Pylos has a great atmosphere that immediately stands out. The ceiling covered in decorative pots is a unique touch and gives the space a warm, memorable feel. Service was excellent: very attentive and polished throughout. I also had to push my reservation back by about 30 minutes, and they were very accommodating, which I appreciated. The food was a bit mixed but overall enjoyable. The Aperol spritz was slightly lackluster, though still perfectly drinkable. The brizola had good flavor, but came out more cooked than the medium rare I ordered. The standout was definitely the dolmathes avgolemono, which had a really flavorful filling and a delicious sauce that brought the whole dish together. read more

The waves crash against the rocky surface and a salty breeze wafts its way up the coast rustling your hair and cools your skin baked by the Mediterranean sun. You sip on a simple cocktail of ouzo and lemon while munching on a few olives. This is the mental image I had while I walked towards the restaurant. The inside of the restaurant felt like an upscale seaside eatery with clay pots adorning the ceiling and seats weaves with a straw like texture giving the ambiance an overall rustic feel. The flavors were really good and I loved the lamb chops. I regret not trying the octopus, and will definitely go back to try it again. I was hoping for a bit more Oceanside flavors considering the namesake of the restaurant, but I enjoyed how they pulled food items from different regions of Greece. A good place to wine and dine a significant other especially with the curated list of Greek wines . read more

Right off the bat, Pylos has wonderfully attentive service. My friend and I arrived around 5:30pm without a reservation during the last restaurant week and were easily seated. Good to note that the dinner rush is after 7pm. Our server brought out complementary fava dip and pita bread. Always a great sign of hospitality, and the fava was really delicious! For appetizers we ordered the light as air meatballs (afrata keftedes) and the shrimp with ouzo (garides ouzo). The meatballs were soft and tasty but be warned they had a very strong mint flavor. The shrimp were flavored in an elegantly mild tomato sauce vaguely with cream. Very tasty. The grilled baby lamb chops (paidakia) were utterly delicious! The moussaka was okay. It had layers of stewed meat sauce with overtly strong spices, roasted eggplant and zucchini layers, and overly loose bechamel sauce. I prefer my moussaka with milder spice, thicker meat sauce, firm bechamel, and layered potatoes together with the eggplant. To each their own. For dessert we ordered the galactobourekakia which tasted off to me like it had spoiled and the phyllo tasted like old deep fried oil, a bad experience. The mousse ouzo dessert was good but I did not taste the ouzo. All in all, it makes for a pleasant night out with great service, lovely atmosphere, and good food if you know what to order. read more

Had a great (authentic) meal here with my daughter. It was the first time visiting the restaurant. It is a very nicely decorated space with ample room. It offers an outdoor seating option as well. We were promptly seated by the hostess and our server was great. She spoke Greek which is a plus for me. The staff was very attentive to all our needs. We had just come from having a couple of cocktails so we only drank wine with dinner. We went with a traditional retsina. It was very good quality and quite refreshing. We began the meal with an order of Dolmades and a Horiatiki (village) salad. The Dolmades were excellent. The egg-lemon cream sauce was perfect and the rice and beef mix were cooked perfectly. We followed this with a pistachio crusted fillet of striped bass!! It was amazing! We split this and could barely finish it due to the size. We complemented the bass with the baked Greek giant beans. The meal was truly stellar. We finished with a cup of Greek coffee. To be honest, it was not very good, but it is a minor issue at best. Value was outstanding! Give this place a try. You won't be sorry you did. read more

The most beautiful and delicious Greek-style food I've ever had. But also amongst the most delicious food of ANY cuisine I've ever had. The artichoke moussaka starter and the ouzo chocolate mousse dessert blew my mind. read more

