Excellent food, service and ambiance. Worth the trip up greenpoint. Good for groups, good for dates.

This restaurant was an absolute delight. The atmosphere had dim lighting and we sat at a nice table for two. There was a wine tasting going on behind us. The server was attentive and gave good suggestions on the menu as it was our first time. I started with a dirty martini with Greek olives stuffed with feta cheese. It was the best dirty martini I have had in a long time Everything that we ordered was absolutely delicious. The hummus was the best I have ever had. The lamb ragu was so flavorful and delicious. The Greek salad was so crisp and filling. The dessert was so rich, creamy, and satisfying. Cannot wait to make another reservation. read more

Nerina brings the best of Greece to Greenpoint Mind blowing food, a cozy atmosphere, unique craft cocktails, and a natural Greek wine list combine to make this mezze-style Greek restaurant a 15/10. Don't miss the cretan spiced scallops, the lobster orzotto, and the baby rack of lamb for a truly exceptional experience! Incredible staff and service!!! read more

Overall a nice spot. Food is solid and reasonably priced. Wine list leans Greek, as it should, and made for good dinner pairings. We followed recommended the 2 dishes per person and it was just right. All the shareable dishes were good, no complaints except maybe some of them were on the smaller side (especially the dips). The tartare was really good and the favorite. We ordered a full fish dish (not the branzino, maybe a snapper), and it was good but more meaty and less flavorful than expected. It's more of a user error - I would recommend the other fish for a more delicate option. Note that it does take a while longer for the fish to come out. We were close to finishing everything else before the fish came out. Setting is nice and I think they're really aiming for the Greece/Mediterranean vibe with chill/Mediterran house music. It did run loud and our fault for potentially not asking them to turn it a bit lower. read more

I was so excited to dine at Nerina since I just returned from Greece. This restaurant was formed from the team behind Nerai (Manhattan restaurant) and offers a modern take on Greek cuisine with a mezze style menu which is perfect for sharing. The grilled octopus was incredible and actually better than what I had in Santorini! I also loved the lobster risotto, which was rich and flavorful (I'm still thinking about it). The Greek wines really took me back to my trip, with their unique flavors that matched the dishes perfectly. I legit texted friends while I was eating here letting them know they have to come for the mezze and martinis. I'll definitely be back so I can experience this spot in the summer in their beautiful outdoor dining section. Shout out to our server Andres for giving us the best recommendations. Here's a list of everything we had: Cocktails: -kardamo: mezcal, cardamom syrup, ciociaro amaro -vromiko: olive-infused culch vodka, feta olives Mezze: -striped bass crudo -spicy feta w house made pita -Greek salad -grilled octopus -shrimp saganaki Larger Platter: -lobster orzotto Dessert: -bougatsa: semolina custard, phyllo, cinnamon sugar read more

Such a good spot. We loved the Lobster Risotto, and that Bougatsa was absolute perfection. Service was great and the decor was beautiful .

This is an amazing place. Great food and a top tier staff. Truly a local favorite. Pictured below: Kasseri scrambled eggs (with cheese), I added a side of bacon. And a kokkini mimosa. Cooked perfectly. I rounded it out with a Freddo espresso Martini. Hector was out server on this trip and like everyone else here.. fantastic. Don't take my word for it.. go.. or don't.. better for us locals... haha read more

Nerina - Freddo espresso martini- the bartender does this perfect! She's amazing on this and all of her drinks - A cocktail served in a coupe glass features a dark liquid base topped with a yellow foam layer. The drink is positioned on a wooden table, with a blurred background that includes a potted plant and some furniture, suggesting an indoor setting such as a bar or restaurant. - Greek Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Went here last night and thought the food was excellent! The gnocchi was a fun spin on traditional Greek potatoes and we loved the zucchini chips. The cocktails were also delicious. I do think the portions (including drink size) are very small for the price, so this won't be a go to but more a special occasion place for me. read more

This place is a gem. Beautiful, spacious and chill environment. Elias and the staff were very friendly and professional. They made many recommendations, and everything was spot on. We ate the greek salad, strapatsada, chicken souvlaki, and the halloumi appetizer. For drinks, we had a Greek Rose, Freddo Cappuccino and Freddo Espresso. Martini!

