    Lavraki- branzino
    Donesha T.

    This is a beautiful restaurant. There was clearly a lot of thought that went into the design. It is clear that the intention of the space is to be a Restaurant and transition into a lounge based on the seating. The staff were good. Food arrived in a timely manner Drinks were delicious I recommend the Eros dart if you like a spicy drink. Starters: grilled octopus, saganaki, and Portara ceviche. All were good but the ceviche could've been better. Branzino (lavraki) was delicious! I was also told the scallops and risotto- Htenia was tasty.

    Made reservations for 3 on a weekend for 5:30pm. Restaurant is very spacious, has good ambiance, it can get a bit dim. There is a photo spot right by the restrooms by the alcove. Honestly, photo spots are everywhere in the restaurant. For appetizers we ordered tartar: the chip was too thin to hold everything but it does not affect the taste of the dish. Ceviche: it was more than we expected and tastes really fresh. Octopus: it was just one tentacle, not a fan but one of my friend loved it. The texture was like chewy chicken breast. Hummus: it was good!! It would be nice if they warmed up the pita breads. We also got greek fries on the side. It was thick and good! For main dish, we ordered halibut and lamb chop. Halibut comes with fingerling potatoes and tomatoes. Lamb chops was three pieces and it comes with a half lemon with rosemary as a decor. As we were about to pay, we noticed that they already included tips in the bill. Make sure to check the bill before paying extra!

    Naxos Crisps & Horiatiki

    If you're looking for a beautiful dinner spot in Williamsburg, Naxos (right across the street from Fushimi) is definitely worth checking out -- just manage your expectations if you're going on a Thursday expecting a full-on "ladies night" vibe. We were under the impression that the place was fully booked because Resy showed no availability the day of. Turns out that wasn't the case -- I called and was able to snag a reservation pretty easily. When we arrived, there were a few tables celebrating birthdays and some date nights happening, but plenty of open tables as well. It wasn't dead silent, but it also wasn't the lively, packed energy we were anticipating. The music, however, was great -- a mix that matched the Greek and Latin fusion aesthetic perfectly. Let's start with the ambiance: absolutely beautiful. The space feels upscale yet warm -- soft lighting, earthy tones, elegant décor that makes it feel like you're dining somewhere along the Mediterranean coast. It's a stunning setting for a date night or celebration. Now for the food -- which truly delivered. We started with two rounds of the Ero's Dart cocktail. It's fruity upfront with a subtle spice that sneaks in at the end -- refreshing, slightly flirty, and easy to drink. That said, the drinks were served in what felt like half-filled glasses, which was disappointing considering they're $20 each. For that price point, you expect a fuller pour. For appetizers, we ordered the Naxos Crisps and the Horiatiki Salad. The Naxos Crisps were addicting -- thin, crispy slices layered with creamy spreads and bright Mediterranean flavors. The texture contrast was perfect: crunchy, creamy, and slightly tangy all at once. The Horiatiki Salad was incredibly fresh -- juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, briny olives, and thick slabs of feta that were rich and creamy without being overpowering. It was dressed simply but perfectly, letting the quality of the ingredients shine. For mains, the standout was the Stefado -- chef's kiss. The meat was unbelievably tender, literally falling off the bone, slow-braised to perfection in a deeply rich, aromatic sauce with warm spices and a subtle sweetness. It was comforting and flavorful without being heavy. You can tell it was cooked with patience and intention. We also ordered the Kotopoulo with a side of asparagus. The chicken was juicy with beautifully crisped skin and seasoned all the way through. It had that perfect balance of char and tenderness. The asparagus was cooked just right -- vibrant green, still slightly crisp, and lightly seasoned to complement the dish rather than overpower it. They didn't have the N.Y. Strip available that evening and were offering Wagyu instead, which was a noticeable swap. Not necessarily a bad thing, but something to keep in mind if you go in expecting specific cuts and price point. Service was truly one of the highlights of the night. Matthew and Ela were amazing -- attentive, kind, and knowledgeable about the menu. They made us feel taken care of without hovering. Just a heads up when reviewing your bill: there is an automatic 18% guest gratuity already included. You're absolutely welcome to tip more (which we felt Matthew and Ela deserved), but be mindful so you're not surprised. Also note that tips are shared among the staff and don't go directly to your specific waiter or waitress. Overall, it was a great experience. The food was flavorful and beautifully prepared, the ambiance was stunning, and the service was top-tier. We just wished the energy in the room matched the vibe the space deserves. If it had been a bit more lively, it would have been a perfect night. Still, definitely a spot worth trying in Williamsburg.