Pylos is an excellent Greek restaurant that does so many things well by keeping its menu trimmed down to size. Upon entering, you are immediately impressed by its eye pleasing streamlined interior design and color palette that goes all the way to the ceiling. I made the reservation with no trouble and we arrived a few minutes late with no problem. We were immediately seated at the end of their long couch at the L section. The design runs all the way back to the bar. Surprise, we looked at the streamlined menu evidencing not only a focus on what the kitchen dies well, but a Sunday prix fix menu at a bargain rate of $25 per person, which includes a complimentary flute of champagne, Mimosa or Kir Royale. We opted for the Kir Royale, which was not too sweet, but offered a sweet counterpoint to the savory offerings. The prix fix offers various egg and omelette dishes served with their crispy potatoes and arugula and tomato chunk salad. First came the ice water and hot pita bread served as an appetizer. I naturally asked for olive oil with cracked pepper and enjoyed dipping that warm pita in the olive oil. Simple and delicious. Then came our smoked salmon omelettes with the arugula salad, potatoes, and toast. My friend thought the potatoes demanded ketchup, but I told her to wait for the interaction with the smokes salmon, a simple, but flavorsome interaction, especially given the level of smoke in their salmon. Yes, it's definitely smoked and delicious; though, a thin slice folded neatly into the aesthetically pleasing omelette. A simple and delicious pairing. I asked our server to bring some preserves or jam for the toast. Their strawberry jam tastes unique and went well with that toast, especially sipping the remainder of the Kir Royale. Everything is pared down to simple elegance here at Pylos, but they are a real Greek restaurant. A neighboring table ordered the lamb chops and the sight and aroma of them left an indelible impression. Next time, because this time we had ordered the jumbo grilled shrimp dish on the side, which comes with the arugula salad and rice pilaf with spinach and lemon. The shrimp was slightly overcooked, but still very good and perfectly accompanied by the spinach rice pilaf that was perfectly cooked. Pylos is a restaurant that has an upside as evidenced by their focused menu. The prix fix brunch, offered until 4 on Sundays and perhaps even Saturdays, is one not to be missed at such a great price point. The shrimp tasted and the lamb chops seem demonstrate Pylos has a great upside, along with great service, ambience, and clean restrooms. Our total came to about $84 before tip, which is a good value for East Village. Though I do not think this experience was a four star experience, I will give a rating of 3.7 for the first time. It deserves better than three and a half, but not quite up to four stars, which those lamb chops may warrant next time. read more

My meal here was very tasty. I tried the giant beans and artichoke moussaka. There was also a complimentary appetizer of pita with a dip. The dip was mild and creamy, and the pita tasted fresh. The moussaka was incredible - full of mild but creamy cheese with a crispy brown top, and layers of artichoke. The subtle herbs and garlic poking through were really nice. The beans were also great, on a rich tomato sauce with plenty of herbs. My meal came out to about $50 after tax and tip. It was worth it for the high-quality food. read more

My friend and I came to Pylos for dinner on a Monday night and were very happy with our experience! We had made a reservation just in case a week in advance for 7pm but the place was not really that busy. We got there right on time and were very kindly greeted by the hostess. She led us to our table and let us pick one of the nicer and more spacious corner ones which was very nice of her! This restaurant is super cute, with dim moody lighting, exposed brick and white walls, clay pottery decor, there are evident hints to Greek landscapes. Our waiter was hands down amazing-- he was genuine, fearless about giving us recommendations, and just had such a bubbly, welcoming energy. The menu is very extensive and everything looked delicious. They brought out some complimentary pita and a dip that reminded me of hummus but had an earthier flavor (so either very garbanzo heavy hummus or some fava bean dip... unclear but was delicious). We both ordered what our waiter recommended and were NOT disappointed. - Pistachio crusted bass: this dish was actually phenomenal! I'm used to the Greek food that is more simple, usually a nice simple fillet of fish with olive oil and lemon, but this was an amazing meal. The fish was high quality, was so flaky and tender, and was beautifully marinaded with some spices, very mild mustard, and had a pistachio crust that added a perfect sweet nutty balance. This generously sized filet came over a bed of thinly sliced roasted vegetables (eggplant, carrots, potatoes) stacked together like a lasagna with the mildest goat cheese that was delicious and so aesthetic. I would come back just for this dish alone. - Galaktobourekakia: this was the dessert our waiter recommended and it was a phenomenal choice. These crispy phyllo pastries that are mildly savory and are filled with a very mild but creamy sweet cheese filling with hints of cinnamon and orange zest. There are drizzled with generous amounts of natural honey which overall make this dessert the perfect level of sweetness. Very good to split! Felt very healthy and light but satisfying. Overall, I had a great time at Pylos. The place is super cute and doesn't feel overhyped/ is pleasantly lowkey, all the food was 11/10, and the service brought a big smile to my face! This is the perfect spot for a date or just to catch up with family/friends. I will be coming back here more regularly after the amazing experience. read more

Just wine choice. No Bar. Crowded. Noise level was loud. Food felt rushed. Was not a relaxed experience.

