We had dinner there with friends who wanted to invite my husband and I to congratulate us on our wedding - which happened to take place in Greece! We know Greek cuisine very well and love it very much, and so I honestly expected to be a little disappointed, as I have been with many Greek restaurants in New York in the past. Well it was not the case this time! The food was very traditional and very good.

Being a vegetarian I was not able to try any of the entrees, but we ordered a bunch of appetizers to share and they were all great! I heard from my friends at the table that the shrimp and the octopus were also delicious.



And, last but not least, they had very good Masticha (traditional greek alcohol which we ve had trouble finding here in New York).

If you like Greek cuisine and miss it, I definitely recommend that you visit The Greek. It s not Greece of course, but it s pretty close considering that you are actually in the heart of the city.
