Everything we drank and…read moreate was delicious - from the wine, to the Greek salad, to the saganaki, to the gorgeously grilled seafood. Most importantly, we received exceptional service all-around. The hostess team was super accommodating with our timing (thank you for pushing us back in the line!!), and our server - Juliette - was an absolute angel. She took amazing care of us and made our first time at the restaurant so special I adore her. Please take care of that queen, management!!! Thank you Juliette & team for a beautiful dining experience!!!! Xoxoxo

If we wanted to get a table in the main dining room, the wait was estimated to be over 2 hours (we went around 8pm), so I highly recommend making a reservation if you plan to go. The staff were very quick with service and very friendly. We were offered toasty bread with some lemon and an olive spread while we waited for our food (which also came out super quick!). We ordered the octopus and lamb chops. The octopus was incredibly tender, the meat was very soft - I personally would've preferred a little more bite to it, but it still tasted good. The lamb chops were flavorful. The medium here is on par with medium rare at most other places, and one of our pieces was borderline rare. At the end of the meal we were also offered complementary desert, which was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed our meal overall, but just know that it's a little on the pricey. The octopus and lamb chops came out to $80~ pre-tax and tip. Would recommend if you're a fan of seafood!

This might be the best Greek place I've been to. Perhaps, others have better dishes for certain…read morethings but overall Greek, this is up there. They start you off with warm pita bread which is delicious. I think you can ask for me as needed. The highlights were the dips and the pork chop with apple glaze I think. I was particularly surprised by the potato one since it usually taste like mashed potatoes but here it actually taste like a garlic dip. The roe dip is still my favorite as it usually is. The pork chop I would get again next time. Tender and a sweet glaze. The other dishes were good too but the pork chop was top tier. The carafe of white wine was delicious and I'd get again even though I try to cut down on alcohol. Only thing that I did not like was the galactoboureko which they did say comes from Victory Bakery. I'd skip desserts here. They give you some Turkish delights which aren't as bad as the ones in grocery stores in America.

We had a salad, with slices of fresh feta, Greek olives even dill, cut nice and chewable. Three of us shared appetizers. Forgot name in Greek but the American version the fried cheese was yummy, then a Branzino cooked to perfection, we had another dish looked like a lasagna with Bechamel' sauce baked 2" thick, that too was delicious, also even though I don't eat meat. An appetizer that was like mashed potatoes with garlic and a plate of lemon potatoes. Haven't had those cooked so well in years. The food just kept coming everything FRESH even the cream pastry with fresh cinnamon! I wish I remembered the names in Greek unfortunately I was too busy eating. - doggie bag was graciously given when we left. Definitely recommend and will be returning. As we were leaving the line out the door. Some very good Greek food more authentic than many in Manhattan. Real deal here.

George warmly welcomed us and even let us know that street parking would be free after 7:00 p.m.--a small but thoughtful gesture that set the tone right away. The restaurant had a lively, inviting energy, and throughout the meal, George delivered truly five-star service. He mentioned he's been there over 18 years, and it clearly shows in his effortless, seasoned, and genuinely attentive hospitality. Complimentary bread and water with a generous bowl of fresh lemons arrived immediately, a simple yet appreciated touch. We shared a medium Greek salad and grilled octopus--both outstanding, with the octopus especially tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We even took a few bites before remembering to snap a photo. The salad was served with olive oil and herb-infused vinegar on the side, allowing you to dress it exactly to your liking. For our mains, I ordered the grilled whole porgy, while my husband chose the shrimp spaghetti. The portion of fish was quite generous--I ended up taking most of it home, as I was already satisfied after the appetizers. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his pasta, and after tasting a couple of his shrimp, I completely understood why--it was delicious. To finish, we were each treated to a complimentary piece of galaktoboureko, a thoughtful and fitting end to the meal. Warm hospitality, a vibrant atmosphere, and well-executed dishes made this a truly enjoyable experience. We'll definitely be back.

I recommend booking a RVSP for their indoor garden area if possible as that portion of the restaurant is stunning (pic included). Nonetheless, both their regular indoor and indoor garden area is very reminiscent of Greece. Service was great. We got their fried calamari, dakos salad, spinach pie, and safritos. Everything was great. While I thought that their fried calamari and spinach pie was pretty standard, I truly enjoyed their safritos and dakos salad. Their safritos beef shoulder was so tender and you had the option to eat it with beans, lemon potatoes, or fries. We chose their lemon potatoes and thought that it paired so well. Their dakos salad was also light, refreshing, but so flavorful. Amazing meal and probably my favorite Greek restaurant in NYC.

I thought the food was delicious overall, but there were some items that were meh. But the (free) bread was sooooo good - it was super fluffy and I couldn't stop reaching for it. We ordered the mix grill platter and the youvetsi orzo pasta, which was the perfect amount of food for 5 people. For the mix grill platter - the sirloin was perfectly seasoned, the beef patties were crumbly and flavorful, and the loukaniko was deliciously charred. However, the chicken skewers were a bit dry and the lamb chops were not as tender as I had expected. Their tzatziki is very mild and bland and their pita bread was on the thinner and harder side. The orzo dish was just okay. The pasta itself was cooked well, but I found the taste to be almost watered down; the beef chunks were also dry and failed to soak up any of the flavor from the tomato sauce. All said, I still really enjoyed my experience. I'd love to go back and try the seafood platter.

I'm always a sucker for a good chicken kebab, but it has to be tender. Can't eat chicken breast kebabs when it isn't tender. I rather eat cardboard. However, this place made a great chicken kebab. The octopus could've been grilled a little more, but overall the food was good. Besides the food being good, we met the owner of the location. Nice lady and had a sharp tongue. Witty and clever with her words. She made us laugh as if we've known each other for years. If we ever end up back here again, it would definitely be to see her again. The place itself was small, cozy but not much of a decor. Bunch of musicians from Greece on the wall. However, they do live Greek music on Friday nights and I believe weekends. So if you're looking for some authentic music and good food, definitely try Dionysos out if you're in the area.

The whole vibe felt warm and made it a really nice family dinner. My grandma and mom both seemed happy and enjoyed everything, which honestly mattered most. We ordered two Greek salads (definitely could've gotten away with just one -- they're huge and very shareable). We also had the Mediterranean spreads: tzatziki, eggplant, and a spicy spread. Everything was solid and great for sharing. We also got grilled octopus as an appetizer -- super tender and really well done. For my main, I had the grilled deboned red snapper -- absolutely delicious. It came with a creamy lemon sauce on the side that you can pour over the fish, plus oregano fries and grilled vegetables. The veggies were amazing, especially the grilled onions that just melted in your mouth. We also ordered takeout: kefte kebab with fries, which was maybe smaller portion but it was good flavor. For dessert we had a baklava float (I think that was the name) with coffees to finish. Very happy with the whole meal overall. Drinks at the bar beforehand were also a highlight -- sangria and a gin, lavender, elderflower, cucumber cocktail that my grandma actually loved.