    Naxos offers a beautiful blend of Greek inspiration with a Latin twist in a space that feels modern, elevated, and thoughtfully designed. We started with the Thalassa salmon tiradito and oktapodi (octopus) both fresh and well-balanced. The Anra pita (lamb empanadas in puffy pastry with mojo verde) was rich and comforting, while the Htenia stood out with perfectly cooked sea scallops over creamy risotto and oyster mushrooms. For drinks, we tried Poseidon's Breeze and Theseus Escape. Both were flavorful, refreshing, and well-crafted, though on the lighter side alcohol wise. Great for sipping and enjoying the flavors, but don't expect to leave with a buzz. Dessert ended on a lovely note with the pistachio tres leches, a delicious and creative twist on the classic.

    The aesthetic matches the taste here as both are amazing. The service was exceptional. I left here full and satisfied and would definitely come back.

    due to lack of reviews on tik tok & yelp, my best friend & i took it upon ourselves to check out this new spot. upon entering the establishment you are transported to a greek oasis. everything is sleek, stunning & well thought out. we had a reservation set for 5pm which my friend booked through the resy app. due to their newness, i believe it is pretty easy to snag something. however, i feel like during the warmer months it may be a little harder as the place gains popularity. we were greeted by the host and offered a coat check which we declined but it's nice to know that's an option. we were led to our table and my friend mentioned the seating was extremely comfortable. someone came by and asked if we wanted tap, still or sparkling water and we opted for a bottle of still. for drinks, we opted for the theseus escape & posideon's breeze. theseus escape was like a deconstructed piña colada. my only critique here is that the ice cube was rather big so I felt like the drink was finished rather quickly. i tasted my friend's drink, and i would describe it as a boozy, fizzy lemonade. for the appetizers we ordered the spanakopita & calamari. very tasty, hot (in heat) and flavorful. the sauce the spanakopita came with was divine. if possible, i'd order it on the side to go with an entree. the calamari was very crispy. we split an entree of the chicken on top of lemony potatoes. the dish was juicy & i'm hesitant to get chicken certain places because sometimes it's dry and underwhelming. not the case here at all though, it was spectacular. definitely check this spot out for a girls night out or a date night.

    This place opened around two months ago so it's still fairly new. The service was top notch and the food was great too. They even had belly dancers perform and they went around the entire restaurant being interactive with the diners. They had coat check at the front too. When we arrived around 8pm, the belly dancers greeted us. What you see from the outside is totally different from what you'll see in the inside. It has a very spacious interior and it felt like you were transported to Greece.

    Hummus, calamari and eggplant chips with yogurt.

    Ambiance was pretty very Greece kind of vibe. Went there on a date and it was very cozy/ chic. We had a few appetizers to start out. The service was ok it might have been a slow night. I thought the belly dancers would be there but apparently they don't do it anymore. I definitely would go back maybe during the weekend for a more vibrant experience.

    Arni-pita
    Aditya S.

    Naxos is an upscale sophisticated new restaurant in Williamsburg that blends Greek cuisine with Latin flair. The Cycladic island inspired interior features plush white hues, curved booths and arches, stunning orb light fixtures and greenery, and a moody dim glow. Service is refined and attentive. The cocktails were fresh and citrusy but low on alcohol. Poseidon's Breeze featured a basil strawberry mix while Theseus Escape featured clarified coconut cream and fresh pineapple. The appetizers were gourmet. The Oktapodi was plated with panache using a roasted pepper fava mousse. The Arni-Pita was a perfectly puffed roasted lamb empanada presented over mojo verde. The Thalassa Salmon Tiradito was a refreshing rolled salmon filled with cucumber, passionfruit, and avocado. The main courses we had including the scallops and short ribs were underwhelming in comparison to the stunning apps. The pistachio tres leches was a light delectable dessert.

