It's a nice restaurant. The appetizers were delicious and tender. Squid was juicy, octopus too! The potatoes with lemon were very interesting! Two different fish were also very tasty and the leg of lamb was very interesting. I recommend it, it's delicious!

This restaurant has the most unique and Greek vibe I have found outside of Greece. It’s a long, cave-like place that feels cozy and homey thanks to the large kitchen island like bar. There is quiet electronic music playing in the background. Service was impeccable. They started me off with a delicious Fava bean puree and pita bread. The octopus was delicious, though I’m not a fan of the balsamic drizzle on top. What’s wrong with lemon? (I guess there’s nothing more Greek than trying to be Italian). I loved the lemon potatoes. The wine selection was good and they let me taste before ordering a glass.

All our dishes were delicious. We started with a grilled octopus that was just perfect with the capers, and then we ordered a branzino and one of the best pork I have ever had. If the Napoleon is available on the dessert menu, please go for it! Great servers and friendly staff.

What an amazing find! Search for a good place to have lamb chops got us here but we had no idea we were in for an absolute treat. The meatballs and moussaka as appetizers and lamb chops for main course was an experience for the taste buds. Everything was fresh, plentiful and delicious. The Galaktobourekakia was the perfect end to an amazing meal. Not to forget...the friendliness of the staff and pleasant ambience makes it an ideal spot for a special meal. We will be back!!

An exceptional greek restaurant upscale but reasonable priced. Fresh ingredients and unique sweets. I have been in many greek restaurants and pylos should ranked at the top 3. Brunch is $18. We had lunch 3 appetizers 4 glasses of wine 2 Main dishes Entry 3 Brunch . 2 desert around 70 per person includes tip and tax. Revisited pylos in June 24 Still one of the best greek restaurant around. Great service as well.

Pylos was the perfect choice for a large gathering of friends and family! The service was outstanding, shared appetizers wowed everyone, lamb shank won the night, and the desserts left us deeply satisfied. All the reviews I read were right - the best Greek food in Manhattan!

One of my favorite restaurants in NYC and for me certainly the best Greek food in NYC. I’ve been going for more than a decade and it’s still delivers consistently great quality. It is a relaxed and more causal atmosphere with amazingly authentic and sublimely executed dishes. The octopus, lamb chop, the trio of dips, the whole fish, hummus, the halloumi cheese, and the baked pasta are highlights for me. The octopus especially is cooked to perfection. The wine list has a good selection of Greek wines. The service is very personable and attentive.

Food was incredible server was incredible, just a bit pricier than average Mediterranean/greek food! Tables were also very close to one another, so very intimate seating and dining experience. The meatballs were incredibly juicy and flavorful, the blend of meats was perfect! The spicy feta presentation was unlike I had ever seen, you had to cut into the pepper to get the feta; made me a bit confused as to, should I eat this on pita? Or is it to be eaten alone? Overall, it was incredibly tasty and whether I ate it with Peter or solo, I would definitely order it again. Unfortunately, only stopped in for apps in a drink, but the rest of the menu was very expensive and atypical Greek would be well worth a return visit.

We had a great time here. The food was delicious! When we were the restaurant was pretty empty so the staff were even more so attentive. The ambiance was exactly what I needed for a day after work to be wined and dined.

Elegant atmosphere with friendly staff. Lamb shank was excellent. Pistachio crusted wild bass was a little salty on outside and a little tasteless on the inside. Arugula salad was basic with isolated elements (more of a DIY salad). Restaurant was mostly empty but we were told to sit at the bar because we didn’t have a reservation.

Food: 3.5/5 Service: 4.5/5 We ordered the most popular entrees but I wasn't really impressed. Lamb chop: the grilled flavor is nice but doesn't have too much seasoning Lamb shank: it's braised and falls off the bone. The sauce probably has some balsamic vinegar which is interesting but it doesn't go into the meat - might be better if the shank were marinated longer. Whole fish: nice and has char grilled flavor. It's fresh but is a pretty standard entree compared to other Greek restaurants. Greek salad: like it. The feta cheese is very nice and generous portion. Overall I think it's a place for Greek food and wine that won't stand out but good enough. Reservations highly recommend especially for Friday and weekend.

Been a very long time since I had been there (pre-Covid). I was a bit disappointed. The food wasn't nearly as good as back in the day. The meatballs used to be heavenly. Now they're mealy. The halumi was lukewarm. The quality of the spreads just aren't what they were. On the good side, the lamb shank is still excellent. Best octopus I've had in a while. The staff were very attentive. The wines are very reasonably priced. The tables are a bit packed, but it wasn't crowded when I was there (it might be less pleasant when full).
