Rarely does a restaurant draw me back twice in one trip to NYC but there were so many outstanding Greek dishes on the menu that we went back 3 times in a week so we could try more of the fabulous lunch menu. We met friends the second time and they insisted coming back for a third time. My favorite dish ended up being a stuffed red pepper that was so good I missed taking photos before diving into it. The lamb stuffed cabbage leaf dolmades were also wonderful as was the Greek Salad. The price fix lunch options were also excellent. My husband had an outstanding watermelon salad with red wine vinaigrette and the chicken souvlaki skewers. The Marietta salad was also really good. Our server recommend a great Greek red wine and allowed us to linger. It was the perfect lunch in a beautiful setting. They have indoor and patio dining. We loved it so much that we begged the owner to open a Greek restaurant in Austin. Located in a great location convenient to the theater district, it’s our new favorite! We will be back to try the many menu items we missed!

Very friendly and welcoming. Professional service and very attentive. Spacious, light atmo. Dishes were disappointing. Dips were strange or bland. Hamachi crudo was very small but good. Calamari was ok. Bass had an overload of tomato sauce and couldnt taste the fish. Medium rare lamb was well done and pricey Wine by the glass is a nice pour.

When you get a plate that suprises the palate, like the Crispy Iceland Cod with marinated beets, skordalia, and micro herbs, and keeps you guessing on the flavors and application of flavor to food mediums (is this potato or is it cauliflower??) you know the chef has expertise that goes beyond just another sit down restaurant in the city.
Calamari and octopus are usually our go-to’s for apps, and we were pleasantly surprised by the way the octopus was prepared with santorini fava and vinsanto tomato compote.
The grilled octopus was prepared as expected, but by adding the santorini fava (creamy Greek dip made from pureed yellow split peas, flavored with onion, garlic, lemon, and olive oil), and vinsanto tomato compote (tomatoe reduction infused with the distinctive sweet, nutty aroma of Vinsanto dessert wine, along with olive oil, onion, garlic, and herbs like basil and parsley), the dish offered granular but creamy texture through the santorini fava and depth of tanginess with the tomato compote.
Overall we highly recommend this Greek Restaurant near Hells Kitchen if you’re looking for innovative flavor applications and nuance with a familiar Greek taste!

Very loud and boomy space, and the tables are packed so close together you have to bump into other diners, which isn’t pleasant.
We dined for winter restaurant week and our anniversary — they squeezed us in the back corner and it was freezing. Food overall we felt was bland, unseasoned, and not appetizing. A few items did not seem to match the menu description either (the winter salad with fennel was like grocery store cole slaw with small pieces of blood orange?). Salmon was served over a sweet cold risotto with no flavor… just not for us. Service was okay, but not warm and friendly. We wouldn’t return.

This restaurant is AMAZING I have eaten in a lot of Greek restaurants ranging from mediocre to excellent. Molyvos is outstanding. 15/10. If u r in New York and u want the absolute best Greek food this is your place to go. I am in awe. The service is equally the same, spectacular. Thank you for the best dinner and service.

I was impressed by their goat cheese spread, it was delicious. You can get three spreads for $29 or one for $12. I had three of them including one with eggplant and the other was hummus (the three were very filling for one person), they are served with pita bread. The eggplant one was light in flavor and the hummus had a moderate flavor strength, which I liked much more than the eggplant one. On another visit there I had their meatballs, as well as an order of stuffed grape leaves. Both were light in flavor. On another visit I had their whole grilled sardines which I did not care for. The restaurant is at 402 West 43rd Street, just off the corner of 9th Avenue. It is opposite the theater where the satire called Little Shop of Horrors is presently playing in the Westside Theater. In addition to the restaurant’s indoor dining, they offer a large pleasant outdoor dining area.

You can enjoy Greek dishes such as moussaka and hummus. The grilled octopus is also very delicious.

I arrived early to meet friends here for brunch on a Saturday and arrived somewhat early. Unfortunately I also needed to use the restroom somewhat urgently 🙂 I asked the hostess, who I think was also a waitress, if I could use the restroom while I waited. She said “yes” but then asked for the name of the reservation. I gave her one name, but that wasn’t correct. There were 5 people and I didn’t know any other last names in the party.
I went outside to text my friends as I now did not feel welcome inside. Turned out that my friends had not made a reservation, but when I told them what happened, and how it made me feel, they suggested we go elsewhere. They sent me to a lovely restaurant on 10th avenue who let me in immediately to use the restroom while I waited, and we had a lovely 6 person brunch.
It is a shame because I was interested to try this place having been familiar with the space from running multiple corporate dinner events in the former restaurant that was there (I’m in corporate marketing). No chance I will want to run an event in this restaurant now. I had a strong feeling it did not help that I was dressed casually (was heading to teach a yoga class after brunch) and that I’m a woman of color. Of course that shouldn’t matter, but so often I find it does.
I’m surprised that any restaurant in this economic climate can afford to be so selective and potentially biased, but I guess they do not need the business. Funny, as the restaurant did not seem anywhere near full.

We stopped in here during a work trip for some pre-dinner wine and snacks. Got the trio of dips which came with an entire basket of breads and I’m still thinking about it.

My friends and I were excited to try Greek cuisine at Molyvos in Hell’s Kitchen, but unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment in every possible way. The location was great, but the food and service did not live up to expectations.
Our appetizers were unremarkable, lacking both taste and presentation. Our main courses were equally underwhelming—my fish was overcooked, smothered in a strange sauce, and lacked flavor. One of my friends ordered moussaka, which turned out to be a bowl of bland ground beef, not at all resembling authentic Greek moussaka.
My other friend ordered a chicken dish, but the potatoes tasted like they had been reheated after sitting in the refrigerator, leaving them dry and starchy. The chicken was also overcooked and soaked in a lemon sauce.
We decided not to order dessert to avoid further disappointment. The service was just okay, with no warm welcome or exceptional care.
I believe the entire kitchen staff needs to go back to the basics of cooking, front needs to get better training as well.
We will not go back there again, it was a wasted money and experience.
