Pappas lived up to its ig hype. "Absolutely loved the dinner party! The amazing vibe and definite party atmosphere, coupled with excellent bottle service, made it an unforgettable night. Highly recommend!" Walking in you feel that Santorini vibe. The staff was also very Thoughtful sitting us since two of us in the party had broad shoulders and moved us to a more spacious table. We ordered everything on the starters section and it was plentiful. Sebastian our waiter was excellent and excelled our expectations making sure we had everything we needed for the event. Photos are posted up on my ig. Follow them and their gram they are accurate. read more

Honestly for the money you pay you would think that the service would be top notch .... Wrong takes forever to get a waiter and another 1hr to get a drink and let's. It talk about the food is mediocre was not even hot Pappas was not it overpriced overhyped read more

Great live experience. Service was very quick. Drinks were a bit light. Perfect for large parties and birthday celebrations. If you aren't into a lot of music while you eat, this isn't the replace for you. read more

Cocktails: * Chios margarita ($19) * Santorini sidecar ($19) Food: * Tuna tartare ($24) * Grilled octopus ($28) * Lamb shank youvetsi ($49) * Lobster pasta ($52) * Baklava ($14) * Galaktoboureko ($14) ((disclaimer: got invited for a tasting)) The portion is huge - even the tuna tartare, which is honestly pretty surprising to me. Fav dish: grilled octopus Least fav dish: lobster pasta - I ordered this because it's really popular on social media / review platforms but unfortunately it's pretty bland to me. HOWEVER they are really generous with the pasta portion (it's also fresh pasta) and the lobster was huge and fresh too. This will be a good spot for a party if you're thinking of organizing a fun boozy one. read more

Food was amazing and fun environment. The service was great. Looking forward to going again!

If I could give zero stars I would. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The disrespect my party and I experienced was beyond unacceptable, and there were clear signs of discriminatory treatment -- we did not receive the same level of service or courtesy as other guests who didn't look like us. We brought our own cake, just like another party nearby. When it was time to bring it out, ours had only one sparkler -- the one we provided -- and we were told there were no more. Minutes later, another party had their cake brought out with multiple sparklers and a huge birthday sign. When we asked about cutting our cake, we were handed utensils and told to do it ourselves. Meanwhile, the other party's cake was taken to the back, cut by staff, and brought back out nicely plated. When we asked why we were treated differently, our server tried to convince us the other party had donuts, even though multiple people at our table clearly saw them walk by with a full cake and later return with plated slices. We also asked for the box we brought the cake in, only to be told it was "ripped" and thrown out. After waiting 20 minutes, they came back with that same box -- pulled from the trash -- and expected us to use it. Eventually, they gave us a random bag from another bakery (still had someone else's info stuck to it), which also looked like it came from the trash. To top it off, the food was bland and overpriced. 0/10. Never again. read more

If you have the travel bug but need a quick fix, head downtown to Pappas where you'll feel like you've been transported to Greece. Traditional spreads are divine. Octopus is always delicious. Order the lobster pasta and lamb chops for sure. Traditional baklava for dessert was incredible. And you can't leave without trying the margarita! read more

A super fun place for a celebration or a night out! The restaurant turns into a party/ club later in the night and people are up dancing, drinking, and enjoying amazing food. The service is a tad slow just because there's so much going on at once and you have to constantly remind your server for items you ordered. The food was great and it's perfect to share family style among a larger group. (5/5) Greek Spreads: The spreads came with hummus, tzatziki, and whipped feta. My favorite was the tzatziki it was perfectly creamy but also spicy which I've never had before! The pita was perfectly fluffy but also crisp around the edges and the dish came with plenty of pita. (4/5) Tuna Tartare: A refreshing appetizer with super fresh tuna. It's served over some sort of cream (which wasn't my favorite because it overpowered a lot of the flavors) and little crisps to eat with. (3/5) Calamari: The calamari was ok at best. It wasn't anything too special and it's just your average calamari that has a heavy batter. (5/5) Lamb Shank Youvetsi: This was AMAZING!! Definitely my favorite dish throughout the entire night. The lamb shank was cooked to perfection and falling off the bone and I loved how they included the vegetables that are braised with the meat. It's perfect to share with 2 or even 3 people because it's a huge serving. read more