Awesome vibe and upscale service. Food was absolutely delicious. I took my son and we each ordered off the price fix menu which included a 3 course meal for $45 I opted for the Greek villager salad and the baby lamb chops with baklava. My son had the soup and the salmon with an ouzo infused chocolate mousse dessert. We each drank a different spritzer. The restaurant brought warm pita bread and hummus-everything was superb and we will definitely be back :-) read more

Located at 128 East 7th Street this gem hits the spot for me! The interior decor transports out of the city and to the islands of Greece! I started with the stuffed grape leaves and saganaki (cheese melted) which were very tasty but for me the star of the evening was the Arni Kotsi Me Meli, Me Mikra Psita Lahanika or the fall off the bone, perfectly seasoned Cretan honey braised lamb shank with roasted baby potatoes and carrots! This dish hit me to my core and had me thinking about it weeks after devouring it. For dessert I topped it off with delectable buttery phyllo triangles filled with greek custard and drizzled with cinnamon and greek mountain honey. They definitely finished off the night with a lightly sweetened flavor complimenting the cinnamon and custard. This place to me is a go to when I just want to go on a mini vacation but only have a few hours to spare! read more

Fantastic! The food was terrific. We split the Maroulosalata salad, which was huge and easily enough for 4 people. My wife had the pork shank, wow! Exploded with flavor. My wife's friend had the Pastitsio. I had the sirloin steak. All were so delicious. Our server appeared to be confused at various points during our visit. I expected problems, but thankfully none occurred. read more

Another stellar birthday dinner at Pylos! Right after we ordered, a covered plate of warm pita pieces and a hummus-like dip were brought to the table. Very tasty. We started with horiatiki, our favorite Greek salad. Here it is a substantial bowl of cukes, tomatoes, red onion, with 4 large triangles of feta and ample Greek olives (kalamata, I think). Delish! We had also a hot appetizer, the gigante beans in a dill-accented rich tomato sauce, and this evening I thought those beans were really big ones. As always they were cooked to the perfect texture, soft but not mushy, and the sauce we were spooning up! These were quite filling, and we each had a glass of wine (red for him, white for me), so we decided to share the Lavraki entree. It's a solid piece of firm light fish, served over a "cake" of eggplant and some kind of cream or cheese, very good. I cut it in half and we each wound up with a small but satisfying chunk of it. Oh, the fish is covered with chopped pistachios. Did we want dessert? We were full but it's both of our birthdays within the past 6 days, so yes, why not!? We shared what they call "Christos' Towering Galaktobourekakia." This was 3 phyllo triangles filled with Greek custard, served on a plate with powdered sugar sprinkled around and lots of sumptuous Greek honey on and around. SO good! And it was brought to the table with a birthday candle; our server wished us a happy birthday but thankfully no tacky group of singing waitstaff! Took us just under an hour to walk the 50 blocks home (some of it uphill) and I'm sure I could still work off some of the calories, but definitely worth every single one! We've been coming to Pylos for several years; it's our "special occasion" place. We have never ever been disappointed! read more

The food at Pylos was amazing! We got the braised lamb and wild stripe bass. Both so good. The lamb was so tender. Really enjoyed the pistachio pesto on the fish. Service was a bit on the slower side but it was a busy Friday night. Really nice decor and ambiance. read more

The best Greek food there is in New York City. I was absolutely blown away by how delicious these dishes where I felt like it was a mix of Greek and Italian hints. The service overall was incredible and our waitress was working so hard to make sure our dinner was enjoyable. We did have the first reservation of the evening and the restaurant was not warmed up so if I could ask the owner to preheat the restaurant, at least an hour before eight that would be great. I don't like sitting there shivering waiting for the facility to warm up. It's not right. The shrimp was extremely fresh, but I'd like to mention the incredible wine list that they have that is imported directly from Greece. The drinks were nice and strong, and all of us really enjoyed having dinner here. read more

Enjoyed an exceptional meal at Pylos! Definitely would recommend it! Food, atmosphere and service were all top! Normally we go out to Astoria for great Greek, however having decided to stay in town for the evening looked online at the options beyond those Manhattan Greek spots we've dined at over the years. Found Pylos and booked a table. Relatively narrow and long with different spaces, we were seated in the far back half, but that was more than OK. Surprisingly, everyone else was seated up front. Our shared appetizers included the fresh tasty Horiatiki classic Greek village salad, scrumptious Dolmathes avgolemono (i.e., beef, rice, raisin, and pine nut stuffed grape leaves covered in an egg lemon sauce) and the winner, a special - octopus carpaccio with fennel and arugula. Accompanying these, Pylos offered pita bread with a chickpea spread. While one of us selected Moussaka, my entreé was their Agrio lavraki me krousta apo pistachios - pistachio encrusted chunks of stripe bass filet topping a vegetable Napoleon incorporating a pistachio pesto and sheep milk cheese. Delightful and filling especially after our early round of starters, this fish dish left no room for dessert! Would certainly look forward to returning to Pylos for another memorable meal. read more

