So, I've walked past this restaurant on numerous occasions and always wanted to try it out as it looks very inviting from outside on W60th. But from the start, it was all a bit of a disappointment. We had an early sitting as we had theatre tickets for a show later at 8pm. I had made the reservation over the phone the day before, and not via Resy, so when we arrived no one was able to find my reservation in the system. Nothing had been logged. So, that was annoying to start with. After a while of people checking, we were promptly seated right by the bar, which is also annoying as it's a constant walk-through with people coming and going. I was super disappointed to see a huge TV screen playing football - who wants this, in what is meant to be a high-end sea food restaurant? Go to a sports bar if you want football. I asked to move tables and this was agreed by the staff, (however, it clearly was a problem for them even though the restaurant was far from full ) but at one point, there were 6 members of staff all crowded behind the check-in counter, some doing nothing and playing with their hair, others just talking and standing around, some looking lost and without a job to do. And suddenly there was huge influx of other diners resulting in a big bottleneck. The restaurant manager needs to sharpen up on the arrival of diners and managing the seating arrangements. We then sat and it took nearly 10 mins just to be greeted and offered water. Yet, the restaurant was OVERLOADED with wait staff, servers, groups of them laughing and talking together doing nothing - such a bad look in any restaurant. Our own server was nice enough when he came to our table, but nothing was truly personal, it was more just transactional. The food was just ok in the end. It's way overpriced as other diners have noted, and the price of fresh fish from the middle counter where you can choose from is ludicrous. Some at $75 - $150 a pound. Our shrimps which we started with had clearly been frozen prior, as they were rubbery and a bit tough. Portions were small too and actually nothing one couldn't struggle preparing at home. In all, it was an overrated dinner for sure, the interior is nice but there's much better and way more affordable elsewhere. Go to Kiki's on Division in Chinatown for a more fun, authentic and not as absurdly expensive Greek-inspired experience.
