    Dinner date
    Brian M.

    Had a lovely time. We only came for apps and some drinks. We had the ice Tower. I wasn't a fan of the crab or muscles. But the oysters shrimp and lobster were great. The staff is very nice. The ambiance is great and well kept.

    Great views abs ambiance. Service is hit or miss. Some of the staff is great and some tend to disappear mid service, leaving you trying to flag down other wait staff or bussers to get something or even just the check. Sunset into dusk/night is best time. You get the full effect of the views. In terms of food. It wasn't bad at all, just nothing that was punch in the face kind of wow. The seafood seems fairly fresh and they make dishes to showcase the seafood. They have a few non-seafood items as well. Drinks look great. I wish the wine list by the glass was more extensive. Had enough options to pair well with food but more on the basic side. Likely would be back for other food items but may just enjoy food and drinks at the bar.

    Our group of 4 enjoyed a Friday night at Molo's. Ample parking can be found across the street in a lot at no charge. We were about 15 minutes early for our reservation, but they immediately welcomed us without hesitation and escorted us to our table with a stunning view of the Manhattan skyline. (TIP: Request a seat at the windows) The 2nd floor was closed, however my wife said the view was better upstairs. AMBIENCE: You can't go wrong with floor-to-ceiling windows and the NYC skyline as your backdrop. Tables were spaced well and even with a full dining room, we had great conversation without having to "Scream" at each other. Lighting was perfect as it wasn't too bright or too dim. SERVICE: Very fast, efficient and pleasant. Water glass was never empty. We sat for about 3 hours and never felt rushed or like they wanted us out. FOOD: Authentic Mediterranean experience. The Fried Feta (Photo) tasted like it was straight from Santorini. The Lobster Fettuccine (Photo) was very filling with huge pieces of lobster including both claws. Crabcake was very fresh. VALUE: Some other reviews say that it was overpriced and I can understand the feeling. However for fine dining on a waterfront, the pricing was as expected. Especially for seafood. We would absolutely return to Molo's!

    I love this place it's amazing food and service I recommend the view of the river looks amazing

    I had a fantastic dinner at Molos last night! Definitely sit outside when dining because the patio and view of the NYC skyline is spectacular. There's lots of lights to make the views even more special. The inside is just as beautiful. However, the patio is perfect! I would recommend booking an earlier dinner if you want to eat outside because it does become quite busy. There are so many great appetizer options on the menu. My friend and I tried the fried feta topped with pistachio and drizzled with honey. We also shared pita with eggplant dip. Both options were a big hit. You can't go wrong with fried feta! For dinner, we shared the Dover sole and Spanokorisotto. The Dover sole was marinated in lemon and butter. The potion sizes were decent, so you get your money's worth. The Spanokorisotto was a nice play on Spanokopita and risotto combined. We loved that! We finished our meal with dessert and really enjoyed the Galacktoboureko, which is a vanilla custard pie. The espresso martinis were delightful. If you're in the mood for Greek, check Molos out!

    for the View, 1/2 for the Food -- but Who's Counting When Manhattan is Glowing in Front of You? If you want dinner *with* Manhattan instead of *in* Manhattan, Molos is your spot. It's basically a giant glass box perched right on the Hudson, staring straight at the skyline like it's trying to flirt with it. I swear Icould practically see Times Square blinking back at me. We got there at 6 PM -- perfect timing to watch the sun set behind the city and make you briefly forget about New Jersey traffic and your $10 valet fee (because, of course, there's no parking -- beauty has its price).This was a special "welcome home" dinner for my son, back to Jersey after college and a few years of wandering the states. The mood? Proud dad. The view? Movie set. The crowd? Birthdays, anniversaries, date nights, and at least one guy nervously clutching a ring box (good luck, buddy). Now, the food. Let's just say it's like the skyline: looks great from afar, fine up close, but you're mostly here for the view. The menu calls itself Greek seafood, and sure, there's octopus, branzino, and calamari doing their best impression of Santorini. It's... fine. Not bad, not life-changing -- just "average in a nice way." Cocktails were good -- strong enough to make me forgive a few culinary sins and toast to the incredible setting. Service was polite, professional, and didn't rush us, which I appreciated. Would I go back? Absolutely. Not for the food, but to feel like I own a multimillion-dollar penthouse for the price of dinner and valet. Pro tip: go before sunset, order a drink, and pretend you're in a lifestyle commercial.

    I've been to Molo's a few times over the years. The food is pretty good (although a little overpriced) and you can't beat the beautiful NYC views. They have a great outdoor patio with plenty of seating and a large indoor dining room. My husband and I dined here for dinner a few weeks ago and the service was insanely slow (which was odd because the dinner rush had mostly cleared out). The tuna tartare appetizer and oysters were delicious, and our entrees were fine (I got the Dover sole and he ordered the lamb chops, nothing too memorable). It's a good spot for outdoor dining but not top of our list to return to anytime soon.

    Came by on a weekday for dinner without a reservation and was seated right away outside. Waiter was nice though the food and drinks both took quite the minute to come out. Food was good though I will say it's a bit on the pricey side. The lobster pasta was good though did hope for more than four pieces for the price. I will say those molos chips were great. Sea bass was good though there are bones so make sure to chew slow (rookie mistake on my end). The ambiance is the highlight with great views of the city. The outdoor area can be pretty windy though so something to keep in mind.