Great ambiance where it was lively but not loud, classy but not stuffy, casual but still refined. I loved our corner cushioned seat in the front dining area. There's also an inner dining area adjacent to the front that is also intimate. Food was high quality, tasty and service was impeccable. We ordered a variety - the feta, avgolemeno soup, octopus, moussaka and pastitsio dishes. Everything was delicious. Even the complimentary pita with dip pre-meal. Wine was served in glass goblets which was a pleasant aesthetic. read more

One of my favorites while craving Greek food. The staff is always so courteous and welcoming. They have a great wine list, with pretty rare grape varietals. In almost all my visits to Pylos, I have never ordered a main course - instead made a meal out of apps. Some of my favorites are the dip trio, halloumi with grilled grapes, zucchini and eggplant chips and the artichoke bake. Another plus for Pylos is that despite being so popular and good, it's not crazy to find reservations unlike most other good restaurants in NYC. read more

As good as I remembered from years ago ! Brought some friends since one of my friends was craving some Mediterranean food. They loved all the dishes especially the octopus and the dips!

~ Hummus w/ Flatbread ~ This is a free starter available for each table I believe. The hummus is average, not the best I had. I really enjoy the flatbread! It's floury, fluffy and served hot! ~ Poikilia: 3 dipping sauces (5/5) ~ Tzatziki (yoghrut dip) | Melitzanosalata (eggplant condiment) | Taramosalata (fish roe dip) Love the 3 dips!!!! Especially the fish roe dip. I have never had a fish roe dip before, it's creamy with a slightly salted fishy taste, I'm genuinely surprised how good this is. My second favourite is the yogurt dip, it's very tangy and have a punchy herbal taste. Eggplant is good but not memorable. We enjoyed the dips with the fluffy, warm flatbread, so good! ~ Grilled baby lamp chops w/ mini stuffed eggplants & potatoes (5/5) ~ The lamp chops are grilled to a perfect medium pink centre. The meat is tender, juicy, flavourable, strong but without the unpleasant muttony flavour. The stuffed eggplants with tomato & potato taste so juicy and yum. ~ Pistachio crusted wild stripe bass fillet w/ vegetable Napoleon flavoured & pistachio pesto and sheep milk cheese (5/5) ~ Now this is a star of the show. I never knew pistachio can go so well with fish! The soft fish fillet is tender, juicy, the pistachio crunches added some nuttiness taste and texture. The light seasoning really brings out the freshness of the fish. The pistachio pesto has very mild flavours, can't taste much pesto nor pistachio, I think they could have make it a tad stronger. At the bottom, it's eggplant and tomato but flavoured in a way that's different from the lamp chop dish, it soaks up the fish juices and the sheep milk cheese added savoury note to the vegetables. I love this dish! ~ Pastitsio (4/5) ~ Greek style baked ziti. Quite a hearty dish with lots of aromatic meat sauce, but it doesn't taste heavy at all. The pasta is on the softer side, but still tasted good with the meat and thick creamy béchamel sauce. Great comfort food. Will I be back? Yes! I enjoyed every single dish, and would like to try more of their other dishes on menu! Service is very good too. read more

Sorry for the late review. My husband and I visited Pylos on July 23, a little after 6 pm, and had an unforgettable dining experience. Although we arrived a bit earlier than our reservation, the hostess welcomed us very warmly and seated us at a lovely window table. We both ordered the $45 Restaurant Week Menu and every course was impressive. Not only delicious but also beautifully presented and generously portioned. Highlights for us were the fresh and flavorful Greek salad, the rich and creamy shrimp pasta (with tasty egg noodles), and the very crispy Phyllo dessert, which was paired with the perfect Greek custard and honey. Our server Maria, truly made the evening special. Her sweet smile, kind explanations, and attentive service were top-notch. She was such a delight that I would return to see her again. We truly appreciate her great hospitality. Of course, the other staff members were very friendly too. Actually, I wasn't feeling my best on that evening due to back pain, unfortunately, but the warm service and amazing food lifted my spirits. We love the East Village and are thrilled to have finally discovered this gem. Already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Pylos! read more

