Molyvos

I dined here a few weeks ago while on a quick trip to NYC. I have to say I think this is some of the best Greek / Mediterranean food I've ever had. The staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. Our waiter was fantastic and made some wonderful recommendations. We had the luxury of having a larger party 6 people so we were able to try a lot of options. We asked to dine family style and the chef was happy to oblige. The octopus was probably the best I've ever had - so tender and flavorful. The lamb was fantastic and pretty much every appetizer that we ordered was great. They also had a great wine list with a ton of options for every budget. The pricing was extremely reasonable especially for New York. I will absolutely be back.

I recommend the Orange wine, the Three Spread Sampler, Ouzo Flamed Haloumi Cheese Saganaki, Molyvos Moussaka, and Lahano Dolmades. We ate here a week ago and live close to the new location on 43rd and 9th Ave. Great food and wine, wonderful service, laid back atmosphere and I enjoyed the decor---not because I'm into decor but because I had spent a summer in Greece travelling, camping, sightseeing and doing a little manual labor many years ago. The wall of Rhodian ceramics, plates caught my eye and one of them is the same symbol, a Rhodian deer that I have on a mug I brought home from the trip see the photos; two statues of the deer also adorn the Harbor in Rhodos. And the stacked stone w/no mortar corner wall reminds me of the caretaker's cabin at the Temple of Apollo Epicurius at Bassae of Phigaleia. Thank you for the meal and stoking the old memories.

Loved it here!!! This is a dated review. Visited June 2021 for dinner. Everything was just great!!! Ambiance, food and outstanding service! Served by owner’s also chef wife. She charmed us all! Good friends who had various dietary considerations and myself were graciously accommodated. Mistakenly, I thought Greek/Mediterranean cuisine would be heavy and not to my liking, but I was very pleased with servers recommendations. Especially pleased it is a family operation. Again, food, service and ambiance was all stellar! ……GO, Enjoy….you’ll know!

This is by far the best restaurant in the theatre district. It’s also a family business. The food is delicious and the ambience is great. I sat at the bar before my party came. The cocktails were great; they serve a craft gin owned by the family and it’s unique and tasty. I always like a Greek meal but at Molyvos the food is reliably delicious, the presentation is classy and the service is great. Highly recommend the taramasalata - better than any you’d find in Greece!

Had an excellent meal here the other day - as a lover of Greek food this place is one of the best. The menu is very classic and authentic, with taramasalata better than any I’ve had in Greece. They also have great cocktails, dips, and a fabulous ambiance. My group ordered a huge variety of appetisers and none were a miss. For mains we had the stuffed peppers, moussaka, and dolmades which were all incredible as well, especially the moussaka. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Unbelievable food, authentic fine dining greek cuisine. Extensive, impressive greek wine collection. I was so impressed with the service thanks to Despina and the food, we can’t wait to come back!

Great service, great food, good ambiance. Loved the dips, octopus, moussaka. Not just green food too, they had a few crudos and stuff that were very tasty and refreshing. Also, always fun to try Greek wines and get a little adventurous. Good selection of Greek liquors as well. Vegetarian options: They had vegetarian dishes Dietary restrictions: They had gluten free dishes

Mediterranean is easy to do, but incredibly difficult to do at an elite level. Yet Molyvos seems dedicated to an authentic Greek cuisine that separates itself from the crowded field. The mousaka and the Greek spreads are savory and delectable and I was particularly impressed with how well both the seafood and meat were prepared usually restaurants excel at one or the other, not both. Bonus points for great service. I'll definitely be coming back.

Fantastic experience all-around. We were kindly let in before the restaurant re-opened at five, and immediately asked if we were seeing a show to ensure we wouldn't need to rush our meal. Very sleek, modern interior, delicious Greek food, with surprisingly generous portion sizes, and an evening that was worth the price of admission.Food: 5/5

So incredibly elated that this gem of a restaurant has reopened. I love to get a bunch of the small plates/ mezze. The food is absolutely delicious, and they have spectacular selection of greek wines too. Literally cannot go wrong.
