Very nice location by the Vanderbilt/Summit and Grand Central. Nice atmosphere. Decent menu by description. By the prices are too high even for this section of Manhattan and the food lacked any form of seasoning. There is to salt and pepper at the table and the server never asked if we needed anything else. The price fixe menu is fine but anything seafood had a $15 up charge. So 55 went to 85. The dessert was blah. I love pistachio so cream. It has too many hazelnuts or something and I can’t stand getting ice cream that is sitting in melting ice cream. Overall, it was ok. Don’t know if a basic lunch for 4 with NO DRINKS should be $300.

We recently hosted a small after-work cocktail event in the private room at Ammos, and it was absolutely perfect! The space was cozy and elegant, providing the ideal setting for our group of fewer than 20 people.
The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring that everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The drinks were expertly crafted, and the appetizers were delicious, with something to please everyone in our group. They took the time to ask if any of our guests had any dietary restrictions and then they helped that person pick the best options from the selections.
A special shoutout to Pano & Daniel for going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a venue for an intimate gathering or event, I highly recommend Ammos. We'll definitely be back for more!

I booked a business lunch here in a semi-private space for 8 people. Even before the day of the event, the communication was phenomenal. They put together a menu and worked exceptionally well with our particular needs and preferences. Once there, the location is so convenient and there was a great buzzy atmosphere. The Greek staples on our prix-fixe menu hit the spot. After the event, they sent me finalized receipts without me having to ask (which is huge in the corporate world). Thank you so much and I look forward to returning soon.

Nick was an awesome waiter and the Chilean sea bass was excellent. Great selection on the menu for those looking for market fresh, Mediterranean/Greek style food.

Quite possibly one of the most disappointing and expensive meals in this wonderful city where you can eat just about everything.
Pre-covid, my husband came here a lot and had a good experience. It seems the restaurant has improved its decor and doubled all the prices. Hoping for an enjoyable pre-theatre meal, we sat down.
We ordered the taramasolata to share as an appetizer. What arrived was a bright pink dish that tasted so unappetising and NOTHING like Taramasolata that we sent it back. We were offered a spicy cream cheese dip on the house, which, at least wasn’t pink but pretty unappealing.
The fish price is sneakily per pound but that is hidden at the bottom of the menu description instead of next to the price - and comes with nothing, so add on side dishes. The moussaka was luke warm, and includes zucchini and small amounts of eggplant and was not enjoyable.
We waited forever for our main dishes and had to rush eating them in 8 minutes, as we had to get to our show- and we made the reservation with plenty of time to enjoy 2, if not 3 courses.
The fish came to $52 for something available at a close by Mediterranean restaurant for $37 INCLUDING VEGETABLES! To top off this disgraceful experience, an ‘operating fee’ of $5.78 was added to the bill- (isn’t that the business of a restaurant?) We just wanted to get out and didn’t question the fee - just paid and left incredibly disappointed and determined others should not book here.
You only get one chance to impress and this fell down on everything

We had a corporate dinner in the private room upstairs and everything was absolutely perfect! The food was excellent and the menu was well designed, the service was attentive, and the space had a great ambiance. I highly recommend!

We got very hungry and went to a random Greek restaurant for dinner. And as always, intuition did not fail.
We were satisfied with all the dishes we were treated to. Tasty, good and quick service. Good service of waiters and hall workers.

Close to Grand Central. Pretty crowded when we were there but generally quiet for conversations. The foods are never disappointing and the Pre-Fix is a great value

We were a part of three and seated at a table meant for two. The third person had to face a white stucco wall that had stains on it. Also, that person's back was to the entire restaurant and was never able to really see the waitperson. The lunch prix-fee menu was adequate despite the many upcharges. The $8.00 cup of coffee was bitter and tasted as it was brewed several hours previously. For the price point charged, it was not a good dining experience.