We already had reservations for dinner elsewhere, but weren't really feeling it and decided to search for something else. Landed on Pylos and its many great reviews, so we changed plans... and we're so glad we did! A wonderful dinner experience, and probably the BEST meal we had during our trip! The interior is an upscale but casual and comfortable place. The ceiling is creatively lined with clay pots, and tables were neatly organized throughout the long narrow space. Our server, Tamera (I'm sure I spelled that incorrectly, sorry!) was wonderful! She was patient, knowing it was our first time, and she did a wonderful job of guiding us through the menu and helping us narrow down our choices (because we wanted EVERYTHING!!) We started with the complimentary pita and humus, and we ordered pitakia kaisarias- meat and cheese filled phyllo triangles, saganaki, and grilled octopus (htapothi scharas). Fantastic! I initially wanted to try the lamb chops but decided to go with something lighter since we had all those wonderful appetizers. I chose the grilled branzino with patates psites (Greek lemon potatoes) and my husband chose pastitsio, one of his favorites. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the pastitsio was the best restaurant pastitsio we've ever had. Some places are too heavy on the cinnamon, but this was perfect in that it elevated the flavor without overpowering it. We shared a beautiful bottle of wine from the Greek Macedonian region of Florina. Perfect compliment to the meal. We enjoyed an anniversary dessert of Galaktobourekakia. Miniature version of galaktoboureko. Semolina custard filled phyllo triangles drizzled with honey. So delicious! It's also inspired me to try making this style of mini galaktoboureko myself! Eat here, enjoy it, but don't tell everyone about how great it was... we'd like to still be able to get a reservation here when we return! Efharisto, Pylos! read more

I made a reservation for dinner and things got a bit delayed because hello it's a Friday, but they are all very welcoming to have it move a bit later. That was a very good customer service already. Then we got there and wow they were all nice and warm like they knew you but this is our first time and we were really amazed. Our server was Tamari (i hope a heard and spelled it right) she was terrific, attentive but not pushy and makes you feel like you're at home. Overall this was one the best places you want to check for good food ( perfect octopus, lamb!, good wine; so light and fruity compliments the lamb and the Moussaka was a great meal, that sauce was amazing! I am happy we got that place as our birthday date as it was cozy ambiance wrapped everything up. Thank you read more

Had such a wonderful dinner here celebrating my birthday. As we walked in we were greeted and promptly seated in this cozy restaurant. You could smell the aroma of all the dishes and hear the soft voiced conversations going on throughout the restaurant which mostly complemented the dishes they were eating. Our waitress came to our table and went of some wines, appetizers and main dishes to get a feel for what we like. We started off with a glass of wine and the Horiatiki - a classic greek village salad, with fresh tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, capers, kalamata olives, feta and a simple dressing of extra-virgin greek olive oil and red wine vinegar. Absolutely amazing, so fresh and every bite was delicious as well as the presentation. Next up was dinner , i ordered the marinated grilled baby lamb chops, served with mini stuffed eggplants and fingerling potatoes. Let me just say i cleaned my plate and this was hands down the best lamb chops i have had in new york. The flavor the way it was cooked, all perfection. We also ordered the 16 ounces aged prime new york cut sirloin steak, served with greek yiayia's fried potatoes and sautéed spinach. Again the steak was cook perfectly and it was so tender and you could easily cut right through it. The potatoes and spinach were also a hit. Lastly we ended our dinner with dessert, which made it the best dinner in new york and we even discussed how we weren't going to share this place with anyone that's how good it was haha. Oh before i forget the dessert was PYLOS' chocolate mousse spiked with ouzo. Oh my god so, so , so good. I honestly can say this was the first restaurant we went to where we literally cleared every dish clean, and had impeccable service. read more

After visiting Greece during the summer, we were hoping to recreate some of the amazing food experiences we had there. Pylos came up as a promising Greek restaurant with authentic cuisine and charm. We stopped in last weekend with an evening reservation. To start, we ordered the calamari which came out crispy, lemony, and with an amazing tomato cream sauce on the side. Definitely a great starter. For entrees, we shared a whole branzino and lamb shank. The lamb shank was so tender and came with these soft and seasoned potatoes on the side. The branzino was light, clean, and delicious as well. For dessert, ordered Christos' Towering Galaktobourekakia, which were these crispy squares filled with custard and drizzled with honey on top. 10 out of freaking 10. These were to die for. I would gladly return to Pylos in the future since the food was amazing and service was excellent. I recommend a reservation as this place filled up super faster after we were seated. read more