    Debbie S.

    SO delicious! The grilled octopus was the best I've EVER had! So tender and melt in your mouth while still having a little grilled crunch to it. Absolute heaven! We all loved every bite of what we ordered. 10 out of 10! Truffle fries were delicious, and do not miss dessert!

    This restaurant's view will take your breath away, from sunset into the night-- my parties wait-time for every part of the service was very long, so be prepared to spend hours here. Though our appetizers were satisfying, we found the oyster and mackerel risotto to be inedible - undefined risotto texture with no visible oysters and too much smoke and salt. The oysters had been infused into the risotto, we were told. Our group also ordered the lamb chops which were too salty. While mostly just main courses were lackluster, our truffle fries, lacked truffles. Even though our main courses were disappointing, the service was very responsive, the risotto was not on the check and we were given free dessert wine after voicing our complaints. We will be coming back for drinks and appetizers, and the view.

    If you want to impress a date, this would be a good location to take them. The nyc skyline view is absolutely beautiful and I can't imagine how it looks at night. Some of the best Greek salad I've ever had, everything tasted super fresh. I got lobster Mac and it was different. The drinks were excellent as well. the only thing that was off was the service, it was a delayed due to an event happening downstairs. maybe the place is under staffed when there is an event going on. Regardless, I enjoyed the views and the eats and would recommend going there at least once to try it out.

    Lovely

    The ambience here is always pleasant. Even in the colder months when they have the outdoor tent in place. As I mentioned, the martini was delicious. The lobster pasta was not what I expected. The waiter did explain that it was in a red cream sauce, but the fettuccine was a bit too al dente for me. The lobster was tender and plentiful, so no complaints there. The reason for three stars instead of five is because the waiter, Kalin, was so unpleasant. We sat there for 10 minutes before we were asked if we wanted the bottle of sparkling water you see in the photo. After dropping off the water, he took another 10 minutes to come back. He asked us what we would like to order but I had to prompt him to tell us about the specials for the day! It should be automatic, it is part of your job as a server. We watched him interact with other tables and his personality would always switch when coming back to ours. I did not have a chance to bring this to management's attention as I was thoroughly annoyed by the end of our meal. I will dine here again, and request not to be seated in his area !

    We have a reservation for NYE 2023 @ 8:15PM, are children allowed? We are planning on just having a nice dinner and are not planning on staying for a celebration or anything like that.

    Is the tzatziki portion that comes with veggie chips reasonable?

    Yes enough for two to three people

    When is the best time to call? It seems every time I call to modify a reservation no one is picking up, and a late cancel/no show fee will be charged $25/person. Seems oblivious when I can't cancel since no one is picking up and I can't do it online

    What's the dress code?

    Sunday brunch is more casual. But I would dress up for a date. Nice jeans or slacks.

    Are there many vegetarian/vegan options available? I see 1 or 2 salads possibly. Not sure if anyone has experience with this at Molos.

    Molos restaurant menu is largely based, on seafood but it does offer a couple of vegetarian options.

Their tzatziki is top notch, as well as the tavern chips (fried eggplant and zucchini). Personally, their falafel is not my favorite but I do know people who enjoy it. I haven't tried everything on the menu but I do know some things are better than others. Also, the service is usually pretty solid, too! Sometimes the younger workers can be a little confused when it comes to certain requests, but overall they are pretty accomodating. I wish this place was closer because I would order from here all the time!

The wrap was balanced, not greasy, and the falafel had that perfect crisp-to-fluff ratio. But what really stood out? The person behind the counter.

The restaurant has an interesting history. Even though the original opened in Cresskill, NJ, it unfortunately has permanently closed. However, not only is the Edgewater location amazing, but it had the guts to open during COVID (2022), survived, and is succeeding. The restaurant is beautiful inside and outside. Their decorations are tasteful, the presentation of the food is award winning, and the service is stellar. I started with a Mocha Cappuccino and it was so good. Served in a large mug, an airy/creamy top, and had the perfect amount of mocha happiness throughout. Before the meal even started, we were graciously given Za'atar (a popular Middle Eastern spice blend with an earthy, tangy, and nutty flavor, toasted sesame seeds, and sumac, with salt). It was crunchy, drizzled with oil, and I enjoyed how each thin pita bite made the spices explode all over the table. The entrees were: Strawberry French Toast. The next was the Falafel Platter (chickpeas and fava bean balls, served with tahini sauce, pickles, turnips, tomato, and mint). The last selection was the Avocado Toast (Citrus cured salmon over multigrain bread, tomatoes, onions, capers & citrus vinaigrette). Not only were all of these dishes beautifully presented, but all were filling, as well. My Avocado Toast kept me full for the rest of the day and the salmon was enjoyably salty, thin, and delicious. I noticed a dessert in their display case and ordered it. The dessert was the Riz Bil Ashta (Lebanese rice cream, infused with orange blossom water, blended with milk and cheese, and topped with crushed pistachios). This dessert tasted like a regal custard and the pistachios added an enjoyable texture that makes it recommended. Of course, I had to cap the meal with a Mocchiato. This amazing beverage followed the rest of the meal..... delicious, eyes closed good, and every sip was full-flavored. Thank you, Madison Café and Grill, for presenting a memorable meal and I wish you continued success.