This was truly the most horrific restaurant experience I've EVER had I'm in shock this place hasn't been shut down by the health dept yet, we spent FIVE miserable hours here. Quick highlight of the worst parts of all: - We were sat at 9:45 for a 9pm res despite all 8 people arriving by 9:15 and even though the woman who made the reservation had called at 7pm that day to confirm the prefix menu she had set up they acted like they had no idea it existed and tried to upsell us into the regular menu - throughout the meal every single time we needed something, even just tap water, not only did we have to flag someone down we had to physically get up and go to the bar and tell one of the bartenders to send someone over because a server or bus boy never once came over to our table on their own accord - everything was filthy, we were giving dirty glasses, plates, and silverware multiple times throughout the meal and again since they don't come over we had to physically get up and go bring them to the bar and make them change them out and usually the next set of what they brought was also dirty, they never apologized for any of the dirty things and multiple times tried to gaslight us into saying they weren't dirty even tho you would see the lipstick marks and food residue on them - we ordered 3 bottles of Greek white wine from their menu, the woman who ordered them literally POINTED to the one she wanted and then they poured us Josh California Chardonnay. When I went up to the bar with the bottle and said what the is this it's not what we ordered they deadass looked me in the eye and said "the whole wine menu is fake and that's the only white wine we have" and I said "well then you have to tell people that when they order you can't just bring it over and pour it do you understand how insane it is to order a Greek organic assyrtiko blend and be given Josh California Chardonnay?? How much does this bottle cost it better be like $30 because we ordered $75 bottles of nice wine" and they had the audacity to say it costs MORE than the Greek one I ordered - we didn't receive our appetizers until 11pm, the appetizers we preselected from the prefix menu before we even arrived at the restaurant that were literally just Greek salads they said the kitchen was so overwhelmed but they could've grown the tomatoes themselves in the amount of time it took and we didn't receive our entrees until after midnight at multiple times they tried to gaslight us into thinking we already got them and I was like are you actually kidding - and after all that we were forced to pay a 20% included gratuity and the food was absolutely vile read more

Pappas was amazing. The dj was great. The belly dancer was so fun. I came here for my cousins birthday and it was the best. I ordered the salmon and fries. Salmon was good a little small but still good. The drink I ordered was the first on the menu the martini the pineapple one. It was really strong not really good. They ran out of the evil eyes for the drinks but they gave us free shots. The waiters were all really nice and I just can't believe how many bad reviews this place got. I went on a Thursday at 9 pm and we stayed till 12:30 and they didn't kick us out. It was very fun dancing and I would go back. read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER -- HAD A RESERVATION AND DIDN'T EVEN GET SAT AT A TABLE!!!! I had booked a reservation here for 10 people over a month in advance for a special event of ours. When we got there, the hostesses kept telling us our table would be ready in 2 minutes. We waited over 45 minutes, and every time I or someone in my party asked the hostesses for updates, they said our table would be ready in 2 minutes, all while seating every other party that showed up to the restaurant. My party ended up deciding to leave without even being sat or having dinner. I have a feeling the staff gave away our table, or just decided to seat other people instead, despite us having a reservation. This was the most atrocious experience I've EVER had at a restaurant. I understand sometimes even with a reservation there is some wait time that happens, and my party was just excited to be there and celebrate our event. My party got to a point where we didn't even care how or where we got sat, we just wanted to be able to sit and eat. However, the hostesses were extremely unprofessional, giving us dishonest expectations on wait times and continually playing in our faces. They made absolutely no effort to help us at all, in any which way. I am truly disgusted at the experience I had here, and I would avoid this place at all costs if you care even the slightest about service quality and professionalism. The lack of care and respect for us as people, let alone people who were clearly there for a special event, was ridiculous. Absolutely. Unacceptable. read more

