We continue to enjoy this Upper East Side Greek gem. Lovely and vibrant atmosphere. If you like Greek food this restaurant will not disappoint. Open for lunch and dinner. Enjoy a nice stroll in the park if dining there for lunch and get some exercise after your dining experience. Super close to MET and Central Park.
