I visited Ammos for lunch last week and it was a DELICIOUS meal! We enjoyed a variety of appetizers, each was better than the next. I also coordinated a board dinner at Ammos and I heard nothing but great reviews. Angela and the team are quick to respond to emails to make the planning stress free. There are a few options for prix fixe so keeping the cost in line with what my company wanted to spend for a private room was quite easy. I highly recommend!

I had an incredible experience at Ammos! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, stylish, and inviting.
The food was outstanding. Every dish was full of bold, authentic flavor and made with incredibly fresh ingredients. One of the standout features was their impressive selection of fresh fish. I ordered the sea bass, and it was absolutely phenomenal — perfectly grilled, moist, and delicately seasoned. You could genuinely taste the freshness.
We also tried the grilled octopus, moussaka, and lamb chops — each dish was better than the last. The tzatziki was rich and creamy with just the right amount of garlic, paired perfectly with warm, fluffy pita bread.
The drinks at Ammos were just as impressive. Their cocktails were well-balanced and creative — the ouzo-based one with citrus was especially refreshing — and the Greek wine selection was excellent, with a few hidden gems I hadn’t tried before.
The service was top-notch. Friendly, knowledgeable staff made thoughtful recommendations and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the evening.
Ammos exceeded my expectations on every level. If you’re looking for authentic Greek cuisine, fresh seafood, and a fantastic atmosphere, this place is a must visit. I’m already looking forward to going back!

Five star all the way. Filet of Sole was delicious and cooked to perfection. The zucchini croquets were moist and among the best I have ever had. The linguine pasta with shrimp, also excellent.

We hosted a private business dinner in their wine cellar room. Ammos were very accommodating with our guests' dietary restrictions and responsive to any logistical changes we had ahead of the dinner. On the night, the food and service were amazing as well as the room set-up. Shout-out to Angela on their team! Would recommend for an intimate business dinner.

I’ve visited Ammos twice, once during peak lunch hour and once for dinner. I recommend making a reservation, as lunchtime gets very busy, while dinner is much quieter.

The fish here is incredibly fresh, though a bit on the pricier side since it’s sold at market price by the pound. The sea bass is my personal favorite—perfectly grilled, with a nice char, and deboned for your convenience. The service is also great; everyone is friendly and attentive.

Love this restaurant: the atmosphere, decor, music and service were phenomenal. They are trying sushi Thursdays, which they need to keep doing because the sushi was so great.

Be warned, very poor quality food at obscene prices. Frozen microwave food tastes better than the offerings we sampled at this restaurant.

Very mixed first impression, as initially the place was too empty for the time and day and the appetizers were amazing. Then everything changed...the place was packed, however the main courses were not that great. While the ceviche and the octopus were by far one of the best, the steak was nowhere near being great. The service was top notch throughout the whole dinner.

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.
