoyed drinks and apps ( I especially enjoyed the octopus) as it was the middle of the afternoon. The second time dining here was for lunch and sat in the dining room. I had the lunch prixe fixe in which I started with the Greek Salad which was very tasty followed by chicken. Both times our servers were attentive and we never felt rushed. I'll be returning and recommend trying Kyma read more

This restaurant is so LOUD! We had to leave because my aunts hearing aids were going off the charts and amplifying the already very loud noise. The menu looked interesting though, but $$$. Also we were seated near the door and so cold when anyone opened the door. We ended up at besito. Quieter, warmer. read more

Love this place! Music on Thursdays is always amazing, food is fresh and delicious and ambiance is always pumping

Eighteen members of our dining group dined at Kyma on Friday, 9/11. The place was noisy, too dark(does PSEG double bill in Roslyn?) and packed with a too beautiful and affluent crowd. Patrons had to be in the latter category because the prices here are kind of ridiculous.Anyway, we were seated in three groups of six after some needless controversy about whether they were able to honor our group's reservation which was made on Open Table a month prior. Hint.....if you do not overbook perhaps you can honor reservations! Despite the foregoing, the staff handled our reservation issue in a friendly and professional manner. On to the food......it was exceptional and I give Kyma a 5 out of 5 for food and presentation. The server at our table was attentive and efficient too.My tablemates enjoyed grilled octopus, watermelon salad, Greek Egg Lemon Soup, the crabcake, stuffed calimari, grilled red snapper and moussaka. I enjoyed the spreads with hot and fresh bread and the griiled whole pompano. They were terrific!!!! Long Island restaurants would benefit greatly by emulating Kyma and cooking whole fished instead of relying upon insipid farmed salmon and branzino like most restaurants on Long Island do.My companions also liked the baklava. Despite the good experience enjoyed at my table, others among the eighteen diners criticized the food and service and I must take their opinions into account in my rating. Therefore, Kyma is far from perfect because of the reasons cited in the last two paragraphs but it is a place that I will definitely return to, especially for their fresh, tasty and spectacular whole fish dishes. read more

Delicious for a business lunch or a fancy dinner. Very fresh seafood. We had the crab cakes, octopus (so delicious), and the whole fish. I wasn't a huge fan of the walnut cake we had for desert. Great service and great food. But do expect your bill to be very expensive! read more

Excellent food. The Kyma chips are a must! The calamari, the sesame feta and the shrimp were all amazing. The appetizers overall were all great. I had the lamb chops and they were cooked perfectly.

I'm allergic to seafood. I know this is a seafood restaurant who also serves chicken and beef. Because of my allergy we visited the restaurant the day before to make sure I could eat there. I asked about the steak and they assured me that I could have steak on the grill, that they use half for fish and the other half for beef I definitely wouldn't have any problem. We went the next day for my husband's birthday. I asked about the steak and was told it would have to be broiled, I had it and was and was very disappointed, also for the price, if I would have known from the beginning I would have picked another restaurant. read more

Place is perpetually going downhill. Food is overly salty. Service is truly awful. With the understanding that this place basically prints money Bc of the "scene" (or lack thereof in my opinion) they truly act like they don't care about customers returning.

Great food, service, menu and reasonable prices! Get the cheese appetizers and the Kyma chips!

Must go! Great service. I started with a Kymatini and it was refreshing with a citrus twist. A must have is the stuffed calamari you will not regret this. If you aren't that much into seafood the lamb chops were outstanding and not as big as I thought I'd would be so I appreciate that as well. Will definitely come back to try the brunch! read more

Went to Kyma in the city and it was one of the best dishes I've had so we went for our anniversary last night in Roslyn and it was far from it. Service was horrible we only saw our waiter two times.. for order and check. The zucchini tower was the only good thing which gave it two stars. But the rest was bland and nothing special. Really a bummer. We spent the dinner looking for our waiter rather than enjoying our anniversary. read more
