Bahari Estiatorio

One of the best Greek restaurants in NYC. Food is always good and fresh. Great selection of vegetarian dishes.

Great friendly staff, great atmosphere of the restaurant, sort of has a fancy feel but with an at home vibe. Pretty much all the seafood there is excellent. If you like fish and squid, this is the place to go.

Best Greek food I have ever had. Their stuffed cabbage and eggplant are nothing short of extraordinary. Be sure to get the grilled squid or octopus appetizer. Perfectly cooked and extremely fresh. Very good prices for the quality of food you get!

3/5 – I lived next to Greek family in Chicago for 21 years, they were restaurateurs in Athens… I have eaten everything from (all made from scratch and in their kitchen) Dolmades to classic baklava and everything in between… I was so excited to come here with the huge praise this place has online. While the atmosphere was loud and somewhat disheveled (just like an authentic Greek joint) to waiters were fast and efficient and helpful, etc… the food was a big letdown…now granted it did say cold appetizer so I ordered Skordalia which I looooves. It came out stone cold heaped on a dish almost like the chef was flicking it off the fork onto the service dish as it was sticking to the spoon. In my opinion this should be served at a tepid temperature….serving it refrigerator cold is just blah ! The bread was stale…I passed on that…the pita bread was delicious ! good job…
I then ordered another classic which should always be perfect – Spanakopita !! it was dry, not that flakey, and over cooked… I can almost guarantee it was stone cold in the fridge…taken out…then placed in an oven to warm up….well, they overcooked it…again a dish that can be kept at a safe holding temperature (its vegetarian too) then heated up gently …then it would have been amazing! it was blah too!
After this average experience, I then asked for the check and walked out… I was very sad.. I was hoping this was going to be like my child and youth hood…alas not!
I’d pass here…find elsewhere!