The food was delicious, but not worth the price imo. Music was loud so you could barely hear who you were with, but this is a personal preference kind of thing. Not bad but wouldn't visit again read more

DON'T GET FOOLED BY THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA!!! We went for a dinner on the new years! it was a set menu. The food was bad no flavor and overcooked. The drinks were horrible. We were told that they will have live entertainment on the time of the booking. No show was available to make the night fun We tried to ask several times during the dinner if they will have a show, the server didn't have an answer and either the manager. The place is ran by a poor management, it's not worth the hype as seen on the instagram. read more

I've been to many places in manhattan over the years. I have never seen worse service in my entire life. It was honestly pathetic. My girlfriend was so excited to have her birthday dinner here with a couple friends. It was absolutely horrible. We waited for a few minutes after our reservation to be seated which was fine, we got to the table and the waiter asked if we were ready for drinks, we said we needed a minute because we just sat down. It took him another 20 minutes to finally come back and take our drink orders, and by then we had already had our entire order ready to go, so we told him. An entire hour, 60 minutes had went by until we got our appetizers, and we hadn't even gotten our drinks yet, after sitting down for over an hour, no exaggeration. Even after repeated attempts to tell our waiter, other waiters, and even busboys to bring us our drinks, it still took them over an hour. We sat down at 9:15 and didn't receive our drinks until 10:20. At that point we were so appalled that we didn't even want them anymore, not to mention they forgot 2 drinks anyway. The waiter finally came over to apologize after one of us approached him in the middle of the restaurant because we had no other choice, and he offered us free shots instead, which we declined. It is astonishing that people that go to a restaurant expecting not only good food, but at least decent service in the middle of manhattan have to wait 1 hour for drinks, it was disrespectful and we will never go to this place again. Not to mention when we paid the bill a 20% tip was mandatory and already included on the bill. The service was so bad that it was laughable, and I rarely complain. They should really get their shit together. read more

I was SO excited to finally check this place out. Let's start off with how they emphasized that if you're late you will lose your table. We all arrived on time for our 9pm reservation (party of 8), only to get seated at 10:20. While we were waiting they were getting annoyed that we kept checking in, a normal establishment would have already comped drinks and apologized a million times, they did not. Finally after getting seated it took about 20 mins for someone to come and take our drink order, which took almost an HOUR to come out. Drinks- Gross, stick to pure liquor or champagne. We had 5 different ones, no one took more then 2 sips. Food- food was okay, we tried like 10 dishes. The octopus tasted like you're eating straight up salt, but everything else was average. Music- the Dj was excellent, best part of the place. But it was loud, very loud. Like you can't hear the person next to you. Atmosphere- Very crowded with an unfortunate crowd, maybe because it was a Saturday night, not sure. read more

We did not have a good experience here. Our waiter was not attentive and didn't seem to care that we were there. DO NOT get the Dakos salad. It is just soggy bread with tomatoes and cheese on top. We wanted to try something new and it was not good. The Pappas chips and spicy feta were delicious, so I definitely recommend getting those. We went earlier so we didn't get to experience the club like atmosphere. Make sure you go later if that's what you're looking for. We would not recommend this place or go back next time we're in the city. read more

I went last night 3/15 and had a very horrible experience. A group of us were celebrating our friend's birthday party. We made reservation months ago. They sat us in a very very dark corner, literally no lights around. I understand they are busy and they are trying to set the mode but they could do something better - more lights. Second strike and this is a big one - our server was less qualified to be any kind of server. He was very inattentive, he could never be found. He was a short bald man, did not get his name. 3rd strike - the food was cold, it was siting in the back and probably because our server was inexperienced, he forget to bring it out. If I could I would give the server minus 5 stars, I would. There's a lot of places you can go to celebrate special occasions, my suggestion pick a different place than Pappas. read more