I will definitely be back. Congratulations to the ownership, chef and staff. read more

The food is exceptional, the service is superb, and the space itself is elegant and sensual. In the summer, they have a semi-enclosed outdoor space that is among the best in Greenpoint. read more

Nerina has amazing Greek food and desserts. Very tasty dishes and high quality food. The waiters and waitresses are great and helpful, and there is an outdoor deck and live music. There is lots of seating and great artwork. It really reminds me of Greece, and the deck seats are comfortable and there are lots of people to make friends there. Overall, Nerina is THE BEST Greek restaurant in the whole of New York. read more

This place was spectacular. The entire staff made me feel so welcome,. During my visit my table was served by Petro - he was so mindful and friendly. I really loved the Pita - it is made in house and so delicious. I loved everything we ordered - scallops, gnocchi, lamb and more!! I would deff recommend this spot to groups and couples. I went with a group of friends for a girl's night and we had some cocktails - mocktails for me! It was a great time and the menu offers something for everyone. read more

This place is fire. We went with another couple that's from the area. Apparently it hasn't been open that long but the server told us they have another place in Manhattan. Everything was great but the lobster orzo really stole the show. What do they put in the sauce? And cooked to perfection. Got the orzo just right, slightly al dente. And the lobster is just wow! Server was also really nice and he even gave us some kitchen tips! 6/5 will definitely make the trek out here to eat it again. read more

You won't find a dish that's just okay here - everything's good. The employees guide without making you feel awkward. Their food features creative combinations that surprise pleasantly. I received excellent personal attention and the restaurant sits in an ideal area. We're already discussing our next visit. read more

I fell in love with this restaurant the minute I set foot in the door. The space is so warm and inviting and the service felt so welcoming and also like they'd been open for years despite it actually being opening week. My friends and I started with house made pita and dips which were delicious and the Tuna Tartare and Greek Salad, which hit the spot. Got the Lobster Orzotto which I dreamt about after, it was an absolutely perfect dish, which I'll 100% come back for. The honey roasted carrots were a perfect side and for dessert we had their house made bougatsa (made with semolina custard, phyllo, cinnamon and sugar) which could feed a party of 5 easily - It was the perfect end to a perfect meal. read more

Wonderful neighborhood spot! Food was exceptional and the service was great. The highlight was the whole roasted chicken! Crispy skin, juicy meat. Mark my words, the next Greenpoint hotspot! read more

Every dish we tried was exceptional, wine selections and cocktails were incredibly good as well. Totally recommended, if you don't like loud places, just avoid going after 7pm on a weekend when the dj starts playing. read more

Had a 7pm reservation but didn't get sat for 25 minutes even though the place was empty. Took a while for the server to come over and get our order. By the time we finally ordered it took 40 minutes to get our drinks and we had to ask twice where our drinks were. We had finished our appetizers before our drinks even arrived. Then our server never came back after that to ask how things were, we never had an opportunity to even order more drinks or food. Never got more water. Such bad service all around. We ordered the octopus and it looks nothing like how's it promoted online, it was just served chopped up in a scoop as if it was from a buffet with a side scoop of onions. Spicy feta didn't taste like anything. Pita was nothing special. Halloumi was pretty good. Overall wouldn't go back. read more

Had dinner here last night and both the food and atmosphere are EXCELLENT! We sat in the patio section which felt like we were transported to a restaurant at a beach resort in Greece with all the decor. We had the Anthotiro cheese, Grape Arugula Salad, Cretan Spiced Scallops, Lobster Orzotto and the Baby Rack of Lamb and we were happy with every single dish! The service was great and the drinks strong! Will definitely be back! read more

Fantastic people, great service, everyone was inviting and incredibly warm. The duck pasta was out of the world. The zucchini chips were excellent. Cocktails were great. Beautiful interior, thoughtful about small details. Would like the bass tartare to be a bit thicker. Some small kinks to iron out but we had a great time and would go back. read more

Amazing food and service. Everyone is extremely kind. Beautiful indoor and outdoor seating. A must try.

What a wonderful experience. Excellent service, delicious food and beautiful ambiance. Our waiter helped us craft an amazing selection of dishes. Highly recommend the grilled halloumi, striped bass crudo, grilled octopus and lemon potato gnocchi. And be sure to save room for their special dessert, the bougatsa! We will be back for sure. read more