    We came here to celebrate a birthday and alerted them so. We had to pivot plans last minute due to a flight delay and walked in pretty easily. This place had caught my eye because it was new, and I saw their name in restaurant week. When I got there, I asked about it. Not doing restaurant week as advertised, bcuz they said theyre new and they changed their minds about participating-- ok weird but fine whatever since we are already here and it's getting late; we order from regular menu. but I ordered the fish ceviche and it was kinda small and literally had frozen pieces of fish in it. Do not recommend at all; the leche de tigre sauce that it came with also didnt have any flavor. The mixed ceviche tasted way better and was not frozen though so I'm not sure whats happening there in the kitchen. We also had the lamb empanadas which were ok, nothing special. We also had the calamari, which ended up being my favorite thing there-- it wasnt overcooked and it was crispy with good breading. We also had some lamb chops and they were also just ok. They werent the best I've ever had, and they werent overcooked or anything that negative, but they werent completely flavorful either- just middle of the road. But it was a good portion size. We had that with a side order of ordinary steak fries that definitely lacked salt or any flavor. Overall nothing I ate here warranted another visit, and it was just another place that is more for the aesthetic than anything else. Service was slow even though it was not busy. I had my water refilled once only during dessert. My other party had ordered cocktails and they didn't have any strong feelings about their drinks, except that the passion fruit one was pretty sour. When we ordered a dessert- baklava- they did not do anything special at all for the birthday, even though we told them about it before we were seated. On top of that, they never asked about allergies and the dessert came with blueberries which the birthday girl was allergic to. She couldnt even enjoy it, and tried to have a strawberry but it tasted weird-- she said it tasted like they didnt wash& store it right, and it tasted like "feet". I did not want to try it out too to verify. disappointing and a little embarrassed honestly that I wanted to try this new place for a birthday and we had frozen / mid food, lack luster service, and seemingly nothing went right or stood out in a good way.

    WOW. My first time(not my last time). this place is stunning. The furnishings are well thought out. Very Spacious. The bathroom is beautiful, it even has quality hand soap. The attention to details are great.I had the MOST AMAZING time here. The service was TOP TIER. I was there last night Friday night. I can't wait to try some more AMAZING good. I even had to tell the manager how amazing everything was. This is a MUST go to restaurant.

    For starters the restaurant is absolutely stunning! The food tasted amazing, the mocktails were very fruity which had me wanting more. Service was great and the wait time was pretty good.

This time I had the mushroom and onion hummus, which was a little watery and only came with one small piece of pita for a large bowl. I also got the fries, which are still actually pretty good. The reason for the steep downgrade aside from the dwindling food quality and the so-so drinks, is the service this time was just ATROCIOUS. Bushwick service has gotten kinda cruddy overall these days because so many places have this transplant hipster vibe where they just can't be bothered, but this guy acted annoyed and put out to even be there. It was not great last time, but this time was astonishingly bad. He took my order and as soon as my food came out, he disappeared behind a screen and didn't come back out unless someone came in the door (which was only a couple times). Never checked on me. Never asked if I wanted another drink (my mint julep was awful, so moot point I guess). I had to wait for him to emerge when a to go order came in for me to flag him down for the check. Probably the last time I come back here.

    Restaurant was decorated and music was kinda loud so it was hard to hear someone across from me…read more They later dimmed the lights and had candles which was nice. Staff were nice and attentive. The hummus and falafel plate was good. I really liked the rice and veggies - the flavors paired well. Maybe too much hummus for the portion ratio? Decent price for what you're getting, maybe $40 including tax/tip(?) for two of these plates.

Looovveee how soft the pollo empanada is... it's so dang fluffy. That was my first time having an empanada with that kind of dough. I have to say that I prefer it. Wish Filipinos used that dough when we make our empanadas. lol. The pollo arepa was everything!!! I had never had an arepa until the day I had one here. The meat was seasoned so nicely in their tomato based sauce. And the actual arepa... soft yet had a bit of a crunch. It was the perfect textures for me. I also enjoyed their soursop juice. It paired perfectly with my meal. My friend got the pernil arepa and was impressed by the taste and the green sauce. I didn't get much information out of him other than it was hitting the spot lol. Definitely a solid place to go in the area. It's kind of medium sized in there but there is plenty of seating if you're with a party no bigger than 3 or 4 people. I think most people come in here for a grab and go situation. But it's cool to hang around to watch the kitchen at work and hear the music.

It's also a very bright, open, warm, and welcoming space within. Service was prompt and efficient, if not a tad bit curt...although I give them grace...considering the fact we were visiting late at night around 2am. Anyways...if it was THAT good when we went in the middle of the night...I feel I can confidently recommend this spot as great for grabbing pizza slices. It's definitely worth a visit, in my book!