Came for my birthday dinner.. so This place looks and feels Iike you just traveled to Greece, it's big but not spacious enough. It gets super crowded. It's definitely a vibe for a birthday celebration but just get appetizers from their starters and order a bottle instead of drinks. Definitely recommend getting the grilled octopus. It was delicious. wasn't a big fan of their drinks. It felt like cheap liquor, I got the Chios margarita, it looks cute for the pictures but it didn't taste good. It's also a restaurant for your instagram pictures read more

Pappas is a 10/10 across the board! I visited on a Thursday and when I say I was not disappointed... I mean it! The restaurant itself is absolutely stunning. It really redeems like your transported into Greece. There are so many photo ops make sure you dress up to get nice pictures. They also have a photographer on site that frames your favorite pictures (for an additional price). Every staff member we encounter was super kind and accommodating. The vibe is off the charts - sparklers in the air, dancers making their way around the room, the dj had everyone singing along and enjoying themselves. Lastly the food, 0 complaints. Everything tasted great. I can't wait to go back! read more

I came to Pappas yesterday to celebrate my birthday and I must tell you all how AMAZING it was. From the moment my crew and I walked in, we were greeted with great respect, comfort, and support by Daniella at the front desk and instantly taken care of by Frenki, our professional waiter/server. We trusted Frenki with our meal order and he literally took us to Greece. From the appreciated to the main course and dessert he was at it! Few notable meals included Pappas Chips, Grilled Calamari, Lobster Pasta, and Lamb Chops. Drinks were tasty too Frenki truly made my birthday special and I will definitely see him and the entire Pappas staff again soon! read more

The literal worst. Made a resy for my bday dinner and while we were seated quickly, we were not able to grab the waiters attention to order dinner for an hr (took our drink order fairly quickly and disappeared, seems they have 15 busboys standing around and 2 actual waiters on a Saturday night....) they forgot about my friends beer, served 2 people raw farmed salmon (one of which was PREGNANT), gave my other friend plain fries instead of their advertised greek fries w feta etc, 3 of us ordered th3 chicken souvlaki, allb3 plates looked completely different and they forgot the pita on mine, obviously didnt discount the bill nor apologize. Theyre worse than european waiters in the sense of just dropping the food down and running away before confirming the food is correct. dont even get me started with the headache they call a show. Fridays and Saturdays are supposed to be a "mykonos soiree" nothing mykononian or even greek about it. Dj played top 40 open format, and the show was an hefty brown girl that just made things awkward as we didnt want to be rude and shoo her away but literally nothing greek about the "mykonos soiree" which was why we booked the resy. Then theres a dude that blows a whistle off beat non stop and shoves those sparkler things in your face as as that happens the photographer runs up and starts snapping pictures. I guess that's how they do marketing? The place is a shitshow. I cant believe I fell for it. As a Greek person I am utterly disgusted how this place uses my culture as a scam and a gimmick. read more

I really wanted to try the lamb shank, but they said they did not have lamb even though we came when the restaurant opened at 5PM.

What a wonderful "new" addition to the NYC Mediterranean/Hellenic Greek food dining scene of NYC !! The minute you walk into this revived (originally founded in Manhattan in 1910) restaurant you feel that you just walked into a taverna in a remote Greek island of the Aegean. In fact this establishment is an "island" oasis in the bustling Greenwich Village scene. The service was fantastic and the entire team from Ike, the manager, to our waiter, Eduardo, gave a new meaning to "philoxenia" (friend of strangers) . Hint the Lamb Shank Youvetsi was extraordinary (!!) cooked and served in a clay pot ...a MUST try ! read more

Don't. Just don't. I wish I could write a review of my experience but it ended the moment I walked up to the door. I went to celebrate my friends birthday party and I walk up to the door and the door man condescendingly looks me up and down and says "nah, you can't get in looking like that". For reference i was wearing shorts and a T-shirt as I rushed over from my bartending job and had no clue there was a strict dinner dress code. I have no idea who they think they are but I could walk into Delmonico's dressed like this and have a wonderful time. This place is completely pretentious and has no place in New York, let alone MacDougal street which has been called "the most colorful and magnetic venue for tourists on an evening outing in the Village". read more
