Was a good place but arrogant waiter ~ with odd policies .. place closed down the next day .

The place is conveniently located in Midtown. The staff, lighting, restrooms, and atmosphere were exceptional. I just wished the food quality was to match. The Broiled Shrimp was priced at $36. When it came out it was small in portion and just tossed on top of sautéed onions. It lacked presentation and something else worthy of the high price. The Iris Pastitsio was equally disappointing. I felt overall conned and insulted having this recommended by Chase Sapphire. Please do better...read full review

The Dolmas were excellent - the whipped feta and pita were to die for - the tuna tartare, bigeye tuna, and branzino were all top notch.

I plan on returning next time I’m in town for a show.
