Had a delightful Saturday brunch here at Bar Vlaha. The Greek / Mediterranean food was delicious, packed with flavor and filling.You can choose your own style meal, from sharing boukies tapas / appetizer styles or choosing from the trays (plates).The food was incredible and don’t sleep on the cocktails - they are equally delicious.Highly recommend reservations. We got there at 2:30 and the place was packed.I think they may have been a touch overwhelmed or lightly staffed so it did take a bit for food but despite that service was fantastic.Shout out to Sean - he was out there hustling at the bar and server tables like a boss!Vegetarian options: Many of the small plates are vegetarian and delicious. Might be harder for vegans as a lot of dishes include feta cheeseParking: It’s in the heart of Washington square so parking can be easy during non peek hours or busy during busy times (brunch time on weekends). We got a metered spot across the street.

Went here for brunch on a Saturday. The place was packed with cozy seating (aka limited elbow room). Loved their really high quality tableware. We got their Dips and Patatas which were both good. However, their mains were lacking for someone who is vegetarian/vegan. All dishes were eggs/meats based. Would have liked to see some 'Just egg' substitutes and falafels. Without them, it's not a place I would go back to again due to limited veg/vegan options. Service was alright in the beginning, but it was hard to flag down a waiter to get more coffee.

We ordered delivery from here. I ordered the lamb gyro plate. The cut of lamb was atrocious - a lot of the lamb was not able to be eaten due to the ligaments/connective tissue in the cut. We ordered a bunch of other items from here too that were also considered mid. Nothing was memorable except for how bad everything was. You would have to pay me to try this place ever again.

The food is delicious. Service was friendly if a little choppy. Contributed to the atmosphere in the end. I will definitely be back for brunch. We had the grilled veggies, the spreads, and the oyster mushrooms.
Fantastic Greek restaurant. Got brunch here today and everything was amazing. Highly recommend this place along with the brunch! Great service and food.

The flavors at this restaurant are what made it special. Very juicy lamb chops, you could taste each of the ingredients on their own. This is a hard thing to achieve in the culinary world. The olive oil ice cream was *chef's kiss*. Service was good, could have been slightly better. Definitely should go try one time!P.S. Greek liquors are an aquired taste and are strong so don't order if you aren't ready for that. (We weren't)

A Brunch Adventure at Bar Vlaha. Once upon a weekend, my friends and I embarked on a brunch escapade, and our compass led us straight to the captivating realm of Bar Vlaha. Nestled in the heart of the city, this hidden gem beckoned us with promises of delectable delights and an ambiance worthy of a thousand Instagram likes.Stepping inside, we were transported to a world where aesthetics met functionality. The interior design was a masterpiece in itself, boasting chic aesthetics that whispered of modern elegance. Every corner seemed crafted for the perfect photo op, making us feel like protagonists in our own brunch saga.As we settled into our seats, the real magic unfolded with the arrival of the service personnel. Their warmth and professionalism were like a gentle breeze on a sunny day, effortlessly enhancing our dining experience. From recommendations to refills, they orchestrated our brunch symphony with finesse and flair.Now, let's talk about the pièce de résistance: the food. Each dish that graced our table was a culinary masterpiece, meticulously crafted to tantalize our taste buds. From fluffy scrambled eggs to savory omelets, every bite was a journey through flavor paradise. I can’t really recommend the greek coffee though!! Admittedly, the prices leaned towards the higher end of the spectrum, but the quality and taste more than justified the indulgence.As our brunch adventure drew to a close, we couldn't help but marvel at the enchantment of Bar Vlaha. With its mesmerizing ambiance, impeccable service, and mouthwatering cuisine, it had woven itself into the fabric of our fondest memories. So, if you're seeking a brunch spot that transcends the ordinary and embraces the extraordinary, look no further than Bar Vlaha. Trust me; it's a tale worth savoring!

Really enjoyed eating brunch here (was soo hungry. Loved everything from the saganaki to the souvlaki. Even the yogurt was so good. It struck me as very authentic. Can’t wait to come back for dinner.
Had brunch at Bar Vlaha with my girlfriend this Sunday, it felt just like those amazing meals in Greece. The great vibe of the restaurant, nice and welcoming service team, plus the pictures of Greek ladies on the wall, just sets you right into that homey Greek mood. The food? Absolutely nailed it. I went for the TOST with grilled sourdough, wild mushrooms on top, swapped out cheese spread for this special fava bean hummus, and those poached eggs were just perfection. It's that kind of meal that leaves you both stuffed and planning your next visit. Sitting at the chef's table really made us feel part of the action, kind of like those big family meals back in Europe. It's got this vibe that's both Greek and a bit Italian, which I totally dig. And the fact that I'm from Europe and my girlfriend's originally Greek and she gave it the thumbs up? Says it all.

....overall a beautiful settings but they could use some better LED lights on the ceiling in the small side room. It's a little cold and impersonal feeling and they drain the color from everything.

Amazing food, super helpful server, wonderfully accessible… but be aware that there’s an unadvertised 90 minute dining limit, which in our case brought a sudden end to our otherwise perfect experience.
Amazing greek food. So unique. Completely new experience. Every single food on the menu has a story.
