Reviews
Had my birthday meal here and everything about the place was lovely–the atmosphere, very Mediterranean and serene, and the service. Every worker greets you so nicely and checks up on you just enough.
I highly recommend their lamb dishes. The meat is very tender and although I usually don’t like lamb meat because of its distinct smell, this place cooked it so well.
Also get their mocktail mojito
But wow this place turned out to be incredibly memorable. The views, the ambiance, and of course the food and cocktails were all outstanding.
The highlights were the seafood platter, Lobster pasta, Porn Star cocktail, and espresso martini.
James the owner and his son, Hercules, took care of us as we were family. It’s perfect for a date night or a family dinner. The vibe feels like the Greek islands, but with stunning Manhattan skyline views.
Yamas!
For appetizers, we enjoyed East Coast oysters, grilled octopus, and spanakopita. The octopus was perfectly tender with a beautiful char, while the spanakopita, filled with fresh spinach and feta, was light and flavorful.
For entrées, my wife ordered the lobster pasta, which was cooked al dente and generously filled with lobster, while I had the branzino with a side of lemon potatoes. The branzino was one of the best I’ve had in New York City perfectly grilled with a brightness from the lemon that elevated the dish.
Beyond the food, the hospitality made the evening even more special. The owner greeted us warmly, and our server ensured we felt like part of the family. It’s rare to find an authentic dining experience like this, and Psaraki delivered on every level.
Highly recommended 10/10.
FOOD: They started us off with a complimentary soup.
We did the fisherman’s table experience and loved it. I particularly liked the saganaki cheese. The tzatziki dip zucchini chips horiatiki salad. Everything was delicious. Even down to how the salad was seasoned. Complimentary seconds but realistically you get full. I did ask for another saganaki cheese though and extra tzatziki.
For the main dishes, simply prepared fish and evenly portioned out. There wasn’t as much fish for the entree as mezze apps but that’s OK. I personally liked the branzino.
Dessert was yogurt with sour cherry – absolutely delicious and they gave us a complimentary baklava – equally delicious – because of the wait.
SERVICE: Aris checked on us routinely to see if we needed anything and that did not go unnoticed. We also met the owner James who told us about the whole concept which truly comes to life in many different ways.
AMBIANCE: it’s a beautiful cozy relaxing restaurant that serves high quality food and all with a beautiful view on the water.
Thank you Aris and James!! What a lovely experience.
Less than ten minutes after we got the appetizers the main courses were already being dropped at the table, even though we had barely touched the appetizers. We felt very rushed, which was disappointing, as it took away from the overall experience. With the restaurant nearly empty, there was really no need to push us like that.
We explained to the person who dropped off the main courses that we weren’t ready and felt rushed, but instead of addressing the concern, he told us that if we had something to say, we needed to speak to the manager, and then walked away.
The seafood portion was also extremely small: one shrimp, one tiny piece of salmon that fit on my fork, and two scallops.
We won’t come back. Really bad
The food was absolutely incredible. Every dish tasted fresh and truly authentic Greek, from the flavors to the presentation. You can tell a lot of passion goes into the kitchen. Combined with the great atmosphere and views, this place is a must visit if you love real Greek cuisine. I will definitely be coming back.
We let James take the lead on our order, and he curated the perfect mix of dishes tailored to our tastes while encouraging us to try new things (which we all ended up loving). We started with a warm vegetable lemon soup, then tuna tartar, hamachi, oysters, and scallops — all unbelievably fresh. Appetizers like the calamari, fish chips (which James showed us how to eat the traditional way!), octopus, horiatiki, and saganaki were all standouts.
The cocktails were just as impressive — we started with bartender’s choice sweet vodka drinks (so creative and delicious!), then tried the spicy marg, pornstar martini, and Psaraki spritz, all fantastic. For mains, the lobster pasta, wood-grilled prawns, and branzino with fries were bursting with authentic Greek flavor.
Dessert was the grand finale: bougatsa, Greek yogurt with sour cherry, baklava, and portokalopita (orange cake made with phyllo), paired with espresso martinis, Vin Santo dessert wine, and mastiha to finish.
Between the flavors, ambiance, and hospitality, it truly felt like we were transported to Greece. I didn’t want to leave — we already booked a reservation to come back this weekend! Every bite, sip, and moment was unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend!
