Had a very weird experience with our server Violeta. We ordered a few things along with a SEAFOOD orzo, which in the menu contains shrimps, octopus, mussels and calamari. The dish arrived and it had a brown food item which didn’t look like a seafood, we asked violeta if it was pork & she replied “that’s lamb” (we are muslim, i am wearing a head scarf, and we informed her that we don’t eat pork) so we continued to have the dish but we were still unsure. We asked another server what the brown thing was and she was nice enough to go inform the manager of this issue, the manager came and informed us that it is infact pork. they gave us the full meal for free but I didn’t appreciate the fact that violete lied and didn’t correct her mistake. She didn’t even come to apologize at all. We had to involve another server for her to assist us with this issue. Definitely wont be coming back & be careful if u have any allergies.

The food is good, the service is nice and the atmosphere at least around 9 PM is very calm and relaxing. I definitely recommend this place, I brought my family here for a Christmas Eve dinner and they loved it. My young niece came with us and they custom made an off the menu order of french fries for her :) very nice staff.

Visited as a night cap after my company's holiday party. Walter was my bartender and he introduced me to a wonderful mezcal expresso martini! The coat check girl, whose name I forget was very personable and nice, she had a big party that had come in earlier but took the time to socialize and talk with me and my colleague as she was closing out. Really good environment.
Had an amazing experience here, the food was top notch and the service was very attentive!

We walked into Nerai on a Saturday evening with no reservation and had an absolutely incredible experience!
The ambiance is cozy, chic and there is enough room to move throughout the restaurant freely (so many NYC restaurants are too tiny). The servers were very attentive and kind.
I got the loukoumi drink which was incredible. It’s heavy on the rose so it was very floral-y. I enjoyed it. The complimentary bread with olive dip was insanely addictive. We aren’t even fans of olives and we loved it.
We started with the spanakopita. Flaky, savory and the tzatziki added a nice freshness. The grilled octopus was our favorite dish. The caramelized onions and peppers added sweetness, paired with the charcoaled octopus and santorini fava… the dish was so well balanced and every flavor complimented one another. Absolute must order.
The salmon entree was cooked perfectly as well. There was a nice crisp on top and crispy leeks, on a bed of spinach rice. Adding the santorini fava from the grilled octopus dish = FIRE!
They brought out a complimentary piece of cake for my birthday, which was very sweet. This is a great place to dine and I highly recommend it!

Great dinning experience! Service is excellent, food was also very good. One of the few places that gives you a “full” rack of lamb. The Sommelier recommended a great bottle of Greek wine that went nicely with both our fish and lamb dishes. The appetizers were also delicious so if you just want apps and drinks the bar area is a good scene.
Its honestly fire the whole menu loved it
